Well I am gunna get my next cockateil from the breeder for $30.00 . I can afford that I cannot afford like $160.00 .. Who can? Geeze I am 16 years old. I went in for an interview yesterday for a job. I'll be lucky if I get that let alone be able to pay for a bird that coast like 100+$. That is redicuals. Totaly pets Birds coast $100 + and they are totally terrified of pppl and they arnt tame . So I dont get what you are saying that " birds that coast more are more freindly and tame" ??? Ya right. The bird @ the breeder I know have like 50 cockatiels and they are Cheep, and they are happy. .. Not all breeders that sell animals for cheep are evil
