Never owned a pet

But have cohabitated with many. Mostly birds, cockatiels to be specific. Love em. gentle birds. low maintenance. very affectionate. And though they are highly trainable, I choose to allow them to simply be cockatiels.
Gus is the oldest, by about half a year. She is pied, which is greyish brown, with white wing tips. Oz, is the dominant of the two, male, pale yellow and white with grey wings and a grey necklace.
Gus is my buddy. Spents most of her time outside the cage on my shoulder or close by me.

Oz is more the macho type, tending to want to show off, and assert his independence.

But tiels are affection junkies, and neither of them are far away.

Also in this little aviary of mine are Marq and Buzz. Marq is an English Budgie, and Buzz is a keet. Found Marq outside near the dumpster, looking like some miniature snowy owl. Apparently an escapee from someones cage, though not in this neighborhood. I did check. When it was the three of them, Marq was the constant pest. Found out that the smaller birds do pester the larger ones. So that is where Buzz came in. Buzz turned out to be the one with the personality, though just a standard parakeet.

I love the four of them dearly
