Carlie…Beautiful and Intelligent!
Carlie preening
Carlie, our 11 year old African Grey is not only an extremely beautiful bird, she is also VERY intelligent. She’s not as out going as Dylon our male and usually takes a back seat when friends come over, as she is rather shy and doesn’t like a lot of attention. Those that have met our birds just ewww and ahhh over Dylon, because he is an in your face kind of bird. Not Carlie……..our sweet, lovable, little angel. You have to get to know Carlie before she loosens up and shows her true self. That true self is the most amazing creature I have ever come across. Just looking at Carlie you can see what a beautiful bird she is, what you can’t see is the clever intellect behind that sweet face.
Here is an example of how smart she is, this actually took cognizant thinking. Usually when Carlie and Dylon get up form their afternoon naps, their first treat is roasted peanuts in the shell. (we buy the jumbo size 
) We usually give them 3 peanuts, I gave Dylon 3 average size jumbos and gave Carlie 2 average size jumbos and an extremely large jumbo almost twice as big as the others. Now, get this, Carlie looked in her bowl and then dug around awhile and brought out the extra large peanut. She had examined all 3 and she actually chose the larger nut. What a clever girl she is!
Beautiful Carlie
These pictures shows what a real sweetheart she is. Carlie doesn’t always have a lot to say, she’s not a real big talker, but she makes up for that with being a REAL big lover. She can sing and dance but most of all she is full of love and kisses! She is very mothering to Bob and takes extra care of him. At times she does try to be the boss of him, but hey, isn’t that what a good mother does? I hope one of these days she gets to be a mother to her own off spring. She’ll make an excellent mother. Hat’s off to you Carlie…..we love you!
