Sadly a married couple who my Mum works with have split up. The woman has hand-reared 4 Cockatiels from chicks, 2 lemon cockatiels, 2 pied. She wants them to go to a good home, and has asked for me to have them :p

Sure you will :)

WoW! 4 babies! You're brave-that's a big commitment. I'm sure they are super cute. When will they come home.
They are not babies, the owner hand-reared them from chicks but they are breeding pairs.

I will be going to see them between Christmas and New Year

Wow lucky you. But sad for the couple better get researching :D
Yes very sad

Congrats!

What does 'lemon' refer to, though? Is that another word for a colour, or am I just having a brain fart? ^^
The owner told me that she had two lemon cockatiels and two pied. I typed in lemon cockatiel on google images and this is what I found:

I'm not into that 'lutino' stuff lol.

It's a lutino. Must be yellow ones so that's why he said lemon.
Yes, probably :D

I'm sorry but its bad news.

I went to see the cockatiels the other day, but one of them had died of an unknown reason so the woman said that I shouldn't take any in case the aviary might have a virus, and she wouldn't want the others to get it. She told me to come back in about 3-4 weeks and if they were OK then, I could take them.
