Thanks for your interest in our blog and for the interesting story. You’re lucky to have that zoo nearby, it’s not easy to find a Pesquet’s Parrot on exhibit. I look forward to hearing from you in the future, Good luck, enjoy and please keep me posted. Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello, Frank Indiviglio here.

I make a habit of treating the parrots there like people, so I greet them and talk to them and make interesting sounds (if they seem to like it). Most of the parrots were not very responsive that day, but the single Pesquet's Parrot I stopped by was very interested. As I talked to her softly and made some noises, she came up closer to me, and then, as we stared at each other, she made a hoarse, gravelly call to me, which sounded kinda like "greehhhh". We shared a wonderful little moment, and I can't wait to go back and visit her again! I met one of these wonderful parrots at the Houston Zoo a month or two ago.
