The poorly parrot has been having trouble sleeping ever since as he had to balance on one leg all night. [LINK: Read on...]

Where in the world do you find these articles? That is amazing. Poor George. It was nice of those good people to give him such an expensive and rare toy! Hahahahaha!

I'd be shocked if he ever used it lol...looks like a nice chewy to me! hehe

Maybe wearing a collar might help until he gets used to his new leg, otherwise it is a new toy. Interesting article. This qualifies for !

interesting thanks for posting
