    Introducing...

    Tandoori Cockatiel!

    S/he came home last night and we've done lots of bonding. Very sweet bird! I got a nice grooming this morning S/he's been eating normally (I was surprised) and s/he would MUCH rather be with me than alone!

    On with the pics! (sorry, I took them while holding Tandoori)








    P.S. For those of you who don't know what Tandoori is, it's an Indian way of cooking in a clay oven. When you have something cooked in it, for instance chicken, you call it Tandoori Chicken. This is my favorite dish at the local Indian restaurant! You pronounce it tan-door-ee.

    S/he is beautiful. Tandoori looks just like my Alex . Congratulations!

    PS. At a glance I'd say Tandoori is a girl. Her cheeks are really dull. Plus, Alex is a girl and her cheeks look identical.

    Here is Alex. This is the best pic I have of her here at work. This was taken when she came home after her overnight stay at the hospital. She almost died, so I think she looks pretty good considering. I think she looks like Tandoori, just older. Alex is definitely a girl, and as you can see that's why I think Tandoori is too.

    Alex does look a lot like Tandoori! I've had this "feeling" that Tandoori is a girl. She had the least yellow out of all of the birds in the clutch, and she has barely made a sound. I've been calling Tandoori a "she" at any rate, and will probably continue this practice unless proved otherwise! I mean, I've got a 50/50 chance, right?

    Thank you, everyone, for welcoming Tandoori!

    Tandori is very pretty. Much like my Fuzzy Grape Nutt. I know she is a girl because she has laid many eggs

    OMG!!!!! Tandoori? HE HE HE!!! That is the CUTEST name, and the funny thing is, I never thought of it. My parents are originally from Pakistan, and our food is very similar to Indian, so we eat *Tandoori Chicken, and Tandoori Naan, and Tandoori everything* quite often. I burst out laughing when I saw what you named her. Very cute.

    Maybe my next tiel will be Biryani or something. *laughs*

    She's adorable!

    Tandoori is cute! I agree with My Peanuts it does look like Tandoori is a female. He/she reminds me alot of my RB cockatiel BirdBird.

    My mom makes that all the time. Have you ever tried ras malai? That's my favorite Indo-Pak desert.

    She is beautiful!!!! Tandoori looks very much like my Milly. I think that she is probably a female, based on the way her tail feathers look. I just went and sneeked a peek at Milly and her tail feathers are identical (notice the "bars" on the underside). I knew for sure when mine were mating and ultimately had those babies!

    Good luck with your new Tiel!!!
