Everyone's pets are adorable! Cockleburr, as for your question of how I keep my bird from pooing on things, well, to put it simply, I don't. XD But she's only done it about four times, and three were in one flight session. So, usually she waits until she's back inside her cage, but if she goes somewhere in my room, it's generally about the size of a nerds candy piece, and pretty easy to pick up. 

And, LilyPad, no, she doesn't answer to calls. :-/ Yet! That would be super cool, and I'm trying to get her to learn her name. 

Oh, and @GreenMango, I know exactly how you feel. I fell in love with animals as soon as I petted a dog for the first time. When I was three I got my first dog, but I wanted two dogs, the one I had and a puppy. It took me until I was nine to get one. I asked for a puppy every Christmas, birthday, and just in general. For six years. But it was worth it for Bell. Anyway, I'm so sorry and I hope someday your parents let you get a pet. Also, that story made me mad at your dad. XD

Here's My chicken, Louise. It's actually really hard to tell her and Nancy apart, so just assume it's one of those two.
