It's not my intention to buy or cage a pair of those birds myself, I am just curious about the birds.I watched a movie recently titled "20th Century Women" (I do not recommend), and the only thing that really piqued my interest was those birds and the claims from the girl acting as the owner. She claimed that the pair of birds will be monogamous for life.  She added, "If one dies, the other will die like a week later." Later on in the movie, supposedly one of the birds died, and then the other (sure enough) supposedly died within a week.Now, I know not to just trust a movie to truly provide factual information of any sort, so I've been searching online for a while now with no results. And that's why I've come here.My two questions:1. What kind of bird are those pair of birds in the images linked to above?2. Are the girl's claims true?Thank you for your time and any help!</blockquote>
