Yes, this goes way beyond handholding woodpeckers or chickadees. :)

I agree with him at the end. Everyone should have a bird pet, it certainly reduces stress. :)

Yeah, but Red isn't really a pet. He would be in no danger if he lived with me. :)

LOL, I think any pet that you form a bond with is a great thing.

That's amazing...

Definately a "feel good" story if ever I've seen one.

My question is.. is it potty trained? Birds are not the cleanest of animals when it comes to that.

Very cool Mitch, and I think he is right, everybody needs a Frankie.

Andrew, I didn't think birds could be potty trained, and I did see a piece on a PBS special about chickens once where a woman had a pet chicken that wore a diaper. Growing up on a farm, I never believed they could be potty trained, until I saw this on the news yesterday. ;)
