Anybody have a bird and want to tell me about it?

Yes! I have a Sun Conure and he is very easy to take care of. The only thing about my bird is that he has an affinity for noisemaking and likes to squawk. This can be good (i.e. if someone's coming to the door, I get a warning) or annoying (if I go past his cage and don't take him out, he squawks repeatedly). He also doesn't like Jack very much (I keep them separate).
Otherwise, he just kind of chills in his cage or on a perch. He's pretty good about warnings with bathroom stuff (when we first got him, he went to the bathroom on my sister's shoe! Eww!). We just clean his cage about once every two weeks and refill his food/water when it's running low. He's gotten really good at just perching on peoples' shoulders and sitting patiently when taken out of his cage. Oh, but we do close doors when we take him out of the cage! He's pretty good at flying.
Here is a photo of Norman Conrad Birdie [my last name] IV (fourth bird we've had), best known as "Norm," like the Cheers character.
