we've been searching for some male cockatiels - since we've got 4 females all I keep finding are Babies - none of ours are babies they're all 2 -4 yrs old if not older
well I was on Craigslist and found an Add for 15 Cockatiels, in mutations of white face, Lutino and Pied
he called the number listed on the ad - the lady said she's not sure how many males vs/ female she had but he could take the whole lot for $100.00
and it just happens his Friend had a doctors apt. at the VA(veterans) Hospital today and the lady's house was on the way !!!!
Now i told him I agree it's a great DEAL, BUT my side is we don't need 12-15 UNSEXED birds - the only one's were going to be able to look at and say " okay thats a male" are the white faces(they used to all be breeders so they're of age)
She did send pics but not of all the birds - I only saw 3 white face males
SO that means we're going to have to Decphire between the Males and females of the Pieds and Lutinos - and There is no way to look at them and say okay "thats male" or "thats female" - - IS THERE? an easy non complicated sure fire way LOL
And I sure don't need 12-15 (she wasn't even sure how many she had left) birds on top of the 12 I've already got - - Right now, because I'll be moving Soon - to a bigger house - - BUT thats more to move! and since i'll be moving at the 1st of decemeber I was hoping to get the birds moved as fast as possiable because its gonna be cold
So am I only here when I say my boyfriend just lost his mind! LOL
Granted I can find the females homes with ease I see people all over my area wanting them BUT the point is I try to talk to him about certain birds I see for sale, and it's " no we dont need any right now " or " no thats not really a good deal" ( like with a pair of love birds i found ( i saw one at the pet shop the other day and fell in love with it) the lady wanted 65.00 for BOTH - one is Dutch blue, one is Cinnaman - i looked them up and basic pricing for them around here was 50 bucks and up for ONE
but HE sees somthing he wants and jumps all over it
MEN i swear LOL
ok ok I know not all men are the same
