Sweet Pea, a vibrant cockatoo affectionately known as “Chicken,” doesn’t let her inability to fly stop her from living life to the fullest. Every time the front door opens, Sweet Pea eagerly waddles over to welcome guests with boundless energy. Whether it’s a contractor, technician, or simply a friend dropping by, she greets everyone with an animated personality that’s impossible to ignore.
Unlike other exotic birds that might shy away from visitors, Sweet Pea does the opposite—she climbs up pant legs, chirps excitedly, and demands attention in the most charming way. Her enthusiasm turns even the most routine house call into an unforgettable event.
One of her most adored routines is welcoming the hard-working blue-collar professionals who frequent the home. From HVAC experts to lawn care workers, Sweet Pea knows them by sound, eagerly rushing to the door the moment she hears a vehicle pull up. Most returning workers have come to expect her enthusiastic greetings and often call out a cheerful “Hey, Chicken!” as they cross the threshold, prompting her to scurry over with pure happiness.
However, for guests who are less familiar with birds (especially energetic ones), her animated greetings can be a bit overwhelming. While some may hesitate at the sight of a fast-approaching, eager bird, animal lovers quickly fall in love with Sweet Pea’s affectionate and hilarious nature.
Sweet Pea is never alone in her social adventures. She has a constant companion, Copper, a large, lovable black dog who shares her excitement whenever someone visits. This unexpected dynamic duo forms an adorable greeting squad—Copper with his friendly tail wags and Sweet Pea with her leg-climbing antics.
Their bond is heartwarming, and they often team up to brighten everyone’s day. Together, they’ve turned a simple home into a place filled with laughter, unexpected interactions, and pet-fueled charm.
Sweet Pea is part of a much larger feathered family, lovingly cared for by her human companion, fondly called “The Parrot Lady.” Among her avian siblings are:
- Polly, a vibrant and talkative Amazon parrot
- Thyme, a cheerful and energetic yellow conure
- Brody, a wise African Grey with an impressive vocabulary
Each parrot contributes its unique flair to the home, creating a lively atmosphere filled with bird chirps, songs, and playful mischief. Life with this flock is never dull, and Sweet Pea often takes center stage with her larger-than-life presence.
Among Sweet Pea’s unforgettable moments was a trip to the local dog park where Copper proudly introduced her to a group of dogs. While Sweet Pea approached with curiosity and friendliness, not all the dogs knew how to react to such an unexpected visitor. But as always, Sweet Pea didn’t shy away—she tackled the moment with her characteristic joy and courage.
Another magical highlight was the day a piano tuner visited the house. As delicate notes floated into the room, Sweet Pea perched nearby, captivated. For a few moments, her usual bounding excitement gave way to still fascination. Whether it’s an appliance buzzing or a melody playing, Sweet Pea treats every sound as a new opportunity for joy.
When the house is quiet in between visitors, Sweet Pea and Copper are far from idle. They appear to team up in playful schemes — watching for the next car, plotting harmless but humorous mischief, or simply enjoying the company of their avian family.
Their home exudes warmth, music, and a constant sense of welcome. Thanks to Sweet Pea’s boundless spirit and her lovable companions, every visit feels special, whether you’re fixing a pipe or just stopping by for conversation.
