Well HOWDY!
The location you have listed is right near my home, and the news program on in the background is where I am sitting, right now, waiting for Gary Reals to get his story done so I can edit it.
What a small world.
I didn’t know we had a parrot rescue in the DC area?

I just Googled it and saw they were tight with my news operation. I don’t think I have room for a parrot in my life right now, as my girlfriend has introduced 21 chickens, 3 pygmy goats and later this week, her Percheron Quarterhorse to my house / life in Frederick. I’m still building fences.
Oh and I broke my leg in June.
Welcome to Frederick, if even momentarily (as much as I have followed your story.)

Man, he gets back and the chicks just swarm all over him…
(The parrots look totally unimpressed with Phelps, by the way.)

What a fun picture!
Those parrots are beautiful, but aren’t you at all afraid they’ll peck your eyes out!?!? I love those birds, but have always been afraid of them because I’ve heard of their powerful jaws.

You are a brave, brave man, Paul. I would have been running from that room screaming like a little girl with those vultures standing on me.

I hope that when Paul was there he didn’t suffer a parrotty error. 🙂
