PeriwinklePERIWINKLE, or “Perry” to those who know him best, is a Lovebird who loves none other than to groom his owner’s hair and eyelashes. But no worries; he’s never bitten his mom, Janice Adams, which she said is a rare thing for a bird. More than anything, this little guy — who Adams has owned for 11 years — is quite content sitting on his mom’s shoulder and cuddling. He is a Lovebird after all. Of course, sometimes Perry has to settle for the back of this sofa when mom’s shoulder isn’t available. He doesn’t mind though. Rumor has it every breeder who sees Perry blabs on and on about his colorful marking. So, shoulder or not, Perry told the News-Press, “I’ve still got it.” Then he ask us if we wanted a cracker.
