Happy World Parrot Day from our comedian Pancake, my sweet & adorable little Pacific Parrotlet! 🦜 🩵
🗣️ He says ~25 words and phrases including Hi Mommy; I Love You; Go Steelers; Hi Mama Hi Papa; Free Britney; Give Me a Kiss; Can I Have Kisses; Pretty Bird; Pancake; Such a Good Boy; I Am So Smart; You’re So Cute… and more, including “aww” and “hey!” 🥰
🦈 😂 He laughs, barks, gives kisses, plays peek-a-boo, does a wiggle dance, flirts, and sings the Baby Shark song. 😘
🎶 He loves his playlist of music which includes some of his favorites (*as measured by his excited chirps and dancing) like: Toxic; Machinehead; Baby Shark; We Like to Party; Just Dance; the Chicken Dance; Sandstorm; and ABC Easy as 123. 🪩
📺 His favorite TV show is Do-Re-Mi on Amazon— a toddlers’ cartoon about a trio of singing birds.
🏀 🛹 🛒 🎸 🗑️ He can put a basketball into a hoop and toys into a garbage can. He has his own skateboard, shopping cart, guitar, and xylophone toys.
🥗 He loves peas, chia seeds, spinach, and blackberries. He also loves car rides & our fish Freddie Mercury and dogs Olive Magnolia & Pip! 🐾
🥞 Pancake is so smart, so fun, and soooo loved! 🫶🏼

💡 Pacific parrotlets are also known as celestial parrots, forpus, or pocket parrots. They are the smallest species of parrot and are not parakeets, despite similar appearances. Domestic parrotlets are highly intelligent 🧠 but do best as solo birds i.e. they don’t usually do well with a fellow avian mate. They’re native to Ecuador & Peru.
Pancake is an almost 3-year-old blue marbled male/blue pied male. His hatch date was in August 2020 and gotcha day was in October 2020!
