This is Gilligan the Kakariki. Gilligan is about 11 months now. He keeps me company at my office. Kakarikis are extremely playful birds. They don't seem to be as confiding as other parrots, but we love him just the same. See Gillian Willis's article on Kaks at www.exoticbird.com/gillian/kakarikis.html.
