i,m 1 hour from london ontario here is the reply i got from my breeder tonight


Hi Allen, Please don't ask me about the mutations..: ) I am really lost in that department.. Mom is Pearl and Dad is Grey. From the last clutch last Christmas I got 1 Grey and 2 Pearls. I think the Pearls were female. They were really heavy pearled and the last time I heard from the person who got them they kept all their pearls.

Those are good prices but I am in Southern Ontario as well, London is about 3 hrs from me.
so if Mom was a Pearl and Dad was grey any of the greys would be female and the Pearls well mom is pearl and dad would have pearl hidden in him so the Pearl babies good be either male or female

Some of those prices are a litte pricey 125.00 for a pied seems a little much I only paid 75 at my breeders :)

I found a breeder near me on the internet who hand raises her tiels Ollie was 98 all together that includes the dna but I did that myself I know Spike was worth every penny ;) but thats expensive for a pied thats even more then the petstores around here and there usually more expensive

i no my breeder has a common grey for 45 dollars as she has 2 hens with eggs hatching
she wants to sell it so it will not loose the tameness as she hand feeds them from 2-3 weeks of age

When I looked at some tiels, the ones in petsmart where about 200.00 :eek: Does your breeder have a website? I like to look at different breeders websites :)
 
if you look at her site she has a section on rehome your bird here is what it says

Do you need to Re-Home your Bird?



Crazy 4 Birds Aviary is NOT a Bird Rescue.

All our Re-homes are supported from proceeds from our bird sales.
Do you need to re-home your bird? If your moving, can’t handle your bird or give it the time and attention it deserves due to family changes, we here at Crazy 4 Birds will take in your pet bird. We can offer your bird plenty of attention, high quality foods and a safe environment. You’re always welcome to come and visit.
If we find we can’t give your bird the time and attention he personally needs we will contact you to ask your permission to give the bird to a person who has been screened to adopt your bird. Your bird will not be resold or put into a breeding program.
For more info on this matter, please feel free to contact us.
For info on joining our Bird Re-Home list to adopt a bird e-mail us with your phone number and someone will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

ok i just talked to lori and she said the lady who adopted the cockatoo was housing it at her house for a time as she was going through a divorce and her life was centered around 2 great dames she bought she would not pay for food or anything so she found another adopted home and the cockatoo is doing great it is with the new owner all the time it even sits at the breakfast table with the owner the last she heard it was doing great

well when i was talking to my breeder she noticed the lack of weight and lack of feathers she nursed it back to health but her 2 cockatoos kept picking on it so she called the owner she refused to give her money for food and said the bird is yours i don,t want it she she found a good home for it and last we heard it is doing great now i just found out she was supose to give it back to the animal rescue but she never did and my breeder forgot all about that as well
and when my breeder sells you a bird or rehomes she does check on it as well just incase
 
You mean she adopted Kanga out? There is a clause in the rescue's contract that if you adopt a bird from them, you must give it back to them if you can't keep it.
Thats what I got the owner that originally adopted it gave it to the breeder who had it and was taking care of it, the original owner didn't want it back so the breeder adopted it out or rehomed it to someone else.
