80 Years!
Did you know that African Grey parrots live up to 80 years and can learn a vocabulary of 1,000 words? Did you know they can speak in complete sentences and use them in the correct context?
Did you know that Jenna and I just got one?
Her name is Traci, and she’s still a baby, but in about a year, they tell us she just won’t shut up ever!
Here she is:
And here is the cat waiting patiently for Traci to fall off her perch (and Traci’s multi-million dollar penthouse cage).

Haha, your life is now complete…Heather and I decided you’re officially domesticated when you have a significant other, a fireplace, and a pet. As a side note, Heather and I just got a hamster…and a fireplace…
