I thought this was a fun idea!

Heres how it goes, if you're interested:

1.) post a picture of your parrot
2.) give me a description of them, and a couple personality traits. (example: "This is [NAME]. He is a [AGE] year old [SPECIES] who is [PERSONALITY TRAIT1] [TRAIT2}, and loves/hates [?] and [?]."
3.) I draw a cartoon based on your parrots and their traits, and post it!

:yellow1: Thanks! :white1:

But he loves to get kisses and is starting to become a very big talker. He also loves apples and corn. He hate when you touch his tail and when you try to pat him though the cage.

Aw, what a cool idea!

This is Boo.... he is my 7 year old male cockatiel. He LOVEs to do the wolf-whistle/cat call whistle, eat, fly around the living room and do different calls. But his signature chirp has to be the cat call whistle, he will do it when he's having a good time, which is a lot, he'll even do it when we get out of the shower and walk past his cage to get some clothes, lol! He loves to dance and extend his wings open a little bit so it looks like they're heart wings.

That's a reallynice idea!!

This is Ellie. She is a three-year-old Blue Front Amazon.:green:
She is...a brat. Really, really stubborn, but also really curious about everything around her. Everything. She loves strawberries and pomegranates more than life, and has a striking fear/hate of pinecones.

I got her as a baby, so she's bonded to me and really jealous. Loves cuddling and being pet, but also goes on little adventures around the room every once in a while, with a worried parront chasing after her.

luceandellie-albums-ellie-picture19959-a.jpg




She doesn't talk much, and she doesn't like noise that much either. Weird. Also, when refused petting, she gets on top of my arm and starts petting herself, looking at me. Always thought that was weird too.
But that's my baby, and I love her.

Thank you for this great idea!

This is Lincoln. He's a 14 year old male eclectus and he's a good boy. He likes to say "what you doing" while I'm playing video games and then follows it up with "stop" on repeat. He'll do anything for a birdy cookie or almond. He loves giving and receiving kisses too.

Ellie is such a beautiful parrot but your description of her made me laugh so much that I had to go for a more comical style.

And you are incredibly spot on. I'm guessing I could bribe her to not tell anything about a murder if I hold a strawberry or a pomegranate at this point, lol.

Yellow Shoulder Amazon, Salty
This is my yellow shoulder Amazon Salty who is just shy of 3 years old. He is a true pirate's parrot as you can see from our sig pic ( I belong to a band that performs pirate music ). Salty is a really smart and learns tricks in one or two lessons- last count was something like 32 tricks he knows. Salty has one of those parrot beaks that always make look like he is smiling. He sings opera andother songs and talks very well too. He is a much loved hub around which the spokes of our family's life revolvearound. He greetsme every night with a hearty "Hi Daddy!" will play peek-a-boo with anyone and he has an infectious laugh that gets us all going. I would be proud to have a drawing made of Salty!

This is amazing! Thank you!

This is my four year old CAG Eli. He doesn't know how to bird. His favorite game is "go pick up toy" in which he throws a thing while the hoomin retrieves it. He doesn't talk except for the word wow but he does laugh maniacally and loves to whistle his own Improvised tunes. He also Whistles a mean "the good, the bad, and the ugly" theme. His favorite room is the bathroom.

This is my eight year old IRN Popcorn. I rescued her at 11 months from an abusive as a neglectful breeder. She has epilepsy and opinions. She's a diva who doesn't realize that when she puffs up all mag is when she looks the most cuddly. She loves her baths as long as Mom books the bowl and gets soaking wet too! Don't expect to eat around Popcorn without sharing, especially if it is cheesey. She will club into the plate. Her favorite food she is allowed is popcorn and so she is called Popcorn squared sometimes. She's an independent birdie and she don't need no man.

This is Bumble. She’s a 1 year old Pacific Parrotlet. She is sassy and silly. She says peekaboo and tickle and makes kissy sounds. She loves to eat crunchy food like carrots and fling around the pieces. She hates the bathroom and crinkly plastic bags.

Bourke's parrots, green cheeked conure
Zenek is a 2 years old yellow sided green cheeked conure. He is busy. When he gets something to eat and likes it, he says 'good'. Also he knows few other words e.g. 'hello'. He loves grapes. When he is outside his cage always sits on someone's shoulder.
