Hi all!

Welcome, Iria!

 

[Ne'Mireth Delvar]

Welcome to the site. Let me know if you have any questions or anything.

 

[Zandera Sommers]

So if I may ask, what is a companion bird? Is that different from having a bird as a regular pet?

Interesting question

Oh, that's just my silly non-native-English speaking. It's exactly same thing as just a pet bird.

Welcome Iria! Good to see you on the forums Can you share a pic of your gorgeous cockatiels?

 

[Iria Saronin]

Thank you all for warm welcome!

Alyccea, I hope I can figure out how to post a picture on this site.. If I succeed, my birds can be seen here:

Need some help? If you have the link to the picture, all you need to do is post tags around it as follows (just remove the space): [img ]http://yoururlhere[/img]

 

[Iria Saronin]

Thank you, Alyccea! This seems ridiculous, but for some reason flickr links do not work with this....:scratch Or maybe it's just bad internet day with me.

//edit: Yeah, it didn't cope well with flickr, but now it seems to be ok...

Ooooh, pretty birds!

 

[Alyccea Nymaessene]

They are beautiful, aren't they!

A late welcome to the site. I love the birds

Thank you so much, Shaerlyn Sedai! I put quite a lot thought to the name-thing. My first name is actually technically just one letter away from my real name, and the last name consists of some letters of my real last name mixed up and spiced with some additional letters, to make it sound similar to names in Randland. And so nice to hear there are also other bird lovers here!

This made me remember how i got to my name. It was a long struggle to find a name that i could use for a site like this. In the end i mixed up all the letters of my first and last names and made something new out of it. And now i use Naeris for everything. It keeps it a little personal, and still something different then your actual name. I like it.

 

[Iria Saronin]

I'm happy that you like birds - and my birds, too! A small anecdote: I really loved it when in the books they used bird whistles as warning signals, or other birdy stuff happened.

Naeris Gaidin, that's exactly how I felt. It feels as if some personality is already attached to the name, so that you don't have to start with an empty name/person/character. I think your name is pretty cool.
