Reward!!!

A  dear friend, ‘Angel’, has lost her beloved Quaker parrot, Alex.  She has placed several ads on the net and this is my little contribution to increase the chances of her finding him. Alex is her life!! Below is the advert which Angel has placed on   Graigslist Website :

Quaker Parrot. Alex. Male. Green with blue flight feathers. About the size of a large cockatiel, but has much stockier build. Feathers scruffy at shoulders. Talks clearly, large vocabulary, kisses, 15 and a half years old. Very friendly. Loves to have head and face petted and scratched. And so much more. He is my Best Friend, my Feather Child, Constant Companion and My Life!!! Please See Photos At The Bottom ...

REWARD!!! Unfortunately, I am disabled and poor but I do have a 14 K gold ring with diamonds and emeralds. Anyone who finds Alex can have it! It was a gift to me many years ago and has no sentimental value. I was there when it was purchased and many years ago it sold for over $400. I'm certain it's worth much more now. Also, I'll look around to see what else I have that is of monitory value but not sentimental and ... Whoever finds him can have it all! You have my word on that.

Kissing noise or sound then "I Love you!" and repeats it several times. "What are ya doin?" "What about that?" Even though most all his speech is very clear, he pronounced his name like this: "Owek." And "Oooowwwweeekkkkk" "Common. Common Owek." "Hello." "Hi!" "Bye Bye." "Stop it." "Shut up." (the shut up is a very, very funny story and no, I never told him to shut up and he did not learn it from me. lol) "Don't do it." "Cocoa!" And "Common Cocoa!" "Wake up!" Before and after "Wake Up!" He would click his beak on the top of his nest box trying to imitate clapping sound. Then there's ... "Mama." "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" ... "What!" "Okay!" or "Ok."
His favorite play phrase appeared to be: "Be a duck. Be a duck. Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack." He did not quack like a duck but did say the word "Quack" at those times. Then there's "Ut oh!" He usually would make his crying sounds after the Ut Oh but not always.

Kissing sounds, Crying sounds, Laughing, Coughing, small burp/beltch sound if he heard you burp/beltch. ***Important: "Uhn Huhnnn!" (meaning yes) "Un Unnnnn!" (meaning no) He Loved to go back and forth with me making the yes sound and him making that no sound repeatedly And the short and dear "Uhn Hun!" (meaning yes)

In lower, sexy type voice, "Hello baby." And same with, "He's my baby, baby, baby" "I'm a baby, baby, baby." or just, "Baby, baby, baby" ... Those all followed the sexy "Hello, Baby."
Unfortunately, and this made me so angry, many years ago my brother thought it would be fun to hear my feather child Alex curse. It only took a few times of repeating at that One occasion and ... Alex picked it up. Yes, I told my brother off big time after Alex started saying, "Son of a Bi**h!" and "F**k You!" I would NOT even mention what I just did but Alex does use those words when he means it so it is a very important way to identify him. So sorry about that. He does say, "Kenny" sometimes clearly and sometimes is sounds like a drawn out call sounding sort of like this: "Kidddnnnneeeeee! Kidddnnnneeeeee!" There's much more but I do believe I've touched on the most important. Again many thanks to you! Oh, Alex would occasionally say, "Thank You!"

He has "habits" and "routines" that would also identify him if you wish to know and his favorite song is Lullaby of Broadway. He tries to sing but it sounds like a death moan. Oh dear but true. Poor thing. At least he tried and it was beautiful to me.

Alex LOVES to stand on your shoulder. He choses people's right shoulder MOST of the time but there were times that he would go to left shoulder.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Feathers are "scruffy" at the top of both wing 'shoulders?' where his wings meet his body when at his side and not extended.

He did break a leg completely in two when he was about 6 months old or much less. The x-ray looks like a tooth pick broken into two pieces. He healed so well that most people would not notice him standing differently or his "gait" when walking being different. That would need to be pointed out to a lay person. But, any x-rays taken would reveal that past injury and is like a finger print.

Medical Issues: He was perfectly healthy and never sick one day in his life. Some people don't even notice the scruffy feathers at the top of his shoulders that I mentioned but they can very clearly be seen by anyone.

Thank you! Please contact Angel on: 1-813-932-0255 at Graigslist Website
