This is Pepper, a very old Grey-cheeked parakeet in his 20’s. His owner, Alexandria, took this shot outdoors. Pepper loves being outside- Alexandria says it looks he’s praying not to be taken back inside!
Thanks to man’s mishandling, these birds are very difficult to get as pets, and are endangered in their natural environment.
