About Me........

My name is Bobby.  I am an African Grey Parrot and I live in the West Midlands of the UK. I live with Matty, and Carol.  Matty is my favorite person and I will tell you all about him on my friends page.
I sleep in a big, big cage at night but during the day, I like to sit on my stand in the conservatory so that I look at the garden.  Click on my garden below to see a larger picture.
I used to live with David but I got lonely when he went to work. So David asked Matty if I could live there with him.  I have been living with Matty for about six years now. I am about 12 years old now which is quite young for a parrot.  We can live for a very long time - sometimes about 50 - 60 years!!  So I should live till I'm a very old man.
I love to whistle and talk.  I am very good at copying sounds and I can make Carol think that the phone is ringing so she runs to answer it - and then when she picks the phone up she realises it is me!! It's great fun.
I am very good at making all sorts of sounds - I surprise visitors by doing a nice wolf whistle or saying hello in a very posh voice - sometimes they don't realise it was me and think there is someone else in the room! I also like to play with toys.  My favorite toy at the moment is a roly poly duck which jingles when he wobbles.  I bang him hard with my beak to try to knock him over but he bounces straight back up!  When he wobbles up again, I say 'Quack quack"!!
