Hi there! My name is Pepito and I'm a little Meyer's parrot with a big personality. While I don't have a preference between women or men, I definitely have a preference in which humans I like. If I like you, I'll step up easily, let you rub my head and even lay upside down in your hand! Those that I don't like run the risk of having me dive-bomb their head. Hehehe.
As you can see in my pictures, I'm beautifully colored. There is some debate over whether I'm a male or female. It's never been confirmed by a DNA test and although I know, I'm not telling!
Bananas and walnuts are my favorite treats and like Shumba, the other Meyer's here, I eat a very healthy diet of Harrison's pellets. I say the word "apple" in a very cute voice and while I do say lots of other words, they're usually drowned out by the noise from all the other birds here. If you'd like to really know what I'm saying, I guess you'll have to take me home and cuddle up with me!
If you'd like to learn more about me or come and meet me, please contact the Refuge.
Love,
Pepito
