The Lake Superior Zoo is an amazing place t o see and lean about animals from all over the world. The animal that we highlight this week is a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon Parrot named Korbel. Many generations of visitors have most likely seen Korbel who is the oldest animal at the zoo, a whopping 48 years old.
Korbel is pretty talented like most parrots, they can mimic certain sounds. Korbel will say things like Hi how are you? and can also make bubble sounds. I often joke with my animals by saying I wish you could talk so you could explain to me why you need to go back outside to go to the bathroom when I just let you out 10 minutes ago. But of course my dogs can t talk and not sure If Korbel would be able to answer a question like that anyway.
The Animal Allies Pet Of The Week Is a 10 pound black and white domestic cat who is four years old. She ended up at the shelter because her former owners could no longer care for her. When she first arrived at the shelter Kimby was described as a sour patch kid first being sweet and then being a little sour by hissing at staff and volunteers.
She might initially hiss at you when approached but once you reach your hand out to you and she realizes you are a friend not a foe she will rub up against your hand for pets. Often times especially when an animal is first brought to the shelter they are very scared and not familiar with the staff and volunteers so they may exhibit these types of behaviors. Kimby would be better suited to live in a home without any other animals or kids so she can get all the attention.
