My
name is Peepers. I live with two people that love me very much. I
take a shower with my Dad every morning and I am constantly singing
and whistling. My mom and dad say that I am the joy of their lives. I
am very special because I am very friendly and everyone who meets me
loves me. When mom and dad have to go away for a day they take me to
my grandma's to spend the day with my cousin Tweetie. Tweetie is not as
smart as I am but she is still a baby so I guess it is up to me to
teach her what she needs to do. I have a beautiful cage that they call
my palace. It seems like every day I get new toys. I love my millet
but my second favorite food is anything that my mom and dad are eating
but I only like to eat out of their mouths. Sometimes I think that the
house is mine and my mom and dad live here with me but it is a nice
house! My mom was sick last summer so she was home a lot and I got to
spend so much time with her. At 5:00 my dad comes home. I hear him
before he opens the garage door and I let my mom know so we can greet
him together. I am very special to my family and they are very special
to me.
Peepers is a beautiful yellow and gray cockatiel. He is the joy of our
life. We picked him out of five babies when my husband put his had into
the cage and he jumped on it and sat pruning his beard for 1 hour, we
knew he had to be ours! He takes a shower with his Daddy every
morning. When he come home from work he whistles hello as soon as he
hears the door open. He is a people bird and loves everyone but of
course he has his favorites. He loved his grandma from the first day
he met her. She is constantly bringing him presents. Peepers has three
cages, one that goes in the car when he comes for a ride and one that
is his summer home. When we are in the pool, he insists on sitting
outside with us. If he is not out there he makes a lot of noise.
Sometimes we put his cage on a raft and he just floats around after us
singing away. His home is his castle... truly! It is big enough for
four birds but he doesn't share it! He is very possessive of his bells
and his doorway! As soon as you put your hand in his cage he runs
back. We keep Peepers wings clipped so he doesn't hurt himself. There
are times he really believes he is human and not a bird. Our lives
would be empty without our Baby Peepers.
