Hello, hello... I continue introducing you to the members of my family. Previously I have told you about the pets we have at home, and I have been introducing them to you through pictures... many of you already know that we almost have a zoo here hahaha, well today is the turn to tell you about Pepe, the macaw.
Hola, hola... sigo presentándoles a los miembros de mi familia. Anteriormente les he contado de las mascotas que tenemos en casa, y he ido presentándoselas a través de fotografías... muchos ya saben que casi tenemos un zoológico aquí jajajaja, bueno hoy es el turno de hablarles de Pepe, el guacamayo.
Pepe came into our lives when he was still small, his former owners were moving to another country and not being able to take him with them, they left him in our care, it's been about 4 or 5 years since then.
Pepe llegó a nuestras vidas estando aún pequeño, sus antiguos dueños se estaban mudando a otro país y al no poder llevarlo con ellos, lo dejaron a nuestro cuidado, de eso han pasado unos 4 ó 5 años.
When he arrived he was already used to be inside his cage, we wanted him to be raised outside of it so he could interact with Pacco, a parrot we had by then and he was all over the house, but Pepe, fearful maybe because we had dogs in the house, always preferred to be in the cage.
Cuando llegó ya estaba acostumbrado a estar dentro de su jaula, quisimos que se criara fuera de ella para que compartiera con Pacco, un loro que teníamos para entonces y que andaba por toda la casa, pero Pepe, temeroso quizá porque teníamos perros en la casa, siempre prefirió estar en la jaula.
Since then, and to this day, the door of his cage remains open, however, he only trusts to go out when it is with my husband. When he wants to go out he calls him non-stop: "daddy, daddy"; then "daddy" already knows that Pepe wants to sunbathe, bathe under the water jet, or what is very common, bathe in the rain. Yes, that's right, every time it rains my husband knows that he has to get wet for a while because Pepe loves to bathe in the rain. I hope soon to be able to take pictures of this magical moment for Pepe, he enjoys it very much.
Desde entonces, y hasta el día de hoy, la puerta de su jaula permanece abierta, sin embargo, él solo confía en salir cuando es con mi esposo. Cuando quiere salir lo llama sin parar: “papá, papá”; entonces ya “papá” sabe que Pepe quiere tomar el sol, bañarse debajo del chorro de agua, o lo que es muy común, bañarse bajo la lluvia. Si, así es, cada vez que llueve mi esposo sabe que se debe mojar un rato, porque Pepe ama bañarse bajo la lluvia. Espero pronto poder tomar fotografías de ese momento mágico para él, lo disfruta muchísimo.
I always say that he is very selective because he talks a lot, says a lot of words, sings, dances, whistles, spends time whispering with my husband or my children, but he ignores me completely when I talk to him hahaha.
Today when I wanted to photograph him, I tried to bribe him with food so he would trust me and come out of his cage, but no, once again he ignored me, in fact, he even made fun of me, he has such a mocking and outrageous laugh, as contagious hahaha.
Yo siempre digo que él es muy selectivo, porque habla mucho, dice muchas palabras, canta, baila, silba, pasa rato cuchicheando con mi esposo o con mis hijos, pero a mí me ignora por completo cuando le hablo jajajaja
Hoy que quise fotografiarlo, intenté sobornarlo con comida para que confiara en mi y saliese de su jaula, pero no, una vez más me ignoró, de hecho, hasta se burló de mi, tiene una risa tan burlona y escandalosa, como contagiosa jajaja
My children say that Pepe is the official alarm of the house because he starts singing and whistling so loudly at 6:00 a.m. that he wakes us all up.
Mis hijos dicen que Pepe es la alarma oficial de la casa, porque puntualmente a las 6:00 a.m. empieza a cantar y a silbar tan fuerte que nos despierta a todos.
Beautiful, right?
