Newest Little Friend :)

This is Peeko :)
He is a blue parrotlet.
He was my Christmas present this year :)

Parrotlets are the world's smallest breed of parrot and are very smart. They can live 15 to 20 years and can be potty trained, hand tamed, and can learn up to 180 words! Peeko is still a baby so we have a long way to go on all of that. He has already been trying to immitate my mom's kissy noises. It's progressed to a sort of clicking. As you can see, he loves to hang upside down. I think he might spend more time like that than right side up (lol). As for hand training, we've gotten as far as petting. He loves cheek rubs. He has a little bit of a nipping habit, but we might be able to break that or he might just grow out of it since he's still very young.
