Meet Kiwi!
Kiwi is our bird.  She is a dusky conure.  She's only a baby - less than 2 years old.  She's pretty clever.  My dad whistles for the dog in the morning to signal that it's time to go out and Kiwi has mastered the whistle!  So much so, that for the first few months I couldn't tell them appart!  She can now also say "Hello, Kiwi" though she usually says it very quietly. 

If you leave the room, Kiwi shreaks at the top of her birdie voice and my house is transformed into a jungle.  She likes to come out and snuggle close to your face.  She can make kissing sounds, like those you make when puckering your lips.  (We kiss her head, that's how she learened that one!)  She likes to throw crackers into her water and hang upside down.
