You could call them JB and CJ for short. XD
Jaybee and Seejay to make it cute.

Yes, yes. True to his name, Captain Jack is a bit ornery, and had to have his wing clipped. James Bond is dapper and perches on my finger. Usually.
DiamondSwan
Hehe, cute. 
Where did you get them from? (I know petstore birds aren't friendly at all...)

Captain Jack was an escapee. We caught him.
James Bond was a petstore bird.

Ahh. I'm surprised you can hold them! They usually aren't very tame.
I just got 2 new cockatiels (male and female). I'm working on taming them, but they get along well with my other 'tiel, Rosie.

He was young when I got him. I imagine if you raised them from a chick they would be friendlier.
I thought about getting a tiel once. Bet they bite harder than budgies!

Yeah, that's true.
Rosie doesn't bite (new ones do). She's So sweet and loves attention. She was hand raised. Only the males talk.

Huh. I haven't taught my budgies anything. I hear they talk, at least a little.
DiamondSwan
You can teach them quite a lot. Even music tunes. My male only says "pretty boy" so far. But I can teach him more.
Fanci Feathers Marans
I would be satisfied if my birds just learned a few tunes. I listen to the same song for hours on end sometimes. Of course, it would probably help if I used some sort of reward rather than just have it playing.
DiamondSwan
Yeah. I have a friend (@TamingMaster) who has cockatiels and she's taught them quite a lot of phrases and tunes. Including the Mario Theme. :)
(Sorry, I'm good at dissapearing. I don't have my own device, so I use my mom's whenever she doesn't have it (which is rare :P). That's why I haven't joined the RP yet.)

Makes sense. I've met Tamer Masterer. She draw stuff, too.

Tamey Muhaster 
(She'll like the nicknames.)
Yeah. She's cool. I met her awhile ago, but we just recently started catching up.

Gaaaasp. We've been caught talking behind her back.

I am a naughty hooman.
So... I hear you have secrets to training birdies?

I'm not a pro or anything (I'm still learning about the birbs), but I know how to get them friendly. XD
If you need advice, feel free to PM me. :3
