My bird hall of fame 🦜
Below, find a gallery of some of the birds I've had, from oldest to be adopted to youngest to be adopted.-
Zezé, the matriarch
Breed Sex Fate Pearl cockatiel Female Given away to a better family 
A picture of Zezé, a female pearl cockatiel. My first cockatiel ever. When we got her, we thought it was a male, so we named her a traditional male bird name. I'd never had a bird before, so I didn't know I had one with the sweetest bird personality possible. She's also the matriarch, as most of the birds that I owned after her were one of her descendants.
In the picture, Zezé is the leftmost bird; the other two are canaries that came around the same time: the middle one Juquinha and the right one Algodão.

Zizi, the first husband
Breed Sex Fate Normal grey cockatiel Male Escaped 
A picture of Zizi, a male normal grey cockatiel. Our second cockatiel, supposed to be Zezé's wife. Turned out to be Zezé's husband. This was our first ill-tempered cockatiel. It would still climb on your shoulder or hop in your finger, but it would do so very angrily and after a lot of effort from your part.

Pipoca, the second husband
Breed Sex Fate White-faced cockatiel Male Given away to a better family After Zizi escaped, we got Pipoca. He was way sweeter than Zizi, but not as sweet as Zezé. He was very well received though, because we all resented Zizi after he left his entire family back. Pipoca was never a father, despite his long-lived romance with Zezé. He was, however, her endgame.

Josefina, the next generation
Breed Sex Fate Pearl cockatiel Female Given away to a better family 
A picture of Josefina, a female pearl cockatiel. After we gave away all birds, we got a new generation more than 5 years later. This is Josefina. I don't think she had many personality traits beyond establishing herself as the alpha bird of the pack and being very philosophical (I'm 100% sure that cockatiel reflected on her existence more than she should). She hit all of the other birds and took feathers out of their heads. Her husband was choronically bald due to her offenses and his genes.

Legolas
Breed Sex Fate Lutino cockatiel Male Given away to a better family 
A picture of Legolas, a male lutino cockatiel. After we got Legolas, we learned a great deal about Lutinos. For instance, they have a tendency to be bald. Apart from that, Legolas was very skittish, and I hated playing with him.

Paloma, the tiny one
Breed Sex Fate Lutino cockatiel Female With us 
A picture of Paloma, a female Lutino cockatiel. Paloma is Josefina and Legolas' kid. We know she's a female because the only way a Pearl and a Lutino can have a Lutino baby is if the baby is female. And, indeed, Paloma is basically a copy of her dad.
Paloma's life was very hard. I have the secret suspicon that Josefina and Legolas were actually siblings, because Paloma was born unable to walk (so we needed to tape her legs together for the first months of her life, so she would learn how to walk; and, due to this, her nails grew all over the place, and she can't properly walk, but hop).
Paloma is the only cockatiel we have nowadays, because my sister and her have an emotional dependence on each other.

ZĂ©, the big one
Breed Sex Fate True parrot Female With us 
ZĂ©, a 22-year-old true parrot. Yes, we also misgendered this one. She's actually a female, again with a traditional male bird name.
What to say about ZĂ©? This one is one of a kind. She's around 22 years old, although we don't know for sure (we got her only a few years ago), and, man, doesn't this bird have a personality. She only likes my dad and no one else, although she absolutely loves to argue with me (yes, she can talk -- a lot).
My dad is so attached to ZĂ© that we consider her basically a sister. For Christmas, we gifted her a new cage (as you can see in the background), after she lived in the same cage ever since she hatched out of her egg. One of my biggest sadnesses is not knowing how this troublemaker looked like when she was a baby. I wish someone had a picture.
ZĂ© doesn't know how to fly, despite us giving her all the opportunities in the world. She used to eat very unhealthily before we adopted her, but now she's one of the healthiest birds we ever had. ZĂ© likes to sing that she's a good companionship (although she is not) and that she is taciturn because "the cat ate her tongue". I believe that deep down ZĂ© likes me and the rest of the family, and that she considers herself a very happy bird.
No picture for this one. It was the most skittish bird I've ever seen in my life, and the one that flied the most. He had two passions in life: find new ways to escape the cage and then come back; and his sister, Catarina. We could not even get near her without him attacking us.
No picture for this one either. She was almost as skittish as her brother, but she never tried to escape, and we were able to hold her in our finger once or twice. I feel like deep down Catarina was very sweet, but her brother never let us interact with her properly.
