Marty & Keoke are our fine feathered friends.  Marty loves to squawk and talk, so do not be surprised!  He loves the attention, but often clams up when his cage is surrounded with people.  Walk away, and he is known to say “Hello”, “I love you”, “What’s up”, “Bye Bye” and more.  Keoke is very smart and loves to imitate.  His repertoire is quieter but it includes “Good Morning”, “Goodnight”, employee laughs, sneezes, and various construction noises, etc.  Something new everyday!
