Puck, Pan and Jeffrey. Puck and Pan are both female citron cockatoos (which is a subspecies of sulphur crested cockatoos), they are also both 11 years old and hatched in the same month, however, they are unrelated (dirently). Jeffrey is a male blue and gold macaw and he is 3 years old.

And Junior, a male zebra finch, he is 7 years old and I have had him since the day he hatched. His story is very special. My family had a house fire in 2010 and we lost our whole flock, 8 large parrots and over 2 dozen finches/parakeets, and Junior was the only bird to survive. We have no idea how he survived as he was in the room with the large parrots, 10-50x his size and they perished. We call him the miracle finch. But he is better than ever and I am grateful for him being in my life. I actually have his portrait tattooed on me as he was one of the few things that got me through the after math of the fire.

My birds actually don't scream much. Jeffrey can get noisy when he really gets into his playing. But, most birds are noisy, and unfortunately cockatoos and conures are prone to screaming.

It is just something you either work on and hope to resolve the screaming, or you accept it. All animals have their cons. Dogs/cats shed fur everything and pee and poo on things, birds scream and make messes and chew your furniture, reptiles try and give you salmonella and get you to feed them mice, rodents/small mammals smell and chew things and when let out hide in the hardest place to get them possible. It is all about what are you willing to deal with to receive the pro's of the animal involved.
