them eyes.

Interesting trivia: Blue eyes come at a cost U nU At least in my case; they get very sore, stingy, and irritated on frequent occasion. Something about allowing too much light to pass through them or somesuch.

Milly's eyes, on the other hand, don't seem to bother her at all, ever! * U* Lucky beeb!!

My eyes change from green to blue. It depends on the day, so I do know how you feel when it comes to sore, stingy eyes.

I usually stay in the dark when my eyes change to blue. <u> I get headaches with them so its better for me to stay in the dark.

Wouldn't it be cool to have black colored eyes?

I wouldn't mind having the black eyes, it would be cool if it had streaks of color in them as well xD

I get the headaches, too!! But there are a lot of things that trigger my migraines haha!
My brother has black colored eyes! * U* Well, not technically black, it's technically a very very very dark brown. So dark, you can't see his pupils. It's very unique!
Of the two of, he's the one with poor vision, though. He has to wear glasses, while I am quite fortunate in that my eyesight exceeds 20/20

It comes with having light colored eyes.

but sometimes it damages your eyes if you don't take proper care of them ( Chronic dry eye, too much sun damage = worse vision, etc. )

It helps me see in the dark better, im not sure if you have the same thing with being able to see in the dark.

All of my family were born with light brown to dark brown eyes. So i'm the oddball.

I have actual full heterochromia in person, left eye medium blue, right eye hazel brown. I like to joke that I got one each of my parent's eyes as my father(and his side of the family) all have blue eyes, and my mother has brown. My great grandmother is where I got it from though, she was blue/green though.

Aw yeah, full heterochromia!
I hope the cool points earned pay off the amount of repeated comments you get about it. :D

Since the conversation has taken an eyesight path, do you feel any difference in your vision at each side?

I tell people I'm in a club with David Bowie and a couple of huskies.
I do have a slight astigmatism in my left eye, but I don't know if it's related to having heterochromia, or just having poor eyesight in general.
In this http://www.xrite.com/online-color-test-challenge color test I'll find myself turning my blue eye towards it more, the hue difference is sharper if I look through the left eye rather than the right, but not by much. Perhaps if my hazel eye were much darker, with a lot more melanin I would see a much larger variant between the two.

Interesting! I have eye dominance like most people, but it's just regarding focus, not hues. (Woah, I scored 0 in this test!)
Kick Bowie outta this club! He's just got his pupil eternally dilated. :O

He fooled me using his accent but he makes the best french toast so I let him stay.

Silly birb, wacoms aren't food! :>

real talk tho, that blue rubber band wacom provides to put around the top of the tablet pen is literally indestructible.
It's Milly's favorite thing to chew on, and she really tears into it. But even after all her abuse, the rubber band doesn't have so much as a mark to show for it.

I need a full size bird toy made of that material, man...

weh your eyes are so pretty
and birb <3

aaa thank you kindly U uU <33

THAT BIRD IS FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!!

She's my sun and my starsss <33

BIRB!!!

the cutest! * U*

what kind of bird is that? :0
ive been looking into getting a lovebird but ive never had a bird before

This is a parrotlet * U* She's very sweet and I love her dearly. But parrotlets are not large flock birds and are prone to territorial aggression, and are very strong/domineering birds if you aren't sure on how to train/socialize them properly. They're also pretty unforgiving; meaning that if you misstep in training, it becomes twice as difficult to get them to do what you're training them to do.

They also have beaks that love love love to chew, and people interpret that as aggressive biting (because, when they really dig into you, it can be quite painful)! And so, a lot of folks tend to incorrectly punish the bird for 'biting unprovoked'...which results in stress and psychological disorders in these poor beebs ; u; And they live to be around 20 years old, so they're a long term commitment.

I've heard lovebirds can be similar in disposition, but I've never owned one and have done no research into them!

Cockatiels are actually very sweet, forgiving birds, making them ideal for someone who has never had prior beeb experience. They are also large flock birds, meaning that they're more suitable family animals, and have a better chance at getting along with any other birds you might want to introduce later. But they have 15 year life span, so it's still quite the commitment.

Budgies, like 'tiels, are large flock animals and so are quite friendly and non-aggressive. But they also require a TON of socializing time and need to be around their 'flock' (you/your family) constantly in order to feel safe and secure. They are high energy little birds, as well. But they have a much shorter lifespan, of around 7 years... which makes them a less daunting commitment for a first time bird owner.

ALL birds will go through their 'hormonal teenage years' at sexual maturity; and during this time they commonly become little hellions. I mean, dive bombing, blood drawing, screaming little assmonkeys. For small species like parrotlets, budgies, cockatiels, and lovies, this 'phase' occurs at around two years of age, and can last anywhere from a month, to a year or longer! This is why you see so many two year old parrots looking for a new home on craigslist. If you stick it through with them though, and afford them a ton of patience, you'll wind up with a stable, well adjusted, loving little birb companion in the end.

As with anything, research is always key! Read up on webforums and stuff, where people who actually own the species of parrot you're considering (talkparrotlets, talkbudgies, etc). Read through their trials and tribulations, questions and concerns to get a better idea o what owning a birb is like, than what simple factual research can provide.

If you're up for it, and enter into the commitment with a well-researched and prepared mind, parrots are amazing companions.
But if you don't know what you're doing, parrots can be a hellish nightmare @____@; Fate favors the prepared mind!

ohhh thank you so much for all the information! i will definitely continue researching on which bird would be best. i've always been interested in having one as a pet but i've never really looked into the disposition and nature of them.

i really appreciate it ~~ also she's really adorable! i've never heard of parrotlets before.

He look like don't let you draw in peace ahaha ! > Gibe me your attention weak human! I'm your master!

this is exactly the nature of her reign.
U___U When she is feeling especially benevolent, she will harass my husband instead of me!

I can see that fact in this photo hehe. But unfortunatly, they still too cute for really be angry about them... Damn animals!

... Guji guji you know i love you little bird :p !

Such an adorable little hellraiser!

she sure is! * U*!!! Light of my life

Whenever I see your bird I get the urge to rubber my face over her.
Looks fluffy as HELL, dude!

Trust me, I rub my face all over her, any chance I can get!! She *is* soft!!
...She woke up with poop stuck to one of her wings this morning, though... >____> So I'm gonna hold off on doin' it again until she's had a bath.

You are looking very charming and happy today.

Not sure who the human is, though.

Pip-piip! (she says thanks, and to pay no heed to the appearance of her slave in the background!!)

I miss my lovebird so bad! :(

awww ; u;! <33

that's one cheeky peep!

That is suuuch a cute bird! I can deal with the tiny birds, but the bigger ones scare me. I had an incident with a larger bird (and a friggen barn owl) as a child and now I have this irrational fear. Little ones don't bother me though and this one is soo cute! I wish I didn't have the fear. I have friends with friendly birds and they always want me to interact with them and i'm just so scared. One time a friend's bird "flew" from the back of the couch to my shoulder when I didn't even know he was in the room. He just wanted to sit there and check out my hat, but I was TERRIFIED and turned into stone with apparently a look of great terror cuz my friend rushes over, grabs him, tears in her eyes from laughing so hard at the look on my face. lol!
