Welcome Daisy and yes share pics of your feathered flock...

It's good to have you and hope you post often.... We love talkative members..

 

Hi Daisy.  Welcome to our fun group!  I began with 2 cockatiels almost 10 years ago and now have 15 cockatiels, who live in their own separate 8x12 house.  Your pair may become a flock before you know it!  I think that CAG's are a wonderful bird, and would love to have one, but my dogs aren't good with small animals and birds.  Shadow and Cocoa are okay with my cat Simba, but she was here first.  My daughter is 32 and has a CAG and 2 cockatiels, one of which was a son of my original cockatiel pair.  My son is 29 and has had birds also, but had to give them up when he moved to a no pets allowed apartment.  Neither is married right now and no grandchildren.  I live in a small town (Oroville) in north central Washington next to the border with British Columbia.  I grew up here, moved to western Washington for 31 years and then moved back here 4 years ago.  Anyway, welcome again!  Kathy

Thank you Kathy for the welcome. I checked in the nest box today and there is now 5 babies.  2 more hatched this moring and there is 4 eggs left to go in there and i am getting a bit worried. :(  But is trying to be confident.:) I live in North central Idaho so we are not to far apart.:)

Yes, Daisy we are almost neighbors!  I drove through northern Idaho on my way to visit Glacier Park back in 1998, with my original pair of cockatiels.  I bought them the day before I was planning to visit my parents and brother in Oroville, so the first couple of weeks I had them, they saw a lot of interesting places.  If all 9 eggs hatch you may have to help the parents by supplemental handfeeding.  When my cockatiels had 6 babies in a clutch in 2000 I had to feed one of them because she was so much smaller than her brothers who were born 5 days earlier.  Have your cockatiels had babies before?  Kathy 

No this is there first batch. I have all the supplies we need if we need to.  Sound like my traveling CAG's and emil the tiel the greys come from tx went to mich and then i picked them up in mich and brought them to Idaho when they were about 4 months old. then emil was 3 months and brought him from Mich at the same time. they are now going on 4 years. They were the best traveling partners I got video of them on the way home. I always have to go back and watch the little clip.
