And now we have a young bird named Henry. He's a Senegal parrot who pretty much runs our household. My father and mother were both bird lovers as well. My father was a particular lover of corvids. That's the group of birds that includes, among others, magpies, ravens and also crows

So I would say, should you decide to bring a parrot into your home as a companion, if you're going to get one of the bigger ones, get one that's already kind of far along. Anyway, thank you so much for your reply. If you come back to the swell from time to time, you will probably hear a lot about birds

Thank you. Jonathan. I did hear it. It was beautiful. And I also heard at the end a human sound, possibly an airplane. I'm not sure which for me did not at all mar the experience of listening to the birds, but placed me in both worlds at once. Thanks again
