6 dogs
13 gerbils
1 bunny
2 guinea pigs
2 cockatiels
1 garter
several fish

Congratulations! Do you now have a pair or are they both male/female?

[drache]

they're lovely - congrats on getting Timo
I've never been into captive birds that much
but the rescue has a cockatoo who's living in the store
his/her name is Chicken and s/he likes to cuddle
I never knew birds did that

Hehe ... a punk :D

Toivo is a male(easy to tell because he is not infact a grey, but a Pearl, and only males loose their pearling), Timo is probably a male based on the fact that the store he came from generally only takes males lol, but I have no idea for sure.

Congrats Shayna!! My mom just took in a gorgeous lavender female tiel that one of her co-workers found in their yard!! She is SUCH a love mooch too... (the bird, not my mom. Well, my mom too, but I meant the bird. LOL) She must have been hand raised, she loves to be cuddled and stroked, and she follows my parents all over the house. Her name is Juliet.

Yours are beautiful!!!

lol there cute. Ive got 2 cockatiels atm too. They were unwanted and they are with me temporarily till i find them a new home.
they do have great characters :)

I have two cockatiels also... Popcorn and Smooch!!! your new cockatiel is a male also... his orange cheeks are way too prominent to be a female! and does he talk yet? only the males talk and sing... females just kinda whistle, and lay eggs...

[thinkmore]

Timo hasnt made much for any sound yet, he chattered a little bi with Toivo yesterday, but otherwise he has yet to make a peep lol. Toivo is a chatterbox though, he doesnt actually talk, but has has all kinds of whistles and mimics lol. im sure Timo will start yammering once he settles in more though lol

[Rook]

that was me lol, didnt realize my mom was logged in!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

haha, well, to get them to talk like people you have to kep them away from other birds and mirrors until tehy learn people talk... otherwise... they will sing and whistle but will not mimic humans... its like my birds.. Smooch says all kinds of stuff. Popcorn sings all teh time but he doesnt talk people talk, just bird talk!
