Wow, this is alot of good, and interesting information!!

First of all, they seem ALOT different than budgies I grew up with lol, they seem very smart!

Are they messy?(Like alot of feathers everywhere, or food everywhere?)

Also where would I find one/some??

When I get enough facts, I need to have a longer talk with my mom about teils.

I quicky asked her last night, all she said was "Maybe, if it isn't a loud bird". I know she loves birds.

I also know that it will be out of the cage for atleast a few hours a day, not all at once, but off and on.

I will probably like to get girls

Any other information is definatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone

*EDIT* What about doves?? I know exactly where I could get some, I heard that they aren't loud, that they just "coo", but I don't know anything else about them, does anyone else?
