I'm Cindy. I am mommy to 5 beautiful cockatiels that I had raised from the egg. They are 12 years old now. I am also mommy to a 15 year old peach-faced lovebird that I have owned since he was 1 year old, and a 20 year old quaker parrot that I have had since she was 8 weeks old. I joined the forum in hopes of sharing and getting some advice asap on my sick cockatiel, Cozzi, who was diagnosed with heart disease and possibly lung infections. I will post in a separate forum since this is just my introduction. Please check my post about Cozzi, thank you! I am also happy I found the forum, and can't wait to read and share stories with you about our feathered friends
