About Shubi

You may be wondering, who is Shubi? Kat and Jeff Joyce purchased a parakeet after one of our pomeranians ate the one we had. When we brought him home, in the car, he was bobbing his head to the music, so Kat named him Shubi. We spent several months trying to get him to talk, but to no avail. We had a friends young daughter staying with us for the summer, and she spent every day talking to him. One day just before she went back home, Shubi started saying a couple of words over and over. Shortly thereafter his vocabulary started increasing at a phenominal rate and we began to realize that we had a special birdie. He began to put sentences together. At first they were incoherent, but then they started to make sense. Shubi has given us years of non-stop entertainment as well as making others laugh. He truly is special, and amazing.

False alarm

Kat and I went to see if we could capture Shubi. When we arrived, however, it was not Shubi. It was a much smaller parakeet with a band on his leg. We will keep up the search.

Shubi missing

As of July 3rd Shubi is missing. He was in his cage outside and the cage fell apart and he flew up in a tree. The next morning he was gone. The neighborhood was scoured and an ad was placed in the Waitsburg Washington newspaper. Friday the 13th a citizen of Walla Walla Washington, about 40 miles away, was reading the paper and she called saying "I've seen that bird feeding at my bird feeder". Gail rushed down to check out the situation and wait for the Amazing Shubi. We are waiting for news as this is being written.
