Actually, let's make this a pet bird picture thread. Anyone with pet birds, please post their pictures here. We'll love to see them!
Good idea!

Chris, have you ever tried taming Bonnie? If you haven't, maybe that's the reason she isn't tame.
Oh, yes, remember I`ve had her for eight years! For a very long time after Id had her and intermittently since. She doesnt want to come out, for some birdie reason, and as she is happy and healthy I respect her wishes. When I tell you all she is quiet I dont mean she doesn`t communicate, on the contrary she does that very well! With her different chirrups, shouts and body posture she lets me know when, or whether, she wants her cover on or off; when she wants a treat or a fuss; if there is something or someone she doesn`t like the look of; when and if she wants a bath; when- how to put it- okay, when shes ready to mate and a host of other things too.

I don't think the poor girl was brought out of her cage much at all prior to her coming to live here.
I wonder about Bonnies history too. I know about her being shouted at (and I suspect, stuff was thrown at her too) but other than that nothing, not even her age. I didn`t like the cage she was in either, it was round one and not very big, at least not for a cockatiel. But that was long ago, what was, was, and what is, is, if you know what I mean. LOL.
