Cockatiel - Smoke
Hello everybody!! I’m really excited to be here, so I thought I'd tell you guys about myself. Id also love to hear about you, so please introduce yourself :)
My name is Tammy, and I’m a non-binary teen (they/them).

I LOVE animals, and that’s pretty much why I’m here. I currently have 3 horses (Blue, Sunflower, and Oz), 4 hens (Willa, Lilith, Roxanne, and Samantha), a dog (Benjamin) and 11 Jacob sheep (Hazel, Sox, Valentine, Sprout, Bartholomew, Poppy, Finn, Persimmon, Possum, Callie, and Oliver), who will probably get their own thread.

But most important, I have a cockatiel named Smoke! She’s about 2 and I’ve had her a little over a year. She’s currently my only parrot, though I used to have a budgie named Blackberry, who was basically my BFF for 6 years until he passed a few months ago. I've been thinking of getting another budgie for a while now, but my hands are pretty full with Smoke and the other animals.

My second major interest is music!! I’m a decent singer, and I play piano, piccolo, cello, ukulele, and I am learning violin. I’ve been wanting a career in music since I was about 4 years old.

Some other fun facts about me:
I am homeschooled
I have 3 siblings (one older, one younger, and one twin!)
My dream parrot species is a harlequin macaw and a golden conure
I spend most of my time with all my various animals, and the rest of it doing schoolwork or making music.

So yeah, that's basically who I am! Anyway I'm thrilled to be on this awesome forum. Everybody seems so nice, and I can't wait to meet you all!! (and if any mods are reading this, I'm sorry about the IP-related confusion).

Smoke on the day I got her (that's why her cage looks bad, it's a travel carrier)

Phew, that took forever to type xD. I can FINALLY go to bed now! (It's past midnight by the time I'm posting this)

TL;DR: My name is Tammy and I'm addicted to animals lol

Welcome Tammy! I'm Donna, an older woman, but I remember my teens like they were yesterday. I've had a cockatiel and a cockatoo in the past, but currently have eight budgies including Rocky, a little girl I hand raised from an egg several months ago. Unfortunately I have very bad allergies so I have no other critters. 🙁 But it looks like you have more than your share of wonderful animal companions (do you live on a farm?) including Smoke, the female cockatiel. I'm sure you will enjoy these forums. We have lots of young members and welcome their eager participation in the forum discussions.
