Cockatiels
|
Both male and female cockatiels make wonderful pets - the males will learn more complex songs and might attempt to talk but they can be noisy ( please be aware of this if you live in an apartment or are noise sensitive) - the hens will whistle but are generally more quiet. Hens are just as sweet and tame as the males and are a good option if you are looking for quieter pet. Cockatiels are happiest when kept with other cockatiels. They are often less noisy and will be less prone to unwanted behavior like screaming, biting and plucking when kept in pairs or groups. Two cockatiels can be just as tame as a single one as long as you spend time with them ( I give a discount if you purchase two cockatiels instead of just one- which is subject to availability of course!). to have a friend around that they can talk to and turn to when their human is away from home or busy doing other things. My babies are kept in groups since hatch and are still very tame and trusting- they do not get wild or un-social because they have a bird friend - they all love people. Adopting a single bird means that you accept the responsibility to be this birds "mate" for the rest of it's life- cockatiels can live well into their 20s or 30s - birds eat, sleep and play together. Birds feeding their toys (or humans), mating with hands, toys or bells or defending their human against others, screeching, plucking, cage aggression, destructive behavior and depression can all be the result of keeping a single bird. I do not adopt out birds into homes with small cages or single birds into homes where they would be alone for most of the day- I do not sell un-weaned babies - no exceptions! I have 2 Babies available at of Sep21 2021 one cinnamon pearl and one cinnamon pearl pied - they are $275 each or both to the same home for $500 - picture directly below - the left is most likely a boy, with the right one I am not sure of gender yet .

not sure if this boy will stay - he is simply gorgeous - no wonder - his daddy is a Grand Champion - his mother has points ...
a beautiful pied - Taube's son - Taube is one of my best hens- she won many ribbons and one of the sweetest girls around here
the baby cage- plenty of room to play and learn how to fly- the middle partition is now removed for 5ft of flight space - the babies also get free flight time and of course plenty of socialisation with the entire family
