YOu've had a lot of losses. My condolences. I'm glad you have Cookie for comfort and some joy and laughter.

Cookie sounds like my Mr Tweets. He doesn't like hands, but will sing to a sock puppet or feet in socks.

Rico Quaker does songs Samson cockatiel used to do. I think Rico misses Following Samson around.

I love your Cookie bird. He sounds so delightful and adorable!


Thank you for the compliment on the background. I haven't changed it lately. Everyone seems to like the spring theme!



I still have 8 birds. Rico Quaker, who is 25. Solomon Cockatiel who is over 33 years. Rainbow , my girl tiel who is in her 20's, Riley and Tweets, cockatiel pals, who are in their 20's. Then 3 budgies, Meadow, Snowflake and Summerboy. Snowflake and Summerboy are over a year old, and Meadow's age is unknown.

They are a handful. But they are a joy, too. I'm not getting more birds. I wouldn't have budgies, except a friend thought they'd be a good birthday present. I couldn't refuse, but oh my! I love them, yes I do! But no more. At my age, I want to wind down, so I don't leave any birdies without a parront.
