I might get a bird...........

congrats! birds are fun. i've owned parakeets and tiels. i personally liked the tiels better.

when looking for a healthy bird of any kind always make sure they have all their feathers. a lot of ill tiels go missing the feathers on the back of their heads. make sure the bird doesn't have droopy wings. also make sure they aren't all bunched up under a heat sorce. that's a sign that they aren't feeling too good. if yu want a tame bird make sure they are tame when you buy them. it's a lot of hard work to tame a bird. although taming parakeets is pretty simple. i had my parakeets tame in 5mins.

Male Cockatiels are singers and whristlers.They were voted the number 1 singer and whiristling bird in bird talk magazine.I had a female tiel for a while she was a great pet kari now has her because new apt.rules

Definitely a male cockatiel

If you want a tame bird, go with a smaller personal bird breeder, or a mom and pop type store where the babies are hand fed and raised from an early age. Those are usually MUCH tamer than any bird you will buy at a commercial pet store.

i think i´m going towards the tiel...........

i was between a red canary, a blue or white parakeet, or a yellow or white tiel, now i´ve went to see some tiels and i´m in love now i just need to decide which one, i went to this "breeder" (since we dont have like professional breeders here) but is a lady that breeds responsibly i´ve seen her birds, and she hand feeds them adn handles them so i just need to pick up one.............well it also depends if hubby likes them, well, not that much LOL anyway

i cant wait!!!

this lady has all yellow ones, a couple white ones, some typical gray yellow, one i now know are called pearl, adn a couple more all dark gray, really nice birds, i´ll see if she can give me a discount and get 2 LOL

Well do you want the bird to bond with YOU? Because if you get two birds, they tend to bond with each other more than you. So if you want a bird that bonds with you, I would just get one, for now anyway.
