We had a cockaTIEL for years, but she appears to have choked on something.

HER job was to sing along with music box on her cage, to wake us up! VERY sweet.

We named her CIELA, This word itself is rooted in the Latin word caelum, meaning "heaven". HEAVENLY! Heard the word/name first on our honeymoon in Italy, family called out their little girl CIELA!!!
