These little characters can live for many, many years, if well cared for - hope this one is one of those who ARE well cared for; 0r were - very handsome.

One of my (gardening) customers - a lovely young lady in her 90’s - used to have parrots as pets. She lived abroad and smuggled her African grey parrot to the UK in her hand luggage (back in the day..,)! She has a painting of another parrot (beautiful botanic-type painting), and asked if I could paint the African grey ‘to match’. ‘Linda’, I say, ‘I can’t paint like that…!
