I have a cockatiel, Buttons. I got him in November, so I haven't had him for that long. He is just the sweetest thing in the world, he loves to cuddle and will fall asleep on your shoulder, but when he isn't tired he loves to play! He especially likes shiny things. Cockatiels are great, they all have different personailities. Buttons is really loud, he wakes me up inthe morning if his cage isn't 100% covered. But how do you get mad at the sweet little face, even if its 5:00 in the morning?

Good luck on getting a bird! They are great pets!
