You know you are a bird lover when...

[RavensGryf]

Haha I don't care I just wipe it off!

LOL
I keep forgetting to tell you - that's a GORGEOUS Cockatiel!! I really LOVE the color and pattern. What mutation? Is it just a pearl with extraordinary markings?

 

[lisascannell]

Yes that is my pearl, Rocky! I adore his colours too thank you!!

When you travel over 10,000 miles to be with the birds you love

When you notice there's feathers everywhere and you need to change the food...

You adorn your bedroom walls with perches and hang toys from the ceiling...for the fids of course! And when your dinner becomes their dinner.

 

[Girl4Jesus83]

Every time you get ready to go somewhere you try to figure out if you can take your bird too

When you're deployed and you only get to skype with your family once a week and you talk to the birds more than your husband! Haha. :42:

 

[RavensGryf]

Yes that is my pearl, Rocky! I adore his colours too thank you!!

Don't the male pearls change after first molt? If so, I wonder how the pattern will differ. Anyway, not to hijack the OP, but just had to ask about Rocky's unusual beautiful color

 

[lisascannell]

Rocky is only 5 months and from what I understand the males lose their pearls between 4-6 months. So I will know soon I guess! Rocky could be a she!!
