Animal? I have two. One is the Canadian Lynx, and the other is any parrot. We have six parrots (four species - galah, green cheek conure, cockatiel, Quaker) and they are just so intelligent and playful and wonderful.
Season? Fall. Specifically after the wasps go to ground. I loathe wasps. Plus, all the fantastic harvest food.
Holiday? Samhain (October 31.) The turning of the wheel of the year. It always feels like a renewal. Plus it's in the fall which, as I said above, is my favourite season.
Colour? Bright, bright green.
Day of the week? Depends on what my schedule is like!
Flower? Dandelions. Doesn't matter what you do to them, they come back, happy-looking as ever. They provide endless joy to little kids. They're edible (my birds love the greens) and nigh on indestructible.
(Fawkes, Hedwig, and Cinnamon Bun. Fawkes and Hedwig are yellow-sided green cheek conures and CB is a Cinnamon mutation, hence the name.)
(Gallifrey, the galah/rose-breasted cockatoo, and B For, my 19 year old cockatiel. Gallifrey came to us as a self-mutilator six months ago and he's only just starting to let his belly feathers grow in.)

TTC#2 April 2019Season? Summer - love the heat! We'll see if that changes when I am 6 months pregnant.

Often what happens with cockatoos is that they are calm and sweet babies for their first year or two, then they hit puberty and become territorial and aggressive. Lots of people don't know how to handle that (particularly the biting - this bird can generate enough force to break fingers) and so the bird ends up rehomed or locked up and ignored.
Gallifrey is five, so we suspect that's sort of his story but we don't really know all of his history for sure. The way to treat self-mutilation is to give them a LOT to do, particularly preening-type toys (in case their plucking started as overpreening, which is common) and stuff to shred to direct their destructive tendencies towards. Plus lots of love, attention, and a very good diet. When we are home, the birds are usually out. As you can tell from the photos, we have gyms set up for them to play on. They're also allowed on the couch, and they spend a lot of time on us of course.
He's gradually getting better although he's more aggressive towards me for reasons we don't really know but are probably related to his past experiences (they may hold grudges against people who look like someone who treated them badly.) We're working on it. The plucking is very, very slow to improve. It can take years. Prozac is a treatment possibility as well (yes, that prozac) but we're not really intending to look into that for quite a while yet.

Animal? Horses, I actually have a mustang... I adopted her wild and untouched, and did all her training myself. My 2yo DD now leads her everywhere and I can't imagine my life without her. I call her my soul-horse.
Season? Fall, I love the crisp mornings, warm afternoons, beautiful colors, pumpkin spice, Apple picking, pumpkin picking.... So many traditions that I've started with DD.
Holiday? Christmas, I go pretty crazy with decorating, music, movies, cute little family traditions... Can't wait to dress DD and the new LO up!
Color? Purple, everything is purple. I love it.
Day of the week? Friday, because it's one of my days off and I get to sleep in and snuggle with DD.
Flower? Lilacs, super excited my Lilac bushes are starting to bud... Very sad they don't stay in bloom long enough.
