Beto Is Manville's Pet Of The Week

MANVILLE, NJ — Meet Beto! He has been chosen as Manville Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"My name is Marina and my double yellow-headed Amazon parrot has been with me for 12 years already and a lifetime to go. He is about 19 years old with a life expectancy of 65-plus human years.

My parrot Beto is my joy. He has his own personality and is very authoritative. Beto gets along well with other animals including dogs and rabbits. Beto has lived and visited several states with me including Alaska, Utah, Idaho, California and New Jersey.

Beto was born in Northern New Jersey. He loves to explore his surroundings and love destroying things. A parrot is a lifetime commitment."
