My Wonderful Animal Companions

I have always been an animal lover, and my home is filled with the joy of many pets. Each of them has a unique personality, and I cherish the time I spend with them. Let me introduce you to my feathered and shelled family members!

Meet Smurf, My Adorable Parrotlet Link to heading

Smurf is my charming little parrotlet. At just two years old, he has already learned to say a few words, including “Peekaboo,” “Birdie Birdie,” and “Pikachu.” Despite his tiny size, Smurf has a big personality. He is incredibly intelligent, playful, and much quieter than many other parrots. His favorite treats are hemp seeds and millet sprays—he never says no to a snack!

Smurf loves to perch on my shoulder and observe the world around him.

Cotton Ball, Smurf’s Lovely Companion Link to heading

Meet Cotton Ball, Smurf’s sweet girlfriend. While she isn’t as tame as Smurf, she has a gentle nature and is a wonderful companion.

Together, they make an adorable pair!

My Beautiful Canary Link to heading

Next up is my beautiful canary. She’s full of personality and loves to steal Smurf’s hemp seeds whenever she gets the chance!

She has the most lovely songs, making my home feel even more lively and cheerful.

Dumpling, My Box Turtle Link to heading

Last but not least, let me introduce Dumpling, my box turtle. A friend of mine donated him to me before moving to Austin in 2021. Back then, he was just a tiny hatchling, no bigger than a quarter. Now, he has grown to the size of my palm!

Dumpling is a fascinating little creature, and watching him grow over the years has been truly rewarding.

Having these wonderful animals in my life brings me so much happiness. They each have their own quirks and charms, and I love caring for them every day. Do you have any pets? I’d love to hear about them! 😊
