This Is Mr. Peepers. He is an African Grey Parrot and has made an appearance on Active Rain before. Our day is made brighter fom sun up until bedtime because of this loudmouth chatterbox. His current vocabulary is pushing about `100 words and sentances, with only one for certain bad word. He also is an extraordianary musician. He is a beautiful whistler and can handle Mozart or Hendrix...often times combining them! He is a very happy bird. Each morning he tells my wife

" You are soooo cute!"

and the frst words I hear are "Do you want a peanut.?" He has an array pf emotions and is like an alarm clock with daily activities. Best Pet we ever had! He will probably outlive me!

Thanks for sharing your best friend with us. Does his attitude change with Daylight Savings Time?

Hi Trey... Mr. Peepers is certainly a handsome guy! Does he enjoy having his photo taken?

Quite the talented bird, Trey! I'm trying to imagine what the Mozart/Hendrix combination sounds like.

Hey Trey, a bit of a ham in that bird also for the way he poses for the shot. Does he find his way back to the cage for a nature call? Thanks for sharing.

Why the name Mr Peppers? I see no resemblance to Wally Cox.

Trey: Mr. Peepers sounds like a real character. I've never had a bird, but they sound very entertaining. How old is he?

Mr. Peepers looks like he has his feathers a little ruffled today. Maybe cause you told all AR that he had one bad word in his vocabulary.
