Tony -- our oldest pet, who will be 11yo in July. I think he likes it when it was just the three of us (him, me, and Mr. BtA).



Voodoo (who turns 6 on Jan 13th) -- this is our sweet little man. (Baby pic, then today pic)




Willow -- our 5yo blue-headed Pionus parrot.



Caesar -- (pronounced KAY zar) passed away this past March. He was 7yo.



Tzarina -- Caesar's mate, she is almost 5yo (the one in the front)



Laveau -- She will be 3yo in May. Named after Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans



Waldo -- not really our pet, took up residence above our home in New Orleans (yes, there are wild roosters in NOLA!)



Marigny -- (pronounced: mare UH knee) She will be 3yo in June and is Laveau's half-sister



Zatanna -- Named after a DC Comic superheroine, known as the Mistress of Magic, she will 1yo in April



The Finch Krewe -- Thorn, Antony, Rogue (male zebra finches all over 7yo) and Aegis (male Orange Weaver not pictured)



We also have had several other birds, some who passed on, as well as hamsters and fish. We like animals.
