SAM, THE UMBRELLA COCKATOO, WAS GIVEN UP AFTER HIS SCREAMING BECAME AN ISSUE IN HIS PRESENT HOME. HE IS MUCH LOVED BY HIS OWNERS, BUT SINCE THEY WERE LIVING IN AN APARTMENT, THE NEIGHBORS WEREN'T TOO HAPPY WITH HIS VOCAL TALENTS. SAM WAS PLACED ONCE, BUT DUE HIS SCREAMING, THAT PLACEMENT ONLY LASTED A WEEK. SINCE HE'S BEEN AMONGST THE OTHER FLOCK, HIS SCREAMING HAS ALL BUT CEASED, EXCEPT FOR A FEW WORDS NOW AND THEN. BUT I WILL NOT PLACE HIM SINCE HE IS COMFORTABLE IN HIS NEW SURROUNDINGS, AND I WOULD NOT WANT HIM TO GO THRU THE TRAUMA OF BEING UPROOTED FROM YET ANOTHER HOME. THIS WAY I CAN ALSO GIVE FREQUENT REPORTS TO HIS MOM & DAD, WHO STILL LOVE HIM SO DEARLY.
