Dino is a dusky conure. Born in October 2007, Dino came to live with me February 17, 2008. Difficult to sex, it's hard to know male or female. I say "he" however, it could just as easily be "she". Dino only says a couple of words, but knows the meaning to many. Length is about 10 inches, beak to tip of his tail. And weight of 100 grams.This is a collection of his pictures. They are in chronological order from the oldest to newest.

Clipped wings, but very strong and agile, Dino had no trouble getting where he wanted to go.
He started crawling in my T-shirt quite soon after getting used to me. (Feb/Mar)

Loves to crawl in the sink for a bath. (May)

I brought in a cut limb from the neighbour's for Dino to climb on. (May)

Dino learned quite quickly that food for me, was food for him...

God, I'm cute, aren't I? (Aug)

The results of a landing gone bad! Target was the rim of a mug of a health shake. Feet caught the target, but a little too much speed dunked him head first into the mug's contents. (May)

The ladder's final days (Aug)
