Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / May 2004the cockatiel and the dollar bill
Hello bird enthusiast. There are 7 cockatiel eggs in the nesting box of my bird cage. If all those 7 eggs hatch, then I'll have the burden of taking care of 10 cockatiels...oh my. I'm gonna feel like i'm living inside of an aviary. Now my question is, once those eggs hatch(if they do)...can I sell them to a local petshop? or do petshops have their own established suppliers of pets? or do they just breed their own stock? > Hello bird enthusiast. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > local petshop? or do petshops have their own established suppliers of pets? > or do they just breed their own stock? It all depends on the individual stores. Most mom and pop stores would probably be glad to take the birds. I've seen people bring in litters of hamsters to Petco, so they may also have some interest. I'd contact any pet stores well before you need to bring them in so that they can be prepared and so that you have time to find someplace else if they aren't interested. Just don't expect to get much $ for them.

If you have taken the responsibility of allowing your cockatiels too have young, it is your duty to not only hand rear the babies yourself to give them the best chance of finding good owners who will love them, but to advertise and pick potential owners carefully from the people who respond. Do not simply sell to whom ever offers the most money. Vet them carefully, give them plenty of info as regards caring for their new pet, suggest books, ask to see the cage to ensure it is big enough and make sure they know that if it all goes pearshaped in a year or two, if they get divorced, have a baby, move home or develope allergies (the most common excuses to get rid of a pet), that you will gladly have the bird back from them. If you are not prepared to take responsibility for the little lives you caused to be brought into the world, then you ought not to be breeding. Only my opinion of course, based on my own beliefs and actions.

And this is more food for the troll. Even mentioning a troll is nourishment. Pretend it is AIDs and stay away from even mentioning the troll. Just a suggestion. Donald From Mississippi.

Just a suggestion. Might work - but only if we *all* do it.

That gives your opinion as much value as if you had read it in a Dr. Seuss book. SignatureSteve |
