Thirteen 'tiels??? I can just imagine the noise level when they all get going at once lol. Sometimes it seems BB can make enough racket for thirteen!
Do you wear ear plugs or ear phones?? lmbo.

Yes, the teils are bad enough (at times) but when the Sun conures chime in as well, it sounds like the San Diego zoo around here!!! :18:

My favorite zoo! Vintage commercial with theme song from the late 1970s.

This is our youngest female second hatched to Kiwi and Woody. We have decided to name her Matilda. She is a work in progress and still shy. Unlike her bothers Mr Peanut and Tiki, she has yet to learn to step up. We ( as stand in parents ) when hand feeding have learned a lesson. The NEXT clutch will be handled A LOT more and taught the basics much earlier. That not only makes it easier on us, it's better for the bird as well.

So cute! Love the wings in picture 2!

 

[Txcockatielguy]

TWO male favorites.

OK, my little whiteface guy Buzz here isn't always an angel but he's sure showing his angel wings in this older shot!

The second one is Mr Peanut while we were still hand feeding him. Although he now eats like a horse, he and buzz are about the same size bird.

BUZZ and his bad habit.

While I love this little guy to death, he's developed a (painful) bad habit! When I'm leaning back on the sofa watching TV ( basically not paying attention to him) He'll walk across my stomach and up my chest like he's going to give me a kiss but instead he will pull out a mustache hair!!! I've told him if he does it again, I'm gonna snatch a feather off his crest and see how he likes it!! LMAO! ( Just kidding of coarse .) It's funny now but hurts like you know what for a split second! NO other tiel does that.......Just Buzzy!

Our next two breeding parents (hopefully) already have a rap sheet at a young age!

Buzz: the male is a chronic beard and mustache abuser!

Auzzie: the female has been charged with pooping in her food bowl on an almost nightly basis! The photo is of me talking to her about it and she's obviously embarrassed !

Lets all HOPE there kids don't have these bad habits!

Father and son photos.

Boo in the foreground was the first born on Halloween day last year, He's already a bigger tiel than his dad Kiwi in the background!

FOR ANYONE READING THIS THREAD:

Judging from the numbers, many may look at this tread but I have no way of knowing how many actually follow. Some of you may have noticed that all but two of my posted photos on this thread have dissappeared! I ASSURE you that is not of my doing! This has happened twice and all the mods. even the owner of this forum can't tell me why! It is very disheartening and frustrating to the point that I almost just gave up and quit this site! I've enjoyed meeting (the few of you) I have thru this forum and the simple fact is: I love birds! For THAT reason alone I will hang around but when I do post photos, I sure can't gaurantee how long they will stay up!

With that said: here are my latest two youngsters, Matilda (female) and Peanut (Male).

 

[Scott]

Gorgeous pics, that is a terrific playstand!

Boo's Timeline: Born last year on Halloween, this first picture is his best baby photo! He's turned out to be our best talker and whistler! The second picture was taken August 21 2020.

so cute! I love seeing the progression pictures!

We had a little excitement around here last night along with a scare. We had a very bad electrical storm with thunder and tense lightning nearly all night! To make it worse, we lost power at 4;30pm not long after I got in from work and didn't get it back on for nine hours!!! We keep three of our four youngest tiels in a separate cage and while the power was off they decided to freak out! flapping around and crashing into just about everything in there cage. Our male Teki and the youngest unnamed female suffered a broken blood feather each. We immediately took them out and applied that yellow Styptic powder. It is absolutely the BEST thing for stopping a bird from bleeding! Non of the other birds (including the two boys....our sun conures) made a peep! After we got the young one's settled down, they did fine for the rest of the night.

 

[noodles123]

eek! always scary-- hate broken feathers-- my hands get all shaky and I really have trouble staying calm (not because of the blood-- that doesn't bother me) but because I get so worried/panicked for the bird!

Glad you were able to stop it.

Did you ever read my advice on using albums instead of attachments?
Glad to see you back btw!
