I was looking for some awesome baby cockatiel photos to show my kids
and I found this site that has the best photos
http://www.cockatiel.com/Gallery.html
If you guys know of any other sites where I can see good quality baby

My cockatiel is getting lonely she screams when i leave the room and isn't
happy unless i'm sitting right next to her cage.  I'd let her out more but
my girlfriend has two cats so its not really safe unless they are locked up!
Anyhow a friend of mine has a parakeet they are wanting ...

If you have a cockatiel that has lived in the same cage his whole life
(about 2 years) and try to replace it with a new one that isn't the
same will he be able to get comfy and be able to sleep in his new
cage? or will he completely discard it?

Just came back home to find my cockatiel watching a video about John Kerry!
I am so upset, I don't know what to do.  Should I have a talk with my
cockatiel and ask him why he wants Kerry as President?  Or should I just
ignore it and pretend nothing happened?  He seems to be doing ...

Anyone have any experience with 'tiels and melaleuca oil?  I tried it,
and I'm afraid it made my 9-month-old sick.  I'm wondering how to get
it out of him.
Thanks,

Since he's a worthless nymshifting troll

Passing on a warning:
I got some email that looked like it came from Citibank, asking me to
go online to confirm some account information.  A red flag went up,
but I was interested and looked at the link it asked me to use.

 I just signed up for this newsgroup because after having one years ago i
decided to buy a new one.  I thought I could come here and find out new and
different things for my bird.
ANYWAY

found several tiny packages of crack cocaine in his cage
and lately his cell phone has been ringing off the hook
also I think he may have killed someone
WHAT CAN I DO

Another 'mericun hoax?

There seems to be little or no action in the budgies news group so I
am putting this here ... it should be of interest.  If not .. delete.

Molly, your unprecedented arrogance is probably responsible for your low
popularity rating on the bird newsgroups.
I have given you the facts on sunflower and now YOU have the gall to demand
proof of what is common knowledge in any sunflower growing area.

Actually, this one's real.
A few months ago, my cockatiel decided to start using its breeding box that
I had provided for her.  About the same time, a very juvenile budgerigar
decided it wanted to shack up there too.  There were a few awkward moments

I have tried to keep my cockatiel off the habit of writing for FOX network
but this morning when I cleaned his cage I found THREE TREATMENTS FOR
REALITY SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Ohmigod this is horrible!  :-(
What can I do??

I have a female Pearl cockatiel who is 10 y/o.  She has never had a male
tiel for company, but just recently she has begun acting like she's "in
heat".  That's the only way I can describe it.  She also shreds the paper in
the bottom of her cage and then sits on it like it's a nest.  ...
