Phoebe is my 6 year old bronze-wing pionus. I have to admit that her colors aren't QUITE as brilliant as they appear in that photo, but that's how they came out of the camera and I wasn't about to tone them down. :-) She's got her wings out because the photo was taken while she was enjoying spray from the shower.

She is basically everything I was told to expect from a pionus - mostly quiet, but with a rare shriek that rivals an M2 or U2; mostly very friendly but occasionally acts like a rabid pit-bull; hardly ever chews on furniture but loves a wad of paper or cardboard once in a while; mostly just likes to hang out in the same room with me, and does't demand constant attention like my cockatoo.

What are your birds like?
