BETTY & SUE
Betty and Sue are both 10 year old female cockatiels, normal wild coloration. Betty (pictured in back, yellow crest) is a bit feisty compared to Sue’s more reserved personality, but together they make a happy bonded pair. Sue (pictured in front, yellow eye ring) could definitely be worked with by someone up for a little challenge, but honestly they’d probably be happiest in an aviary without very pushy birds (they really don’t stand up for themselves) or just being cared for as non-touchables. Betty bites very hard for a tiel and really loathes human companionship… We try out best to avoid handling her at all costs because it’s intensely stressful for her. Sue isn’t as stressed and honestly may even learn to enjoy being handled some day.

LANDON
Landon is a male cockatiel of unknown age or history. He was found flying loose and was captured just in time. He’s regained the weight he lost when he was out, and now enjoys flying around the littles room. He will happily eat millet from our hands although is still suspicious of new people. Landon is definitely a bit of a scaredy-cat but has such a good heart and will end up becoming a wonderful companion. He is not the type of bird to flail and run away if you take it slow with him, which makes us think he’s going to be a great bird to spend time with and hand tame when he is ready. He flock calls when we leave him, so we know he gets lonely and wants companions.

DJANGO & OLE
Django and Ole are a male and female pair of 10 year old cockatiels. Django is a pied female and Ole is a normal male. They’re both tame, though Ole is more active and will probably fly away faster than Django! Django is very people oriented and super friendly. She loves to squabble a bit and give attitude like most female tiels, which is really quite funny to see. Her little nibbles don’t hurt at ALL and she’s one of the cutest little things I’ve seen. Ole is a strong protector and clearly a very intelligent guy. He loves to whistle and make sounds, and I bet he could easily be taught to talk with patience. This pair will make a really fun addition to a home looking for a little more liveliness, or even companions for first time bird owners.
