    Jack the Vulture (cockteil)

    This is Jack. He is turning 22 years old this month, and is very sweet. He still likes to fly whenever he can, even though when he walks he hunches over like a vulture.

    Pictures Guessing age/gender of cockatiel?

    I just got my “baby/young” cockatiel! I totally forgot to ask about how old he/she actually is! Any guesses? Also I know you can’t really predict gender before first molt but what do you think? The lady where I got him/her felt around it’s vent and said it’s likely male!
