Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / September 2005Cockatiel & Yorkie
I recently acquire a cockatiel. Actually I found it at a yard sale. The poor thing was living in horrible conditions. I paid 5.00 for it. I can't believe the change in the cockatiel, in just two weeks. Seems so much happier. I don't think he knew there was such a thing as food, water, and treats. Let alone toys. My problem is, I have a 4 year old Yorkie. I have been trying to acquaint Shene and Brezer. Shene the yorkie is having no part of that. She is spoiled rotten. Never had to share our affections with any thing or one. Shene tried to remove Brezer head this evening. Is there a magical trick to solving this problem? Brezer doesn't seem to be bothered by Shene. Just the opposite with Shene. Brezer is driving her nuts. I really don't want to give up Brezer, but I don't want Shene to change from a sweet little companion, to a bird eater. Thank you if anyone has any suggestions Connie Shene probably thinks of the bird as a "toy", since your dog has never been exposed to another pet. Watch the bird carefully when out in the same room as the dog. Birds can be very curious creatures and may be fascinated by Shene, and visa versa. Glad you rescued the cockatiel from an uncaring environment. Just hope that it works out for you and Shene. Sugar's mom > I recently acquire a cockatiel.

Our terrier chases our cockatiels if they get to close to the floor. Fun toys that fly are irresistable. > I recently acquire a cockatiel.

It's really easy to come here and say how awful the birds life was before you, the 'god of goodness' came along and saved it. but you don't really know anything at all about it's life do you? The bird is happier now simply because it is getting more familiar and comfortable with it's new surroundings. - You've never seen how it behaved in it's old surroundings. ZQ Hey, dude, the bird was in a garage sale and was not wanted. Don't you get it? Da, da, and da. That is a "no brainer". Hello! > > I recently acquire a cockatiel.

Some people make the mistake of buying a bird then find out they do not have feelings, or time for the bird. As a result the bird is neglected and unloved. She said it was in really horrible conditions. Would you want that for your life? Connie did a "good deed" by buying this bird for the $5.00. In the pet stores Cockatiels sell for $80.00 and that does not include the cage. Connie got a really good deal. It is a living being that was in need of some love and care. Let's give her a big hug and applause! Go Connie, you are great! Sugar's mom > Hey, ZQ, the bird was in a yard sale and was not wanted. Don't you get > it? Da, da, and da. That is a "no brainer".

Birds get bought and sold every day for many reasons. The fact that it was sold at a garage sale means absolutely nothing and why it was sold is not known. The fact that Connie needs to have her ego stroked on usenet for reasons she created in her own little mind is just plain sad. > Don't you get > it? I do, but it's obvious that you don't and never will. ZQ Thanks everyone for your comments. Well except for one. Maybe ZQ is having a bad day. I am relieved to know that there are other terriers acting the same way, or as bad. Back to ZQ, I do think I can pat myself on the back some. When you seen a beautiful bird, in a cage, that is all rusted, plus filthy, you do what you can. He had no food, water or toys. No paper on the bottom of the cage. Just piles and piles of waste. The cups were so coated with dirt and grime, scraping and scrubbing didn't touch it. The food that was in a plastic container was full of cock roaches. Never heard a sound out of him for days. He acted like he didn't know what food, gravel or a bath was. Now he jabbers all the time. Today I was thrilled, he actually sit on my hand for a while. The town I live in is not very large. Where I found him, I can guarantee he didn't have a good home. Would you sell your bird(s) at a yard sale for what ever. If I had offered 1.00 for him, they would have accepted it. Again, I feel good about what I did, and doing. Also, thanks again for the feed back. I enjoy your group. Connie from Kansas Very nice Connie. This is good for both of you.
