Happy Birthday Rudy!

6 Years ago, (also the 9-11 anniversary) Sir Rudy of Vickrey came to love with us! (9-18-07) Initially he would only whistle and grunt alot, but by the time he was one year old, he took his human Daddy's voice and began to regal us with his short choppy sentances. He now is well over 600 words and phrases, and sounds EXACTLY like Walt. Dont be alarmed if you hear Walt calling you a dumbass, very gruffly. Its really Rudy trying to intimidate you. He always delivers laughs, and yes, now and again a nip of a finger. grunt. His number one joy in life is to eat. Pictured below eating his kiwi berry birthday Tart. Secondly to roam all over his cage and jungle gym doing his parrot Olympics up there. He showers with me and does all the singing but truth is, he cant carry a tune in a bucket! He whistles perfectly a song, but to sing it, its kind of like watching your worst episode of American Idol.

Rudy insists on working in the shop with me daily. In here he will chat with me, sing, dance, pester the poodle, and even argue with me. He has many fabric scraps hanging from his manzinitaa tree and enjoys chewing the strands while saying "mama sew...."He is very demanding,and a bit of a piggy, but then, I'm used to that.:::snicker:::

Happy birthdayto my lil ole man in his grey flanned suit. I love you Dear Rudy!
