   It's funny that you should choose those words, for that is the very thing I   
   told my daughter when she let it slip that she was shopping for another bird.   
   (We have two cockatiels already, oh, but you knew that.)  So much for dad's   
   advice.   
      
   Oh, but the new one is just beautiful.  It has a rascally nature and is a   
   rainbow of joy to behold, more so as it grows older (for the colours change -   
   it's a DNA/gene thing).  I previously never knew of such a bird that   
   absolutely loves to roll on its back or side and just 'prop' in position,   
   lapping up all the attention and just playing for playfulness's sake.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
