Something I need to apologize for, I stole Pip's name from your bird... Sorry! I was planning in calling him buster because he's my second favorite bird of yours, but unfortunately, Pip (mine) was WAY too skinny to be called "Buster The Fatty"

My son and I used to randomly pick a name and say "(Whatever) would be a good name for a cockatiel". One day the name we picked was Vlad, and it really was such a good name for a cockatiel that the next time we got a new bird we named him Vlad.
He's cinnamon (a lighter shade of grey) and sometimes he bites hard, so we call him Vlad the Impaletiel. Like Vlad the Impaler, only different.
The name of Russia's current leader was like a gift to us. We also call our cockatiel Vlad Pootin, since he poots (poops) all over the place.
Your son and you? How old are your birds?? I mean, since he already moved out and became a teacher, I guess it's been a pretty long time now, right?
