Yaco

My dad came to visit this past weekend and brought with him Yaco, his African Grey parrot.  We got Yaco 17 years ago (when I was just 9.)  Anyway I hadn't seen Yaco in 5 years and didn't realize how much I missed her until I saw her.  I talked my dad into leaving her here, so Yaco is staying with us for awhile (and we're all very excited about that.)
I got a few short video clips of her yesterday and today, and now that I think about it I'm not sure there's any other video of her other than from when she was a baby.  As you can see she really likes to say her name.  And I just learned how to get her talking, play a video of her.  As I was playing the videos just now on the computer I could hardly hear because she's going nuts copying everything she hears.



And then some pictures of the kids holding her when my dad was here, he's the one that put her on their heads (I wouldn't do that myself.)

And Phoebe didn't really think the head thing was a good idea

And I just remembered I have a couple pictures of Yaco as a baby in my photobucket account, here she is all cute and fuzzy
