This wee shop was great. It sells lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, all grown on Maui. We originally stopped in past because Alan was on the hunt for another coconut to drink from...
...but we were sidetracked by this wee cutie...
This is Kehau and he lives on the porch outside Take Home Maui. I'm always drawn to parrots, especially African Greys as I had one as a pet when I was small. Freddy originally belonged to my granda but he became too frail to look after him properly and so my folks took on the challenge. It's not that Freddy was a difficult pet to keep, but he was quite particular about who he liked. He was definitely dad's boy! Unfortunately Freddy died suddenly and left us all heartbroken. He had lived to a very healthy age of 47! People are often surprised when I tell them this as they don't expect parrots to live for that long.
This beautiful lad seemed to be everyone's friend and even let me give him a wee scratch on the head. I'm desperate to have one again!
