A baby monitor captured a profoundly beautiful moment between twins. In the video, 18-month-old sisters Ever and Shiloh, who spent the day apart for the first time in their lives, stand in their cribs holding hands, hugging and giggling in their nursery.

Birds can be pretty amazing companions, many birds live a lot longer than dogs, giving you a buddy for life depending on when you buy one. Some parrots can live up to 50 years, while the longest living cockatoo lived to be 82-years-old, which is why if you get one of these amazing talking feathered friends, you should make plans to put them in your will. Literally, it's advised that you put these long living birds in your will so there's a plan in place.But their long lifespan isn't the reason people can't get enough of these birds as pets. Just like children, these birds learn to mimic what you say and how you say it, which allows them to engage in endearing moments. In a video compilation uploaded to social media by @themothergothel, you get to see their adorable behavior play out in front of you. A blue ringneck parrot is captured loving on some brand new baby birds and it's the sweetest thing.

Tiny 4-Pound Miniature Poodle Is Searching For A Home

Having twins means double the fun, and double the pressure. It’s a fairly known rule to name twins in a way that honors their unique bond, but that can lead to overly cutesy pairings that feel more appropriate for nursery rhyme characters than actual people. Plus, it’s equally important for the names to acknowledge each twin’s individuality. Again, these are people—not a matching set of dolls. Finding the twin baby name balance is easier said than done, for sure. Luckily, there are several ways to do this. Names can be linked by style, sound or meaning, according to the baby name website Nameberry. For example, two names that share a classic style would be Elizabeth and Edward, whereas Ione and Lionel share a similar rhythm. And Frederica and Milo seem to share nothing in common, but both mean “peaceful.” Over on the /NameNerds subreddit, one person asked folks to share their favorite twin name pairings, and the answers did not disappoint. 

Naming twins is an art. Here are some twin names people say are the best they've ever heard.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on December 6, 2022. It has since been updated. Briana and Brittany Deane hated each others' boyfriends as teenagers. "So often, we were in relationships with singletons who didn't understand our twin sister bond," Briana, one half of the identical twin sisters pair, told Insider. Deep down, the sisters nurtured a shared dream of marrying a set of identical twin brothers. "I think there was some underlying stress that if one of us got too serious with a singleton guy, then it would ruin this dream we had, which was always our hope, even though others told us it was unrealistic," Brittany said. So when Briana and Brittany met identical twins Josh and Jeremy Salyers at the 2017 Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, they knew they'd found something special.

Twin sisters married twin brothers. Their kids are technically cousins but genetically brothers.

Although it shouldn’t be like that, humans are often the worst enemies of dogs and they prove that every day with their cruel actions. Abandonment, neglect, and abuse are some of them, but there are really no limits when it comes to human heartlessness. This is exactly what one...
