I kiss Noel frequently, though its not really a kiss in the terms that I rarely ever use my lips to kiss her. It's more like I'm using my nose to kiss Noel as I make the kissing noise. Some bird owners will only kiss on the beak or the top of the head, no problem.
Good short article, however I must dissagree with one part....

The proper bird diet, says Speer, is 70-80 percent formulated pellet diet for different bird species, with the rest made of up of seeds and fruits. Even animal protein isn't a bad thing for birds when consumed in small proportions on occasion.

It's been proven that an ekkie on a pellet diet has toe tapping problems among other neurotic ones, even with 25% pellets. It has also been proven that cockatiels should not be on a diet that consists of more than 50% pellets. It has been proven that a diet high in fresh foods (including cooked meats, veggies, whole grain breads, etc) is far healthier than any seed or pellet combination. One could easily compare seeds to junk food, and pellets to processed foods for humans. It just aint all that good for us.
