Yup, thats me with my
mommy! Ain't I a cutie? I am a 6 year old female Red-Masked
(a.k.a Cherry Headed) Conure. I adopted my mom one day when
I saw her at this pet shop that I was staying at. You see, my previous
owners decided to sell me so that I could have a new family. They
were remodeling their house and they put me in their basement so that I
wouldn't have to be around paint fumes and saw dust. They knew that
neglecting me was wrong and they decided to sell me to a pet shop so that
a new family could come along and play with me. I think they made
a good desicion because it is better to give me to someone who could take
care of me than to keep me all stuck down in some icky basement.
Anyhow, my mom saw me and I did the ol' Jedi Bird trick to her. If
you've ever seen Star Wars then ya know what I am talking about.
There's this one part where you get to meet Obi Wan Kanobi's pet bird.
I'm sure you remember the scene where Obi Wan Kenobird played that mind
trick on the Bird Troopers? Well thats what I did to my mommie, I
said to her "You will take me home." and mindlessly she said "I will
take you home." (Shhhh! Don't tell her that I played the Jedi
Bird trick on her, okay?) The next thing I knew I was nice and comfy
cozy in my new home.
Here I am posing again.
I swear I should be in BQ (Bird Quarterly). My favorite thing to
do is to read magazines with my mommy, and then when she's not looking
I like to tear 'em up too! I don't know why she gets so mad, it's
not like the article was very interesting anyway! I also like toys!
My mom says that I am going to make her go broke because I go through toys
like they are going out of style. I just love tearing my toys to
shreds and beating them to a pulp. Doesn't she know that's what birds
do best? I like to talk, too. I can type better though, as
you can see here. I can say words like: Pickles!, Pickle Wiggle!
(That's my famous dance!), What?, Alright!, Okay!, C'mere Pickles, and
I love you, Pickles. I also like to dance to the music of the Beatles.
My mom says I have good taste in music. Wanna learn how to do the
Pickle Wiggle? Well, all ya gotta do is flap your wings in the air,
bounce up and down, and then shake your tail feathers.

I'm not the only member
of my family. I have a brother named Baby. Baby is a white-faced
cockatiel. Baby is still real young yet, so I am teaching him all
kinds of bad habits like screeching at the tops of your lungs when you
want some attention. Baby is teaching me some new whistles, too.
I also have 10 brothers and sisters that are the weirdest looking birds
you have EVER seen! They are called guinea pigs. Must be a
new species of birds. They have the softest feathers I have ever
felt! They also make weird bird noises too. Instead of saying
"chirping" they "wheep". I also dont know how they fly, but they
are pretty fast when they run. I have another brother named Pepper.
He's real big. He's called a dalmation bird. (Another one of
them new species, too, I guess.) He is white with black spots and
also makes weird bird noises. He say's "woof" and he's teaching me
how to say it. Well, I guess that is all for now. I hope you
enjoyed learning about me and my family.
