♥  It's in the whisper of my grey; she's the sunshine on a cloudy day...Toni

♥  Because he has taught me so much about inner strength, love, trust, and overcoming adversity...Susan K.

♥  He taught me there's ALWAYS time for a scritch, a song, a dance, or a cuddle! Life's too short to be too busy for those!...Susana

♥  They can brighten up my darkest day by making me laugh with their crazy antics...Machelle

♥  When it's daylight, or the light goes on in the room, it's a brand new day and they wake up, ever so gently with a yawn, a stretch, a smile...and a poop! Everything else from the moment leading up to this time is forgotten...Donna D.

♥  He demands that I take the time to: sit and snuggle, be silly, crawl on the floor, sing out of tune, dance like a fool, give cockatoo kisses, holler bye-bye when leaving a room, play peek-a-boo, and celebrate the wonder of each day the way it was meant to be...Lori

♥ Because there is no one else in this world that wolf whistles at me first thing in the morning, every morning!...Sue CC

♥  Because I was able to save one of them and in turn they have saved me many times. They brought my smile back. I know it sounds sappy, but it's true...Karen S.

♥  He loves me as I am. He does not pass judgement upon me, he doesn't care if I am rich or poor, fat or thin, happy or sad. He never looks at me funny if I don't comb my hair, get dressed or if I put on 2 different color socks. He loves me for who I am unconditionally, with no strings attached...My bird makes me laugh when I am sad, heals my soul when it needs healing...He is my best friend...Vicki H.

♥  He flies to me when he sees me coming through the hallway and lands on my shoulder and gives me kisses...Barb A.

♥  Because they bring me such joy, laughter, and unconditional love (unless I make them eat something they don't like!). Parrots are such magical creatures, and I wish everyone could feel the connection that one develops with them...Devi

♥  He is like a 2 year old getting into things. The other day he was on his playgym in dining area and I heard in my husbands voice "Simba, what are you doing?" Then a big crash sound and laughing. Husband was not in the house and bird friend was here and we were cleaning cages in bird room. We heard this repeated 3 more times before we got in there and there was Simba, my African Grey, off the playgym and on the butcher block cart tossing the little olive oil dipping dishes across the room. Four of the dishes were broken as they crashed at the other end of the room where he was tossing them. My other grey was still on the playgym. It happened so fast and I can not move fast...Bonnie

♥  Because at night, when I read in bed, she gets under my comforter and won't come out. She lays on her back along my thigh with my hand on her belly...Ilona

♥  He thinks he's a little green human. No matter if he's eaten or not, as soon as we sit down at the table he's climbing up one of our legs and his head pops up screaming "want some, want some, want some NOOOOWWWWWW"...Verna

♥  Every day brings a new laugh. This morning as I was answering emails, Budster said as clear as a bell (in dear hubby's voice)..."that darn cat M-E-O-W". (MEOW was in Plague the cat's voice!) I about spit my coffee all over the monitor...Nancy G.

♥  Because they listen when you need to rant and are always available when you need to "dance" it out!...Kristie
