The most together they have been is that they now live in the same room, and it's going wonderfully. A few times I had Rosie on my shoulder as I talked to Kinji and that also went smoothly, neither acted Jealous.
I won't be letting them have physical contact for a long time, if ever. Way to many risk's.

Thanks! Rosie is a galah cockatoo, in Australia they are very common in the wild and as pets. Here in America they are often called the Rose breasted cockatoo, although it's loosing popularity and more and more people are calling them galahs (I'd say it's about 50/50 as of now).
The forum is a great place for variety, but to see even more I recommend the book[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Parrots-World-Princeton-Field-Guides/dp/0691142858/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3OHS6A22ZS61R&coliid=IXHCGUA3NJJUJ"] Parrots of the World (Princeton Field Guides)[/ame]

I love looking at your pictures of your Rosie and now Kenji. You take such beautiful pictures of your birds and I have always enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
It would not surprise me if you do become a well known photographer. You have the talent and drive for it so I am going to be looking forward to your famous works down the road. At one time I also wanted to be a photograher/photojournalist and wanted to work for Natural Geographic. Life took a way different turn and I ended up in netowork and computers.
My first high end camera was a Nikon from the early 80's. It was one of the first camera's with a computer chip in it automating some features. I love this camera and still have it. I used it quite heavily while I was in the Navy and when I was traveling all over.
In 2005 we got a Kodak EasyShare DX6490. Although I feel limited with it compared to my old SLR Nikon because it is not one of those high quality digital cameras that cost thousands (yes I want one and want to find the best for the money but have not done to research cuz then would just pine for what ever I learn is a good DLR camera) it gets the job done but I feel I can't do very much with this camera.
Someday I would LOVE to get a nice DLR camera and go nuts. I am curious to know more about them wearing out. Yea, I understand a traditional SLR parts wearing out and getting them fixed but I would like to know more about DLR miladies. What are their downsides. My 1980's camera is still in perfect working order. I kept my fathers version of my camera which he used in the field (Father was a civil Engineer who designed and inspected bridges for the state and used his Nikon in the field so his camera had a lot of dust which I had professionally cleaned. This camera, even with the film advancing quirk still works really well) and even after all this time experience no problems with this camera.

@noblemacaw
Thanks
I'm hopefully to have a bright future, I still have a lot to learn and will only improve.
The part of a DSLR that wears out first is the shutter, it can happen to a SLR but it rarely does and takes much longer. Most entry level DSLR's have 100,000 shutter cycles in them, but many go beyond to around 150,000. The high end DSLRs are said to have 200,000-300,000 shutter cycles in them depending on the camera. But in reality they rarely ever reach the 300,000 point.
Most shutters wear out before the CPU, so the higher end cameras can be sent to the manufacturer for a $400+ price to get the shutter replaced. It isn't worth it with the lower end DSLR cameras so that would mean a trip to amazon.com to buy a new camera.
Most DSLR have a shutter life of 4-7 years.
