Chipper the Ham
From the beginning, Chipper has been the most sociable and interactive member of my avian gang. If you've ever had a happy cockatiel in your life, just thinking about them - high-spirited, cheeky, loving, mischievous, personality-filled - will make you smile.
All happy male cockatiels have what I call The Strut: wings slightly lifted, head cocked, walk a bit stiff. It's hilarious and extremely endearing. You just know that the bird is showing off, with no apologies! (This video shows a bit of that particular state of being.)
Doesn't Chipper make you smile at his view of the world?

I love this video! Especially when he puts his face right in the camera. How adorable!
I wish my birds would be more into whistling!
Chipper is a master whistler. He taught everything he knows to Charlie, who also sings the same tunes (at a higher pitch) along with what I call his "default" songs that he came with: not very good wild bird calls that drive everybody crazy. Thankfully, he mostly sings Chipper's songs now...
