Do you trim olives claws?

Do you trim olives claws?

Yes, I do. Usually every 2 or 3 weeks with nail clipers since there's not much to wear them down in a world of sofas and carpet!

Coco has gone bald!

I have a few that look like they need to visit the salon. Skye looks the worst, he had a rough molt.

are you gonna? If you don't wanna spend $, maybe s\he would trade ya for a few. if you could part with a few.

She only wants $10 each, so that's reasonable. I haven't decided if I'm going to message her or not.

Serin beat me to it, but I was gonna say, that's not actually a bad price Even 'fancy' cockatiels can cost quite a bit.

Yeah. I want another tame bird. A conure is my first choice but they are so high as to be mostly out of my price range. I am sort of considering another cockatiel, though at a shop I visited yesterday even they were $250.

Pigeons really can't be beat price wise... Olive was $15 and every bit as loving.

I'm gonna stop by the shop she came from tomorrow to get her more food, not going to get any more pigeons - we tried that with Rowan and I think everyone is more at ease with just the one - but maybe they will have cockatiels or conures... their prices are usually much lower than the big name pet shops.

In molt my pigeons feathers usually get stuck on the walls and there is a huge massive pile of feathers on the loft floor. Maybe I should start collecting them in case I want to do something artsy with them.
