Luigi was frightened of us during the 3 hour car ride home from the breeders. He spent half of the trip in the corner of his travel cage, which you can see in this picture. He growled at us (yes, parrots growl!! ) We were worried at this point, and asked eachother, "what did we get ourselves into?!" But, he eventually warmed up to us and rode the second half of the trip on Lauren's lap.
