My
cockatiel, Bubba, is my best friend (next to my husband of
course). I purchased Bubba when he was only thirteen weeks old. I
think he has quite a personality. He whistles his version of
"Tequila," does a cardinal call, can mimic a human
sneeze(achoo), and of course, a wolf whistle. He says "Scratch,
scratch Bubba bird" and when he wants attention, he climbs down
to the bottom of his cage and calls "Bubba" repeatedly
while pulling up his paper through the grate. He plays a game with
this. He will go down to the bottom of his cage, pull the paper up
then do his "frantic" call. When I enter the room, all is
quiet and Bubba is hiding under the paper. I'll ask out loud,
"Where is that Bubba bird?" He will be totally quiet with
his tail sticking out from the paper. I then put my hand in his cage
and he runs out from under the paper to "get" me. He is so
much fun to be around.
Bubba eats dinner with my husband and I and our pionus parrot,
Syd.
Bubba eats most everything. His favorites are pasta, mashed potatoes,
15-bean soup and scrambled eggs. He is very hearty and healthy. He
loves to take a shower every weekend with me but is not too fond of
being blown dried. Hands down I would have to say, cockatiels are
probably the best pet bird. They have all the personality of a big
bird in a little package! Come
