00:00The bath only takes him a few seconds, and then he just waits for me.

00:10He grooms me, takes my hair, and he just plays with it.

00:18I'm not allowed to be in there without him.

00:22One day he just jumped into the bath with me.

00:25It just became an obsession.

00:27It was definitely his big moment.

00:32I'm just going to waddle around where you're actually going to have a bath, because I want

00:42to know if you're wasting my time.

00:43If he doesn't want to get in, he still has to be in the bathroom.

00:51I've had Yoshi for about three years now.

00:54He was given to me by a friend who needed some respite.

00:58He was very scared.

01:00His wings were really badly chopped.

01:02For Yoshi to fly, it was going to take some time.

01:05I'm going to run a bath, okay?

01:10Let's see how long it takes you.

01:13Bath time!

01:16Yoshi's like a glue stick.

01:23He's just on me constantly.

01:28I work from home.

01:31At some point during my shift, Yoshi has managed to wedge himself somewhere.

01:37If I'm washing up, Yoshi is on my shoulder.

01:41Definitely never lonely.

01:44I'll be back in two seconds.

01:46Wait there!

01:47Oh my god.

01:48Yoshi!

01:49He's managed to wedge himself somewhere.

01:52If I am washing up, it is Yoshi is on my shoulder.

01:57Definitely never lonely.

01:58I'll be back in two seconds, you wait there, alright?

02:04We call him my green shadow.

02:10I had no idea that a quaker parrot purred like a cat.

02:14I was googling whatever I could find, saw that it meant that they were content and had

02:19been happy.

02:22Quaker parrots can live around 30 years.

02:25I am very nearly 30 years old.

02:29I just quietly live my own life and all of a sudden I was just given this green winged

02:36best friend.

02:43If I could go back and change anything, I wouldn't.

02:46I'd do it exactly the same.
