Tikeya'smom, since you seem to be SO concerned about the price, even more than the bird, I would suggest you don't get a bird right now. You have two that need to be worked with and tamed. Work with them first, spend time with them, give them the devotion they need to gain trust in you and your family. I pet bird that fears its human family is a miserable one. Your birds should not fear you. They live with you. They should trust you. Help them gain that trust before going out to get new ones.
You mentioned you cannot afford a tiel at the "normal" price, so you're going to get the $30 one. I ask you, if you cannot afford to buy a tiel, how are you going to afford the vet trips, food, and health care needed with every added pet? When you get a pet, it comes with a bag full of responsibility. The price of the bird itself is not the only price to pay. You will be paying for your bird for years and decades to come, so its a big responsibility. Its not $30 and that's the end of it. Spend time with the birds you already have, and when you are older, have a job and money of your own, and also have the time and patience to spend with a feathered friend, THEN get a bird. We don't want what happened to your rabbit to happen to a new bird.Juat my two cents. If you can't afford for a bird, don't get it. Personally, my parents pay for everything that has to do with my birds (vet trips, toys, food, treats, accessories, everything). I only pay sometimes, but I'm not forced to, as in, if I don't pay, I'm not getting it. (I do it with my own choice.)
