About Me

Even tho' I'm a wee little Pacific Parrotlet, I'm just packed with personality!
One of my favorite things to do is annoy my neighbors, Bubu and Sweet Pea. They are a pair of Pacific Parrotlet who live underneath me. I call them 'The Bickerson's' as they bicker all the time and then they'll kiss and make up. All I have to do is look down at their cage and that really ruffles their feathers!
Buddy is a rambunctious parrotlet who lives across the living room from me. When he's happy, he'll start singing his repertoire of 'wolf whistles' and 'the charge' tune while perched in his cage. He loves to preen me and hang out in my cage. He seems to know what he's doing so I follow him where ever he goes. However, he'll get me into trouble with Mom... he taught me how to 'swiss cheese' her shirts and how to bite her toes!
A flock of noisy Peach-Faced Lovebirds live in another room. Peanut and Tater share a private nesting box. Tater keeps laying eggs which never hatch so poor Peanut must be sterile. Please don't tell him because we don't want to hurt his feelings.
Tater's sister, Daisy, and her mate, Smokey, share another nesting box along with 4 chicks from their third clutch. Besides these chicks, there are 4 lovebirds from their first clutch and 3 lovebirds from their second clutch. Even tho' they are around 2 years old, Daisy and Smokey are grandparents to Clem Kadiddlehopper! Now I know why these guys are called lovebirds...
As for my owner, she lets me play with Buddy. Buddy and I forage around the living room carpet looking for stray seeds, fly back and forth across the living room and perch on our mom's shoulders. Buddy loves to hang down in front of my mom's face clinging onto locks of her hair. My poor mom has to hide any bare skin as I like to nibble just a little too hard... BTW, my favorite things are toes!!!
I have another set of neighbors named Sunshine and Speed Racer who live outside on the lanai. They are a pair of Red-Earred Sliders. They like to sun bathe on top of their rock on warm sunny days and huddle over their water heater during the cold winter months. Even tho' they really can't speak, I just don't like the way they stare at me...
RIP Bongo April 2007 - November 25, 2007
Bongo was my former mate. He was my best parrrotlet friend in the whole wide world. Bongo was a mischevious imp who would sneak into Bubu and Sweet Pea's cage every day. He really loved to annoy them... I love and miss him very much! I know he is still around watching over us. It must be easier for Bongo to sneak into Bubu and Sweet Pea's cage because he's an invisible spirit now!


My Interests

Systematically destroying any toy with hanging leather strips or string. Taunting my neighbors, Bubu and Sweet Pea. Nibbling on human flesh and shredding shirts!
