About Jamie Skeie

Jamie Skeie was born in Iowa City, Iowa, on May 19, 1980. After graduating high school, Jamie moved to New York City and became a SAG-AFTRA actor. He lived in New York City for five years while working in film, TV, commercials, theatre, and modeling. On September 11, 2001, Jamie was a 9/11 first responder at ground zero at the World Trade Center. His heart will always go out to the families of the victims of this terrible tragedy. To help cope, Jamie got an African Grey Congo parrot, whom he named after the constellation, Orion's Belt. Jamie soon invented a product called The Adventure Pack Bird Carrier™. This product benefits parrots and their owners by allowing them to safely travel with their parrot. As the business grew, Jamie moved to Los Angeles to continue developing and distributing pet products. Later, he continued to pursue his acting career in Los Angeles. Having children of his own, he was inspired to write children's books. Jamie published his first children's book, Orion the Star: The Pink Dolphin, in 2019. This book is the first in the series called Orion the Star. This series features an African Grey superstar parrot, who flies from the stars to save all creatures in distress. Two faithful sidekicks, dogs named Canis Major and Canis Minor, follow along to assist Orion in the rescues. The second book in the series is called The Purple Purse Merman. Jamie and Orion now reside in the Las Vegas area, where he continues to write and publish books.

$2.99

If Dogs Could Talk was inspired by a real living parrot, named Orion. Orion is an African Grey Congo parrot. She has lived with the author since she was three months old. She was 17 years old during the last year of having her words documented. Some things will be offensive to people. When you're reading her words..please don't take anything personally.

The author, Jamie Skeie, created a children's book series about Orion also. It's called Orion the Star. She is featured in this book series as the superhero parrot, who flies from Orion's Belt, to save all creatures in distress. The first books in the series are called The Pink Dolphin and The Purple Purse Merman.

Orion learns new sentences every day. This book was created to help other pet owners...know what their pets might be thinking! Animals are smarter than some people realize. After reading, If Dogs Could Talk, you'll feel closer to your loved ones. You'll know what your pets would say..if they could talk!

Orion has learned how to speak, without being given treats. She has learned naturally. Just like if you were to move to another country...and pick up on the language, from living there. This book proves an African Grey's intelligence..is the same as their age, in comparison to a human's age, and intelligence. Orion, at 17 years old, demonstrates the same cognitive, and speaking abilities as humans, the same age. And, she's more intelligent than most teenagers!
