NATHAN /// PILOT & PARROT FAN

“Skye is a pretty new edition to the family … She’s a companion bird and she’s happy to be with me while I’m doing anything, pretty much.”

“I love how intelligent she is and the amount of joy she gives people. She really makes their day.”

“I feed her fruit in the morning, pellets and nuts during the day and then sweet potato mash with brown rice, quinoa, chia seeds and vegies.”

“When she hits sexual maturity, she’ll be looking for a mate. The way I interact with her at that time will have to change, especially the tactile stimulation.”

“The first two days were pretty scary before she was clipped. She got stuck on top of the air conditioner and couldn’t get down. Luckily, all the fans were off!”

“She’s pretty noisy, especially on the weekend when she knows you’re home and she wants to get up and play.”
