Meet Kiwi

The newest member of our family is an almost 7 month old green-cheeked conure parrot. Kiwi is full of personality and loves to play, cuddle and explore. We're learning that it's a little bit like having a toddler in the house again; it's been a sweet opportunity for all of us to care for Kiwi and enjoy the company of a pet in the house. Conures have a 20-30 year lifespan, so we expect Kiwi to be a rather permanent member of the family.
