Rita, the cutest dog in the world, now has a new sister - Sandia, the cutest parrot in the world.
Sandia, which means watermelon in Spanish, joined our family a few weeks ago and has fit in perfectly.
What this bird lacks in stature, she makes up for in sass - pure-dee sass!
The smallest (and supposedly the most intelligent) of all parrots, the green-cheeked conure parrot has tons of personality. Sandia is no exception. She loves to snuggle, acts like a complete brat when left alone too long, and is a complete Houdini when it comes to escaping her cage. Right now, there are kitchen utensils jammed throughout the exterior of her cage, pinning down parts of it to prevent her inevitable disappearing act. As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to make my way to the pet store and find something a little less tacky. :)
