I have a whiteface cockatiel called Sylvan (we call him Sylvi). He’s the first male tiel I’ve ever had, and he’s a huge character. This is an almost daily occurrence. He really says that, too. He also likes to say “BOING” when he leaps on me, and sometimes he dances on my head while singing this goofy “doot-doot-dooooo” song he invented by drastically modifying Saria’s Song from Ocarina of Time.

I love this little guy very much. He’s a strangely good talker, smart as a whip, my chunkiest little beefcake of a griffin.
