We got a new cockatiel today. His name is Reggie, he's about 16 years old and he came to us from a friend of a friend who can't keep a bird around their new baby for some reason. I wanted to change his name to Elmo (to go with Zöe) but he seems pretty set with what he's got.

He's never had another bird around, and it's clear that he now wants to nail Zöe in the worst way. She doesn't loathe him the way she did Franny at first, but she is kind of leary. We'll see how it goes.
