Claude the Parrot

I'm Claude, the one-winged Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot terrorizing the California Bay Area. Hola, it's Claude. You may have noticed I am missing my left wing.

When I'm not trying to maul my dad for amputating my wing after a bad fight with a raccoon, I'm screaming, dancing, backpacking, and eating all your blueberries. I am an as***le and I'm here to wreak havoc for another 70 years. Amazons can live into their 80s and I'm only a teen, so joke's on you. It got ripped off by a raccoon (not kidding). My dad, who is a veterinarian, saved me. I try to kill

him all the time. Clearly, I am not grateful. I get my name after my mom's actual human friend, who also lost his right arm in an accident (we got his blessing). I like to think of it this way: together, he and I make a whole, but he got all the nice and I got all the spice. This also means that I can't fly, but my parents are thankful because I would definitely fly and bite the s**t out of you. No, my wing can't grow back--that's not how my science works. Where I lack in flight, I make up for my excellent climbing skills; hence, the nickname "Death-Grip Claude."

On Valentine's Day, 8 years ago, Claude came home to us. I knew nothing about owning a bird, and only learned later from my husband (who grew up with birds) that Amazons are considered an intermediate to advanced bird to care for. 😓 Happy Gotchya Day, Claude! What a wild joy ride. 😅

New year, new chance to turn a new leaf 🍁

I remember how annoyed I would get as a child every time my parents wanted to stop and take a photo. Claude seemed to be in a similar mood that day. 😅

Even on a hike, Claude seems to always be plotting something. 😈

Claude’s usually not the hugest fan of strawberries, but can certainly taste the difference when they’re homegrown! It’s the perfect parrot-sized berry! 🍓 #treatyoself #spring #garden #bounty #bluefrontedamazon #rescue #amazon #parrot #amazonparrot #birb
