Simon is a wonderful talking 27 Year old male African Grey. Simon is a good eater too; he loves his daily cooked food. Simon has had only one owner his life, so he doesn’t have any bad habits nor a foul mouth. Simon has a wonderful personality and seems to ask “Whatcha’ Doing nearly every time you walk by his cage. One of the best things about Simon is that can be trusted to stay on top of his cage all day while being supervised. He prefers to be located near the kitchen in view of the TV so he can enjoy his cartoons.

Simon does talk quite a bit, he came to us with some minor chest plucking, most likely due to separation anxiety. But since he has been with us, he has started growing all of his feathers back.
