Artist's Comments

Eep, having trouble uploading... Anyway, full view, please!

Gotta love bad puns. Probably only bird people would like this piece. My cockatiel, Ebo, was kind enough to pose for me. He's such a loser! ^_^

Media: Pen and ink, Painter, Photoshop

It made me smile. xD
And Cockatiels DO love their millet... (at least mine does)
When you try to take the spray of it away from them, they go all ninja-bird on you. x3

Hahaha!!! "Ninja-bird!" That's the best description ever! And it's very fitting, too. My cockatiel doesn't really care if I take his millet away, but if I take my foot away, that's another story. (Man, he has the world's worst foot fetish... -_-)

How long have you had your cockatiel? He(?) sounds really cute!

Lol, I've had my Tiel for just over four years now, and he's livelier than ever.
I remember the first night home for him... I was at his cage practically the WHOLE night. :lmao:
But he's worth all the effort. =) Who else would I take into my room to watch cartoons with?! xD

Tell me more about your Ebo. ^-^

Oooh, yay for four years! I've had Ebo for about three years now. He's a big loser (which is the highest compliment when it comes to tiels!). He says "Ebo" and "Ebo-Ebo-Ebo" and "Good Ebo" and other dorky stuff.

I actually have audio and video of him at my animal website:

I haven't updated it in over a year, but it still has some fun stuff. ^_^ I mostly post new stuff at Tailfeathers Network. If you haven't been there, it's worth a look. My name over there is PhoenixK.

Ick, sorry about the "advertising." It's just that it's a good place for people with tiel obsessions. ^_^ But anyway, I'd love to hear more about Jeter! What kinds of dorky tiel stuff does he do?

Please, no more of this. I don't want to have to clean laugh-spittle off the computer again.

I love this!!!! That's so clever, originally, funny, and a totally bad pun that only bird lovers can completely appreciate!!! (don't worry, I love bad puns--my friend's mom is full of them; she'd get a kick out of this, once I explained to her what cockatiels' obsession with millet is)

Content aside, the technique is really great and the light and shadows are well done. The cockatiel is excellent:). The way you made the belly feathers is particularly good, too.

wonderful! I have to add this to my favorites!

Hehehe, yay for people who appreciate bad puns! We should take over the world. ^_^ Thank you very much, by the way! (and sorry for being so incredibly slow)
