Hi! My name is Chichi and I am a male normal gray cockatiel. We cockatiels are small, six inch birds with a small crest. Our natural color is gray, but many breeders are creating color mutations, and there are now cockatiels that are mostly white, yellow, or even a pale green called olive. You can see some great pictures of cockatiels here Here is a picture of Me! See my face? Soon I will lose those gray feathers and grow new, yellow ones!

The picture on the left is me on a k'nex structure that my family built. On the right is me at Christmas! You can see the tree in the background. In both pictures you can see my new, yellow head feathers. Just recently my mom found out that my birthday is on June 4th, 2001!!

Me looking cute!!

Me preening.

Me one a windowsill, where I spend a lot of my afternoons.

Me on a computer. You can't really see the computer, just me! :-)

Me in front of the computer, doing complex origami. You can see our picture editing software in the backround!

Me trying to figure out what mom's pointing at my face.

I'm flying!!

My on the k'nex "big ball machine" that my mommy's sister build! I look innocent, but I love to destroy it! :-)

Not me. (duh). This the "mystery bird from D.C." He/she lives at the national zoo in Washington D.C.
