Something Zapdos said made me realize that a thread about our pets is missing from Smashboards.
I guess here we can post pictures of and talk about our pets.
I have had several different species of domesticated animals living in my house over the years. I never had any dogs or cats though.
Currently, I have two cockatiels, a brother and sister named Louie and Pelé. Louie is the black one; Pelé is the white one:
(I'm in the middle.)
I've had Pelé and Louie for about 3 years, now. They're about 9 years old each. I celebrate their birthdays on New Year's Day.
They're pretty cool, I guess. I'm not really attached to either of them. Pelé loves it when I pet her. If I let her out of her cage, she will walk up to either my foot or hand and put her head down to try to guilt me into ruffling the feathers on her neck, like she is in the picture. I don't think she can tell the difference between fingers and toes.
Louie is fiercely defensive. I think the previous owner must have been abusive to him or something because Louie won't let me put my hand near him, although he does enjoy chewing on my hair.
Neither of them talks, but Louie does sing sometimes. They can both fly a bit, but they often run into walls. They love to get to high places, and if I lie on the floor next to them, they will climb up on me using their beaks (it's so cute) to get to the highest point, which is usually my knee. They poop a lot.
Okay, those are my pets. Now it's your turn.
