Eddie44 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 We have two male Cockatiels that we would give free to a good home. This offer includes the cage, toys and any food that we may have at the time of p/u. We've had these birds for about 15 yrs and I believe I've heard they live 30-50 yrs. Our kids are grown and out of the house so they are just a burden when we want to go away for weekends or vacations. I've seen them for sale from $75-$150 so this is a deal. Let me know if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1EvilC5 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Eddie, the daughter said thanks but no thanks. She thinks they will wake her up at night or early morning. Thanks for the generous offer.Someone jump on these and take them off of Eddie's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the generous offer.Someone jump on these and take them off of Eddie's hands.Do they make a lot of noise or something? How tame are they? Do they get along with other animals? Aren't you all attached to them anymore? How much upkeep are they? I wonder if my cats would like them? (TO WATCH, NOT EAT!!) ARe they temperature sensitive (meaning do you have to keep them indoors at a certain temp or are they acclimated to whatever you keep your house at?) They don't stink do they? How much do you spend on care and vet bills and food and cleaning, etc... Do birds have toys? Do these talk? What are their names? Male, Females? Do they mate? lol... Im just curious folks. Im pretty sure Mark would tell me no, but Im trying to get all the info so I can maybe talk him into it. Im semi-interested right now. Then again, seeing as how I know nearly nothing about them and with all my questions, it may not be a wise thing for me to own them. LOL.

TanyaThere names are CL (for chicken little) and Larry (Bird). Give me a break the kids named them 15 yrs ago They really require minimal care. Feed them every morning and change the cage about once a week. They don't smell but do shed a few feathers now and then but most are contained in the cage. We have never had a health problem so they've never been to the vet. My wife gets their claws and wings cliped 2 or 3 times a year and the bird shop charges her about $20 for both but you can certainly do that yourself with minimal training. Larry was hand trained and would sit on your shoulder, etc but hasn't done that in years. I'm sure they could both be trained to be very friendly out of the cage but with two dogs I really haven't trusted them in years. They don't talk but will mimick whistles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1EvilC5 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Just wanted to thank Eddie for the 2 Cockateils. I was able to pick them up tonight and take them on a long ride to their new home in Gilbert. Now the Catlett's can watch a movie in quiet. Thanks again Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yes it's true, the Zuniga's are proud parents! You're definitely welcome Phil, we're just glad they could get such a good home BTW if you decide to give them back just tie a note with our address around their neck and let them out the back door. As you can tell the wife and kids wanted them, not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
