Hi, my name is Foto Cinema Kittrell. I am a 4 year old African Grey Parrot. I was re-homed to Monet Kittrell from my previous parents. My former mother had lost here eye sight in the right eye and 80% in left eye. So she could no longer take care of me, I was really sad because I loved her so much.

I ended up moving from TN to NY and now I live around Times Square! Oh yeah, my new parent is a photographer, hence my name! He often takes me to shoots like the time we went to the Elle magazine photo session. It was really fun and I got to fly around a big studio!

I really love to eat. The fruits I like are lychees, apples, and melons. I also have a taste for sushi, pasta dishes, and dry foods like seeds and grains. I really love movies, particularly 'Speedracer', 'Madagascar', 'Robots' and 'Tarzan'. I can't get enough of those flicks. Some of my other favorite activities are riding my remote controlled toys like my boat and monster truck.

Like most Greys, I talk alot -- what can I say? It's our nature. Some of the things I say are 'Hello', 'Click Click!' and 'Say Cheese'. I am currently learning to speaK French. Au revoir et à la prochaine!
