It's been five years since I last posted on this topic, so please indulge me. I'd like to give a shout-out to my able avian assistant, Pascal the African Grey Parrot, who joined our household 30 years ago today. Although her bird-call repertoire is disappointing and her ID skills are only so-so, her ability to spot raptors is superb. She's enabled me to see many hawks and vultures that I otherwise would have missed, and often points out unusual birds in our yard. All she asks in return is unlimited treats and total obedience!
