Charlie is a Congo African Grey.

Charlie is an interesting bird. I've had him for eight years. I know nothing of his previous life. I don't think he was cared for that well because he won't let me touch him, except his head for scratches. He loves being out of the cage and enjoys walking around the house. He prefers only me to scratch his head. He whistles, talks, and makes sounds.
