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 
you must be excited finally being able to see themI am going to go and see the tiels today
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.
Yes - fingers crossedI can only imagine what a huge disappointment it is expecting to visit the birds you are getting and coming home with nonebut hopefully in a few weeks the others will be healthy and you can bring them home.
Thanks a lot for the nice words MossybirdI read through your story and I must say you got some sad news. But its best to be on the safe side. You wouldnt want all of your other birds to get sick. Life has a way of throwing some curveballs, but hopefully those birds will be fine. Wishing you the best of luck!
I'm not sure what she is doing.Is she taking them to the vet or did she do an autopsy to see why the one died?
