Marnie’s owner got the little bird in 2006 when he was just six weeks old. She hand-fed him for those first few weeks, and she helped socialize him.

Soon, the parrot was happily hanging with his owner’s other birds, including a Macaw named Scar, a Cockatiel named Mr. Pretty Bird, and a Congo African Gray parrot named Chessa.

Marnie also loved stuffed animals, and especially stuffed rabbits.

Marnie’s owner says that Marnie got his first rabbit on Easter, just a couple weeks after she adopted him. The rabbit says ‘this bunny loves you’ in a high voice when you squeeze it, and Marnie started imitating that voice. He also watched his owner speak, and he would imitate her too—even when he was a baby, Marnie loved talking and did it any chance he got!
