Affectionate little character with a big personality

Cockatiels really do have enormous personalities for their size. My bird, Archie, greets me at his cage door every morning, wolf-whistles at the cat, and sulks visibly if I skip his daily out-of-cage time. He has not learned to talk but his whistling repertoire is impressive. The feather dust is the only real downside — I dust more than I used to. A wonderful species for almost any household.
