Hey there! I’m Gigabyte. If you wonder about my name, I used to hang out with a bunch of computer geeks. The only trouble with computer geeks is they don’t have time to look after a beautiful Blue and Gold Macaw like me. I got used to eating lots of junk food, which seemed good at the time, but it’s not really a good thing if I want to live a long and healthy life. I didn’t know any better then, so I used to get really excited at the sight of the pizza delivery guy.
Here at the Refuge, I’ve been getting a whole range of different foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of different nuts and seeds. I’ve also got lots of friends to hang out with, and a whole lot of different toys – which are much more colourful and exciting than a stack of compact discs, let me tell you! LOL!
The humans at the refuge pay me a lot more attention too, and make sure I have everything I could possibly need to be healthy. Sometimes when they work late though, I see them eating pizza, and I can’t help but shout at them, “Is that REAL FOOD?”
TTYL, Gb.
(Translating Gigabyte’s ‘netspeak: LOL is “laughing out loud” and TTYL is “talk to you later”.)

Ouch Wendy,
Gigabyte always ate well. Junk food? We don’t eat junk food. Pizza is a food group and should be considered as such. ;~).
You have to admit that Gyggers was in excellent condition when we brought her to you. She is probably one of the few brids that you receive that came from a good home but the two-legged people-types wanted even something better for her. It soulds like she is doing well and we are very happy to hear that.
Does she still laugh and say “food, yummy, food”?
Please give us some feedback and let us know how she is doing. Also, Elva says she is not a computer geek. She is only guilty by association.
It is terrific seeing her so prominant on your website. Vary cool.
tim and elva
i am happy to hear that you are being well looked after now and hope you have a good life Gigabyte xxx
