New in the flock

[smbrds]

Hi. I've had my cockatiel for about 14 years (in October this year) and look forward to many more years with him. I was actually on another forum years ago but they are now no longer active unfortunately. Not many around that are anymore except a few. Anyway, look forward to getting to know everyone's fids.

Hi and welcome to the forum smbrds whats your cockatiels name ? Hope we get to see some pics of him soon. Enjoy the forum

 

[smbrds]

His name is Baby.

Thanks for the welcome. Even though he's going to be 14 this year I still think that's young. Tiels have been living a lot longer than what the books have said.

Welcome!

My cockatiel's name is also baby! Well not really. It's really Dusty, but I also call him Baby or Baby Bird a lot. Also Buster, Birdy, Bird, Mr Bird, D, Little D, Little Buddy and many more

We love bird pictures here by the way!

Very nice. I say Little Buddy too, "my little buddy," Little Birdy, Baby Bird, Baby Birdy, Little Guy. Tiels are little guys to me.

Thanks all for the welcome. I'll post more pics soon.

Thanks. I love your toos. Toos are my favorite. A friend of mine I knew a long time ago had a moluccan and rose-breasted. I really loved the RB2 because he was more "manageable." One day I hope to have an RB2 or citron. Most definitely an RB2 though.

Cockatiels are closely related to toos, so you have a foot in the door! Toos are my favorites as well, though they are an acquired affinity. Very challenging but extraordinarily rewarding!!

Agree. That's right, they are related...! I refer to tiels as their little cousins. I was comfortable around the cockatoos probably because of the somewhat similarity they share in showing emotion (crest, etc.), even though they are 10x of what Baby is. Very true how I have the foot in the door already... Very tempting. For now Baby is my one and only. As a matter of fact, around here aren't very many available RB2s. One day.
