> for your help! Trena don't forget to quarantine the cockatiel. You take a risk
of losing all birds if you don't. Also sanitize your hands
before picking each bird up until the quarantine is up. I've
gotten mixed responses in the past on how many days to
quarantine. Some say 30, 45 or 60 days. I didn't take any
chances and did it for 60 days. I learned the hard way about 30
yrs ago with my very first bird. I had her for 3 yrs (parakeet)
and put another in her cage and they died 2 days later from
disease that the new bird carried.
Have fun with your new addition!!!
Hit the blue link above and you can email me direct if you'd
like more info. I have a pied male cockatiel who's 2 1/2 and
he's awesome. I've had plenty of lovies too.
