Meet Wally

Wally is our one-year-old Greenwing Macaw. He loves going on walks with me and always draws a crowd. Because of that, I’ve met so many interesting people I might never have talked to if they hadn’t stopped to say hello to him.

Wally's favorite treats are pistachios and I always keep some in my pocket when we are out.

He likes to fly around our house, and watch sunrises from his bedroom window.

His favorite words to say are Hello and his name, Wally. he also laughs at his own jokes and whistles when he is excited.

About Me

I live in Nokomis Florida with my wife, two daughters and our macaw. I am a writer and I love to learn about people and share their stories in a creative way.
