Chico and CeCe
Chico, our companion greenwing macaw, as a youngster
and his little friend, CeCe, an umbrella cockatoo.
They grew up with each other and became the best
of friends. They are seen here and in the following
images at 6 months of age

Chico's gentle preening
CeCe returning the favor to Chico and grooming
the top of his head
"Oh, do it over here!"
Chico in bliss
