On this Valentine's day, let's not only remember the people we love, but also our feathered companions. Somehow these little beaked monsters have captivated us and kept us under cupid's spell. They can rip up your keyboard one moment and then be cuddling on your neck the next. There's something so irresistible about them and we love them.

Happy Valentine's Day from Trained Parrot Blog, The Parrot Forum, and the Parrot Wizard. Feel free to share this Valentine's Day Parrot Cartoon with the birds, owners of birds, and people you love.

African American Parrots

Truman the Cape Parrot reflects about his African ancestry on Martin Luther King Jr Day. African Greys, Lovebirds, Vasa Parrots, and all the Poicephalus originated in Africa. Kili is a Senegal Parrot with ancestry most likely originating from portions of West Africa. Although other subspecies of Cape Parrots span distant portions of Africa, the Brown-Necked subspecies of Cape Parrot is also from the same region of Africa as Senegal Parrots. Kili and Truman wish everyone an enjoyable holiday.

My ancestors were kidnapped in their African homeland and brought to this country and held in captivity. And so we became African-Americans! We shall overcome!

Kili and Truman are eagerly awaiting Christmas. They already helped put up the Christmas tree and are now putting up their stockings. While Kili looks forward to tasty treats, Truman generally prefers to get chewy toys.

What about your parrots? Have they been naughty or nice this year? What do you think they'd want Santa to bring them? Please leave a comment below.

I am having a collection of parrot graphics created for my website and content. I wanted to share some of the latest graphics with you as well as Truman's movie trailer. There will be many more articles and videos coming soon so check back frequently. You can subscribe to the blog to receive a notification immediately when new articles are released by adding your email in the green box in the left hand column.



Truman now has his own cartoon character, check him out:

Cape Parrot on Stage
Truman the Performing Cape Parrot

Pirate Cape Parrot
Truman the Pillaging Pirate Cape Parrot

Caped Cape Super Parrot
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Truman the Caped Cape Parrot


Follow the trained parrots Kili and Truman on Facebook. I will be posting status updates, brief stories, and testing out new content on there first. If you haven't already, press "like" on the parrot's facebook page so you can get the first scoop on what's happening with the performing parrot duo.

I still have not come up with the perfect cartoon character for Kili. You can see the Kili ballerina graphic near her concise profile in the left hand column. I'm not sure it is the best representation of her. Kili would bite the heck out of me if I dared try to dress her up in a tutu like that. Truman the Caped Cape Parrot just clicks as the right character for him both as a play on the name and his personality. I welcome you to submit your ideas for a Kili character in the comments.
