Meet Henry

Henry, Parakeet Ex'Traordinar, Oft's B & B

Meet, Henry our parakeet and the subject of quite a story.  

Jeanette, my mother had two birds and when she passed away in 2007 we inherited them.  Linda and I went on a cruise that following year and a member of the family took care of the birds at their home.  During our absence, the original male somehow got out of the cage and the house door was open.  

You guessed it; the bird escaped.  He truly flew the coup!

Rather than tell us, our family member tried to sneak in a ringer. When Linda went to pick up the birds one had miraculously changed color!  They couldn't find a match. Close but no cigar!

Anyway, the new Henry was a much younger bird.  He outlived the older female and has been single now for about 3 years.  

NO,..... we're not getting another bird.
