Say hello to Harley. Harley, a White Capped Pionus Parrot, is the number one attraction at Jewelry Repair Services of Midlothian in Midlothian, Virginia. Yes, he can talk, but Harley only talks to people who bring him fast food. He will tell people he loves them for French fries. Thomas Glover is Harley’s human. His sister found Harley eating acorns on her back porch in 2015. She walked out, he flew to her, and Thomas had a new employee. They’ve had parrots in the shop since they opened in 1993. Harley has a knack for finding money – then chewing on it. Thomas has had many strange looks at the bank depositing shredded cash. Visitors always ask, “Where is the bird?” He’s not confined in a cage so you never know when he’ll show up or what he might do next.
