My brother currently has 3 birds; two budgies (one was given to him since he's a vet and it has a broken foot) and one white roosteratoo (and it really is a rooster at times).
Recently his $4000 black roosteratoo died due to some kind of lung infection or breathing problems, so we was pretty upset about that. He's also had a Long-Billed Corella at one point, but he gave it away (not sure why, either so he had space for the black roosteratoo or because the Corella was an absolute cunt). His first bird was a little yellow budgie who was a pretty big richard and liked to bite everything.
