| − | *I have a male hand-fed cockatiel named Sydney. Other then dogs, Sydney is the most amazing pet I have ever had! He has taught me that size doesn't mean anything. Although he's small, his personality makes up for it ten fold. When he wants to show off Sydney says, "Whatcha doing?", "Pretty Bird", and "Pretty Boy". He also imitates all kinds of sounds! The most important thing about Syndney is that he helps me to not take myself so seriously.
