Beau is an African Grey. He has pink feathers he was supposed to outgrow, but hasn't, and that makes him special. He has no vitamin deficiencies causing the color variation.

Beau was previously owned by an Oakland Raiders Fan^TM. He didn't talk (I probably wouldn't either... you know how men are in front of a football game), and was all kinds of trouble apparently. Granted, he can go through more wood than a green-winged macaw, but theoretically that's normal (as long as the wood in question isn't your staircase.)

In actuality, he never shuts up. He has a marvelous repertoire of whistles, belches and farts, and the sound of a beer can opening. He talks to the dog, talks to the cat, and anyone who walks by. Today's winner... he hawked up and spat. Obnoxiously. Unfortunately, I laughed, so I've now been listening to the hawking and spitting all morning.
