Having this bird in my life is so special. She’s my bestie. We chat all day while I’m working or doing things around the house. She may not be cuddly, but she’s such a good girl. Happy 32nd Birthday Hector!
We are not only celebrating her birthday today, but also the fact that results came back from the test the vet did last week and everything looks good! We are going to continue her “new” diet, and she doesn’t have to go back to the vet for 60 days, and that’s just a quick weight check to make sure she is continuing to do well.
I’m so thankful I found this great Avian vet that is super easy to work with and close to home!
We will be celebrating today with MUSIC – currently playing a bunch of random kids songs, happy birthday songs, the Beatles, and any songs that have whistling, all Hector’s favorites!
She’s having a special breakfast with her normal diet, but some extras of her favorites like sweet potatoes, blueberries, and an extra almond to really celebrate!
This sounds strange but I’ve been aware of Hector for most of my life.
Ambrosia Software released the video game Apeiron which brought so many hours of fun into my home – I’d play it with my parents. I soon developed a keen interest in computers and read so much about Ambrosia software growing up (I was a real nerd), software ended up turning into a profession for me.
Hector features in the video game and I came to learn back then that he was the company mascot. The old Ambrosia website used to have ‘Hector Cam’ where you could see what Hector was up to at any given time of day.
Anyway, thought you might find it interesting to know he’s known all over the world and remembered to this day!
Thanks for this! I’m glad you were able to reconnect with Hector. My husband is also a nerd and we are well aware of Hector’s past. My husband started and owned The Mac Observer up until a couple of years ago. It was the nerd-connection that brought Hector to us in a way. I’m less of a nerd, but a huge fan of Apeiron! You will be happy to know that Hector still serenades us with various video game noises. When she is in the mood that is! She still does things her way and on her terms!
