Remembering an Old Friend

Friends come and go out of your life. There is a poem I'm reminded of about friends.

Make new friends,

but keep the old.

One is silver,

the other is gold.

Some friends come into your life that you never really meet, but you immediately have a strong connection to them. That's the way if was with Alex, the African Grey. I never met Alex, but he had a solid influence in my life. He was a very smart parrot and although he is now gone from this earth, he still remains Golden in my heart and in the hearts of others.

September 7th 2012 will be the 5th Anniversary of his passing. To commemorate a DVD will be released.

"Life with Alex: A Memoir" will be available for sale this fall at www.LifeWithAlexMovie.com.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Alex Foundation.

About Me

I am Einstein the Talking Texan Parrot, an African Grey Parrot. People seem to love talking parrots, and I LOVE to talk and entertain! I like to teach others about how to take care of their parrots and how to interact with their parrots. I make lots of talking videos that show how I like to perch on various "parrot approved areas" in my home, such as the kitchen drawer, the shower, kitchen chairs, napkin holders, and my play perches! I was hatched in June of 1997 and I live with Marcia and Jeff in a place called Texas!

Visit me at www.einsteinparrot.com but please don't mistake me for the other "Einstein" that was featured on the TV show Animal Planet Pet Stars. That parrot lives at the Knoxville, TN Zoo, and does daily bird shows. The only things we have in common are our name, good looks, and the desire to entertain humans! Check me out! I get around on the internet! You can find me on my Website, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, My Blog, & Pinterest.

Owning and raising a parrot is a serious decision and not one to take lightly. Parrots are not like a dog and cat. They require much devotion. They are messy, noisy, and expensive. They are like having a 2 year old child for the rest of your life!
