Parakeets and Canaries. They cheer this house up and are so entertaining. They learn new words and phrases and even questions to ask me. They add a lot of life to this home.

@cherokeepatti do you find the birds chirp a lot at night?

@Mellowgirl They squabble with one another more than they chirp. They are tired I guess. I have to turn the lights out in the living room or turn them down and then if they continue (and sometimes they sound like raccoons chattering) I will get a dowel rod and run it across the bars of their cage they hate that and it will shut them up quickly. Sometimes I can just show them the stick or stand it up in the chair where they can see it and they’ll stop.

@cherokeepatti haha that's funny

@Mellowgirl sometimes one of the canaries starts up on me to turn the lights off and the tv down, typically about 10 p.m. I turned the table lamp off next to me and that usually satisfies her but come about midnight she wakes up and fusses to have everything turned off including the tv. Pretty little birds but they can be bossy.
