Back in 1990, when I was twelve years old, my parents purchased a cockatiel for me.
He passed away in 2003, sadly.
He was a cute little guy! He loved copying words and songs. It was wild that that little, tiny brain of his could remember all of those songs and words.
All these years later, I still miss the little guy. I always will.
How about you? If you have pets, are they cockatiels, by any chance?

I love having cats, but they don't usually travel well, and that matters at this point in life. Hubby has also made it clear he doesn't want a cat right now, maybe not ever again.
Frogs have made their way into our family, despite his anti-pet position. They've won him over, perhaps only because they are the lesser of the other pets he can imagine me raising. They travel easily, too.
They're not as cuddley as the kitties, but they have their charms. Lately, they call for attention by trilling. They like to trill to hubby's voice, too. It must be a guy thing, because it's the male frogs that trill. It amuses me when hubby's on a call for work and the frogs decide to talk, too. We sometimes have four or five of them that trill together.
