African Grey "Marcus" - A devoted bird

"Marcus & I met when I was 15 and he was 4, and he was returned to the pet store I was working at by his first owners. We had an instant connection and while Marcus bit anyone else that tried to touch him, he would step up for me and sit on my shoulder and dance and preen my face while I swept up the store every night after closing. Nineteen years later, we are still together and much to my wife's chagrin, I'm still the only one he steps up for and dances for." ... Chadd B.
