At this time, he is almost 9 and, no matter where we go in town, he wants to go by the pet shop to look at the birds.... or he wants to go by the groomers shop cause she has birds.... and all he talks about is his Memere (grandmas) 2 pet cockatiels. Believe me, he isn't *bored* with the idea of...

Hi kids!!! So, is NOW a good time to look for budgies for the kiddo? I wanted to make sure I got them around spring time since y'all said this is when they'll be babies.

Yeah, there's a good possibility I'll *inherit* my moms cockatiels.... named Joey and Coquito..... literally dislike both names... :sick

No names yet. We prefer to get around our animals for a bit before we decide what their names are.

OK. I think we'll hold off until spring then. The cage is cleaned up and we've been getting toys for it.

It didn't even cross my mind to ask my indoor bird friend!! Sorry Parront! We have not gotten the bird(s) as of yet. There are still a few conditions the boy hasn't met yet, for us to get him the bird(s). We are still doing research, and he is reading about how to take care of them. Plus, we...

Our PetSmart here is less than a month old, so I'm sure it isn't in the toilet yet..... lol... but we'll look! Thanks for the advice.

Well, that's kind of doubtful.... even though I'm sure the kiddo would love that. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs. We had already agreed that he could have the birds outside of the cage AS LONG AS no other animals are in his room and his bedroom door is closed. So, still one bird or two?

We are shooting for the weekend after next, as next weekend we're having a clutch of eggs hatching :fl:fl:fl

We will be looking for blue ones with as many stripes on their head (closer to the beak) as possible. He really wants blue. I would like a green one. He asked about if getting a boy and a girl in the same cage would make babies. I told him they'd have little eggs we could eat, then he could...

Thank you very much! I'm not sure kiddo really cares about the sex, other than wanting something pretty. ha!

And the green ones?

Thank you very much! We are already toy crazed, having spent about 2 hours checking out toys online last night..... kiddo is starting to read up on keets and is thrilled.

I absolutely believe that cockatiels can be terrific birds. It's unfortunate my mom has the problems with hers that she does. I chalk it up to being left with non animal lovers while she's been hospitalized numerous times over the life of the birds. It has still made me skittish and turned me...

Oh, we like to live dangerously. We let our dogs lick our faces and don't always remember to wash our hands after collecting eggs. We've played, barefoot, in a mud puddle or 1200! So yeah, the bird(s) will be handled and snuggled and kissed on a daily basis! :D

Thanks for the responses. After a very quick search, I agree. Parakeet/budgies it is. 2 more QUICK questions: 1. Is PetSmart a reliable source for purchasing them? There are no breeders in my area (I'd have to drive almost 2 hours to get one). 2. OR, is there a reliable breeder y'all...

Parakeets and/or budgies. Can they live together?

My 8 year old son has recently been around my moms pair of cockatiels daily for about 3 months. Her birds are aged 11 y/o and about 2.5 y/o. She has raised the 11 y/o from baby and the 2.5 y/o since he was 6 months old. Neither of them are friendly AT ALL, which has kind of scared me off...
