Curly: Perhaps Plexy, who inherited Ricky's estate, will go to the store and get another companion, I'm a dog person and have lost and "put down" several dogs. And I know that the only cure is to go and get another one. I've always wanted an African Gray parrot but they are far too expensive. I have a friend who owns a macaw and it's going to live to around age 95. A very aggressive bird, attacks big dogs. Its name is Elvis but it is probably female like Michael Jackson since it lays eggs unexpectedly.
