[Keet1976]

Just wanted to say. I don't have a tiel yet and not sure if I will get one or not. I have always wanted one. Right now my boys and I will be getting 2 new budgies since our other keet just died. I am thinking about getting a tiel for myself at that time. So I am here to scope out info on them. We have a very nice pet store in our town called Corbin's and they breed their own birdies. We stopped in to check out what they have. They have a few keets from a September hatching (not sure the correct terms) and then they showed us a next box (lifted the lid for us) of babies that will be ready in about a month (which is when I want to get the new birds). Plus they showed me baby tiels without feathers in the nest box, I am not sure when they will be ready.

I am also a member at talk budgies!

Welcome! Cockatiels are great, they offer a whole new experience to budgies. I have both and could never pick a favourite, so i think i will just have to always own a couple of each species. :lol:

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your two babies. I have both as well..8 budgies and two tiels. Feel free to post any questions you have.

Hello Keet, welcome.

Have you considered adopting a rescue? Birds in rescues desperately need homes, and most rescues have loads of Tiels and Budgies.

Hello, welcome to talk cockatiels! You will love it here. I have 5 budgies and 2 cockatiels and love them all. I've only had the cockatiels for 1 week though so I'm defenitly no pro. But they are wonderful. Let us know what you decide.
