With Tiki (galah), I love his constant whirlwind of activity, the flips & jumps & rolls on the ground, the hanging upside down while screaming, his belief that everything is his to eat or play with, the way he sticks his head inside his food bowl and screams to hear his own muffled cries, and when he's finally mellow he'll make kiss-kiss sounds and tilt his head for a 15 minute head rub.
With Gator (galah), I love her gentleness, the way she really prefers to just sit happily on my hand & preen her feathers, the way she gets quietly happy when Tiki finally lets her play with a toy, the way she makes a sound like "thank you!" when you take her out or give her something.
With Tonka (CAG), I love the way he is happiest when he is near me, his desire to be near me battling with his fear of humans. And I love it when he talks or whistles, imitating me.
With Falco (my son's cockatiel who really should be named Pit Bull because he's a holy biting terror with absolutely no use for people), I love his pretty grey and white feathers!
