Button is an orange faced female lovebird. She is two years old and I have had her since she was a baby.
Button is not very into the other birds. She prefers to socialize with us, the cool human flock. In most of the pictures I take of her she always looks very inquisitivev, as if she's wondering why I'm taking the picture (see picture 1). But she loves to pose for the camera. Button wasn't her original name. But we kept calling her "such a little button" all the time that the name stuck.

Button's a very jealous bird. I am her best friend and if any of the other birds go near me, they'd better watch out. She likes to sit in her cage, press her little face up against the bars, and "growl" at the offending bird.

She's also very good at communicating. We have taught her to mimic a bit. She can't say words, but she can count sylabbles to a certain extent. If we say "squeaky" to her she likes to imitate it back and bob her little head up and down. It's quite hard to describe how cute it is. It really does sound like she is saying "squeaky" back at us.

The cutest thing about Button, though, is that she has this little coconut swing she likes to sit in (picture 2). That is HER swing and she will sit in it all day, rocking it back and forth so that it gradually moves from one side of the cage to the other. Just when she gets it like she wants it, we push it back to the beginning and she loves to start all over again. We've started saying, "Button's come from coconuts" to her when she sits in it. She has even inspired me to write a children's book with that same title about a lovebird named - what else - Button. She was my first ever bird of any kind and I've loved her so much that I've added three more lovebirds and a quaker parakeet into the mix. She's just the sweetest most cuddly bird I've ever seen, and before her I had no idea that birds could even be like that.
