What lovely birds! I especially like the "Proud Papa" and "M.E." pictures. What does the M.E. stand for?

Thank you, I am a bird nut-I am glad to find another forum to share my flock with, and I adore checking out everyone else's birds, too. M.E. got his name, because when I got him, I thought he was a girl, and named him Emmie. When I was informed that he was indeed a male, I just changed the spelling, as I was already used to the name! Poor thing, I don't think he minds.

There are LOTS of birds out there with wrong-sex names. My first cockatiel was a hen named Spike. I know someone on another board who originally thought their cockatiel was male, and still uses "he" and "him" to talk about the bird even when they are reporting that "he" just laid another egg.
