Introducing Gilligan and Mary Ann, our new love birds. Gilligan is the gray one and Mary Ann the green. Gilligan is very sweet and will let us hold him and play, but Mary Ann is a biter. She has already bit Tyson twice (you think he would learn to quit putting his fingers in the cage!). Aren't they photogenic?
We got them from a friend who didn't want them anymore. We were kind of thinking they would be good for the kids who eventually want a dog.
Tana had them named Romeo and Juliet, but I have always wanted a pet named Gilligan, so we changed their names. Can you tell which of us grew up with the classics and which spent their days watching "Gilligan's Island"? (ha ha ha ha) This is Gilligan perched on my finger. He's so cute!
The kids are really enjoying them, but still nervous about the beaks. We all wear gloves for now until Mary Ann can be tamed, but here are Taylor and Annie holding Gilligan. Taylor loves it, but they still make Annie nervous. Yesterday, she was holding Tyson up to see Gilligan on my finger and they spooked him and he flew. Annie screamed, dropped Tyson and ran across the room. If I hadn't been so concerned about Tyson after being dropped, I would have found it extremely funny!
So, if you are in the mood to hear them chirp (which is loud and often...Kevin keeps threatening to roast them) or hold them, come on by. We love to show them off!

Oh my, I'm guessing that Tyson is okay, other than the fact that he got dropped by his sister, goodness. I can't believe you guys have birds now...how fun. And Annie does look a little freaked in that picture, hehe. I guess we'll get to meet them on Saturday and we'll see how Ewan reacts to them, it could be interesting.
