These are my first two "Fids" (feathered Kids), Charlie (on the right) and Petiout (pronounced P-two, on the left) . I love these birds like you wouldn't believe. Like I said, these are my children and I treat them as such. They even eat better than I do...all organic. I have to say many of us don't give animals enough credit, thinking they are 'just animals'. Well, these two have amazing personalities, and are very different from each other. Charlie (believe it or not she was named before I got her) doesn't like to be picked up much, but loves to be pet. Petiout dislikes being pet, but loves to be picked up and cuddled. Charlie tends to get VERY jealous of Petiout and can get bitey if she gets too close. But Petiout, while normally VERY docile sometimes shows her tough side by trying to bite Charlie.

Once, both of them were sitting on my shoulders while I was reading, Charlie got VERY mad that Petiout was there and went the bite the nearest thing to show her displeasure...which was my lip. She didn't mean to bite me on purpose...birds tend to lose their heads in times of high stress and excitement. Of course I was mad at her, but amazingly she realised what she had done and walked over to me giving little kisses as ifto say, "I'm sorry."

Interesting update:

Both of my girls are rescues. Now interestingly enough, I met Charlie's old mommies (yes, pural) since I've been running the store! Charlie was born in Florida and was the personal pet of the bredder's daughter. Apparently Charlie was far too screamy, so she was given away to some other folks here in town. I forget why she was given up a second time, but she ended up in Terri's Pet Stop (the previous store that I bought out) where I met her and had to have her.

 This is my youngest Fid...Marley.  Named for the musician because he's such a chill little bird.  Except at night.  He becomes a snapping little demon at night.  he is a Maximillian Pionus.

This is my oldest, Max.  She's  a Yellow Naped Amazon.  BIG GIRL!  She used to live in the store, but has since moved into my house and loves it there. 

Another sun conure, named Scooby.  Miscieveous little bugger, but loves me to pieces.  NEEDS to be on my shoulder as much as possible.
