He’s a cross between an umbrella and a Yellow Crested.
How I acquired him is an interesting story.
He was hand raised as a wee baby by the woman who groomed dogs for me at the store, and spent the first few years of his life on display at the “bird garden” on the Island here – which has since closed down – then sold to a couple who had no idea what they were getting into with a parrot! I got a call from these people one day, asking me if I was interested in buying a parrot. I had no idea that my groomer had raised him, and it was quite a reunion between them when he showed up!
One prank I remember him doing was once at a gas station. I let him out of his little doggie carrier while we got gas and was holding him. When the attendant leaned over to collect my money, Sumo – quick as a wink reached into his shirt pocket, grabbed a 5 dollar bill and threw it into the car beside me and raised his crest in triumph! haha “atta boy Sumo!”
