Klaus was named on a continuing "Beatle" Theme after bassist and artist Klaus Voorman-whio the Beatles met in Hamburg days.
When he came to us to be honest he was ill and in a state. The pet shop had a couple of big snakes and the high temperature by a drafty door didn't suite Klaus (Pete, Stuart and Billy Zed).
After touch and go he got his feathers back and started his very recognisable honking churp.
Then he got his foot caught in a toy. i found him dangling (birds will like other animals rip a limb off to get free) but i caught him early( he was in another room)all in our lounge now). After a couple of weeks limping on the floor of the catch with a very caring Pete accompanying him he got better and although had some shaky up and down days , i was suprised when Paula came to me a couple of sundays ago to say he had left for Heaven.
We were very sad and buried him with our other bird -friends under our favourite climatis ...which duly flowered beautifully.
Paula wrote and read a poem for him. RIP Klaus -we miss you and your honking churp. A friend indeed! May 2007.
