Well, I finally went into my bird specialty store-I love the people in there, they're awesome. They won't have Senegals until the Summer, and we were talking about different bird breeds. I've come to the conclusion that I most likely will not be able to afford a $500 bird, plus all the stuff for it. They used to not have cockatiels, but they do now...I believe there were 8 or so, and of those only one actually tried to evade me, the rest were curious about me, and absolutely none of them hissed at me. They have several different colors of them, and the highest priced was only $100, being an albino. They looked healthy and happy, and the guy gets them directly from a breeder friend of his. When I get the money up and go for it, I will probably get a cockatiel from him.

Now, I just need to get up the money to make all my purchases..cage, toys, food, supplements...the list goes on. I did see a really nice cage for only $50, with a seed protector, and it was a decent size. Hmm, choices choices...
