One of my favorite areas of the zoo is the aviary. My family used to have a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon parrot named Toby when I was a kid. Even though the average life span for a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon is fifty years or more, we lost Toby when she was about 4 or 5 to a tumor. It was really sad because she was part of the family. She would even say “I love you.” The parrots always remind me of her. They have such neat personalities and funny mannerisms. Micah was so fascinated by the birds. He stared in awe the whole time.
