If you know me, you know that animals are a huge part of my life. And if you've ever been to my house, you definitely know I love pets. Since they're so important to me, I figured I should write a little something about each of the current animals living in my (parents') home.
I'll start with the oldest: Tiki, our Peach-Faced Love Bird. I'm not exactly sure when we got him, but I'm pretty sure I was still in middle school at the time. So that makes him around 10-years-old.

He seems to be a generally happy little bird, even though he's been single since we got him. For a good portion of his life, we would cover his cage at night (as one often does with birds). And I guess he was lonely, because he'd pull the fabric inside through his cage bars and proceed to hump it. He's since gotten over that, and happily sits in our kitchen.
Tiki doesn't like bird seed much anymore. Mostly because he's been spoiled by receiving food straight from our dinner plates. His favorite snack is fresh corn; if he sees anything yellow on your plate he'll squawk and dance until you give him some. He also like's spaghetti.

I love his lime green and sea blue feathers. He's definitely a beautiful pet. Stay tuned for my next pet-post, featuring Malakai, the oldest of our cats.
