Sweet Tweet
Our bird isn’t fond of posing for the camera, well, unless it’s the video camera, then she absolutely loves it. She is a quirky little bird who is afraid of her own fluff, but we sure love her. I was just thinking about how she has been with us for our entire marriage. Our first pet together. Yes, I had a ferret when we got married, but he was mine for 7 years before my husband even came into my life. Our bird became ours just months after our wedding, so she has been through all the moves, the craziness, the fun, and hopefully she’ll be joining us for many more of those years too.
When she is happy she sits on my leg, or the back of my office chair and makes these adorable bird sounds. She also has angry sounds (when we leave the room for example), and at other times we often hear her “practicing” her whistles when she thinks no one is listening. She doesn’t actually whistle like most birds, but she makes the sounds of a whistle. It’s hard to explain, and has yet to be captured on video.
She loves to eat millet, sunflower seeds, and oat groats. She doesn’t like any fresh fruits or veggies because they are scary. Books on the other hand are not scary at all, and are considered quiet tasty. Yes indeed, our bird is a funny bird.

I’m fascinated and scared of birds all at the same time! I know more and more people who have birds as pets though!
Erin, I have met a lot of people who are scared of birds too. I always wonder if they watched the movie “The Birds” or something. LOL.
She’s beautiful! What’s her name? =)
We used to have a ‘tiel, and it was a love-hate relationship. She was such a smart bird, but I never quite got used to waking up at 6 am, when she did — and of course, if the sun was coming up, she *had* to sing about it.
LOL, our bird rarely makes noise until we get her up in the morning. Sometimes she will make little sounds because she can hear us awake, but when she is under her cage cover she is always a good girl.
