Sadie The Service Parrot
October 04, 2006 — Filed in: Parrot News
We had a most pleasant conversation recently with Jim Eggers, who was eager to tout the virtues of the Congo African Gray parrot as service animal.
Before he met Sadie, the 40-year-old Maplewood resident says, he mostly associated the concept of “service animals” with dogs. But in fact, the Americans with Disabilities Act contains an intentionally broad definition of the term: “any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.”
