What a neat thread! All of your birds are just gorgeous and I kinda want one now...I''ll have to do some research and see what I can find out! They seem so entertaining! Anyway, I wanted to post about a bird that a coworker has. She raised this one from a baby and has taught him TONS of things to say but the best is that when someone asks him "Can you talk?" his reply is "I can talk, can you fly?".

How funny is that? Love it!

Pieface, your rose breasted cockatoo is beautiful! Do you live in the US? They are fairly rare birds here. I''ve seen them at shows. He looks so pretty and smart too.

Here is our little parakeet. It''s hard to catch him not moving. Always on the go. He sings a lot, and minics what he hears. Once my husband came home and thought he heard the dog next door barking. But it was our little keet, minicing the bark. When we rattle foil, he makes a scratching sound. He loves to sing to music. He and Paul Potts make a terrific duet.

Hi Beacon,

I live in Australia so the birds I have are native. Go to any local park near us and you will see cockatoo''s of various types depending on the time of day. We mainly have the mid sized to larger birds though. The cocktiels are over on the North East coast and I am South-West.

A large flock of corella''s (not sure what you would call these in the states?? ) use a local shopping centre as their roost. It can be deafening to shop there when they all come in to roost in the evening. Funny how the familiar seems so hum-drum to the locals haha!

Pieface, what a beautiful galah!!! I used to work at a pet store when I was younger and I was in love with one they had there named Rosie. She would coo and make the cutest noises, and everybody wanted her.

Catmom, I love your umbrella!!! At the same pet store as above we had an umbrella cockatoo that I used to walk around the shop with perched on my shoulder. He was the sweetest bird and I cried when they sold him, I loved him so much!!

Pieface how really cool to see flocks of wild cockatoos around where you live. That idea is totally remarkable to me. Those Rose Breasted Cockatoos, or Galahs as sometimes called, are infrequently seen here and when for sale are costly. To see them flying wild is something I would really enjoy.

I am a total bird lover and do volunteer work for bird charities too.

Flygirl, I love the photo of the cutie pie blue budgie. What a character he is!
