I don't have any dogs or cats. Just a few adorable little birds and a betta fish. Sorry if the pictures look very pixelated and blurry but my cell is my only camera for the time being cuz I am lazy.

My last photo of birds are birds I've had for a while then they both went to bird heaven over a year and a half ago. The two birds in a picture above theirs happen to be their children. They are still around and they celebrated their sixth birthday back in February.

And my betta is really a female betta (she looks gorgeous enough to be a boy). Females are different from the males because their fins are not as large and elegant and their bodies are not as colorful. I always thought though that with the way the female bettas' tail and somewhat the fins looks it makes them almost look like those prehistoric fish, coelacanth.

P.S. Since I love zebra finches so much, I've found a video on Youtube about some of these finches that make noises on these stand-up guitars when they do their normal activities. I hope it's not illegal to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Kz8Nxb-Bg. It is very cute.

I have four finches. They're so small, it's like owning two parakeets.

I noticed your Mini-Pet Collection and a small thought just came back in my mind: I wish that there would be finches in WoW as companion pets.

I had a budgerigar once. I taught him to say "Hello".

I loved that little guy. He died from what we thought was cancer 2006.

(Not a picture of him, but a similar bird)

I like finches, but I've been unfortunately somewhat turned off of budgies and cockatiels. My mother bred them when I was growing up. My bedroom was next to the room with 300+ budgies and 100+ 'tiels. Oh my god, the noise ....

My husband wants a big parrot (like an Amazon or cockatoo, not a really big parrot like a macaw), but so far I've convinced him to hold off. People don't realize how much emotional support they need and how long they live.
