**Ari** (born: April 29, 2016 [age 7) is a green-cheeked conure bird and the first pet of Jaiden Animations. He is also the star of her Twitter and Instagram account with her profile picture being as Ari wearing a bunny hat. Jaiden has had multiple YouTube videos dedicated to and featuring him. She also has another bird named Tofu, whom she got in October 2019.

## Appearance

Ari is a turquoise green-cheeked conure. His gender is unknown, but he is most likely male, due to him having black feet like most of male conures. He has light grey feathers on his stomach and on his cheeks. Besides this, he has primarily cyan-green feathers and grayish-black lining of the ends of his wings.

## Personality

Ari is described by Jaiden to be bratty. She says that he constantly wants love and attention, and screams when he is not given it. He is likes pushing things of counters and flinging fruit everywhere too, showing that he is a troublemaker. Jaiden says that he sometimes just decides not to like things, some of those things being hair products, nail filers, and Jaiden re-filling his water dispenser. He is also fascinated by drawers.

Despite being a big attention seeker and "jealous little punk", according to Jaiden, he is actually quite shy around new people, trying to physically avoid them on multiple instances.

## Relationships

### Jaiden

Jaiden is Ari's rightful owner, and in many of her videos, she pampers him for his birthday, Christmas, etc. Ari seems to have a very close bond with her, acting jealous whenever someone else interacts with her, including Jaiden's mom.

### Tofu

Ari seems to get along with Tofu well, and he is teaching the quiet bird to be more vocal like he is, much to Jaiden's delight. He also feeds her, but Jaiden has said she can't let that happen too often so they don't get too hormonal.

### Baby Jim

Jaiden's friend's bird, Baby Jim, is good friends with Ari, as revealed in Ari's third birthday video. They have been seen grooming each other.

### Jaiden's Mother

Jaiden's mother used to not like the idea of Jaiden getting a bird, until she got Ari. Jaiden's mom was proven wrong because she immediately fell in love with the bird, making some common mistakes along the way. Ari, however, sees Jaiden's mom as competition for Jaiden's love.
