It's been a LONG and winding road by Moe and Zeus

This post is compliments of Moe, Congo African Grey...

Hi, this is Moe... It all began back in May 2010 - Zeus and 1 were hatched. We are Californians by birth. When we were VERY young we went to live with Elena and Jeremy. There were 3 of us - me, Zeus, and another cousin they called Silverback who was the youngest.


Silverback was the first to be adopted by very nice lady; her name is Denise. The second one of us to be adopted was Zeus - he went to a nice home too but things didn't turn out so good for Zeus. Due to unforeseen circumstances Zeus returned to Beaker's and rejoined the flock. On the day we were reunited and Zeus and I saw each other again after a couple of months - we actually did a happy dance with beaking and bobbing and all that. We knew then and there that we should be buddies for life.... little did we know then we would be buddies for life.

Jeremy put us together in a large 40" x 30" dome top cage
and we were happy as can be (take a look at the picture). It was then that Jeremy decided that IF the right family came along, who wanted to love us and adopt us as part of their family, he would be willing to sing the "Happy Trails" song to us.

Well guess what??? That day came and we met Wayne, Audrey and the kids.... WOW!!!! it was great, and they thought so too because we are now part of their family. Take a look at the cool pictures Elena took last Saturday when the family came to take us home. Zeus and I now have 3 new brothers (not shown in the pictures - Eduardo (the oldest - like me), Matthew and Elijah. With so many guys in the family now we hope that Audrey can handle all that testosterone!

WE ARE SO HAPPY!!!!! We know that Jeremy was a little sad when we left but we promise to have Wayne and Audrey bring us back for visits - we need to get our nails and wings trimmed in occasion. Thanks for giving us such a great start Jeremy (and Elena) we'll be in touch.





2 lucky guys!,

Moe (and Zeus)
