This is Chippy, a grey and white pied female cockatiel. When we got her (she was our first bird) Pet City told us she was male and a chick. She died two months after we got her. I was devastated. When we inspected her body turned out she was elderly. (We had already figured out she was female due to her sounds and behaviour before she died.)

We reckon that she used to be a breeding bird and they sold her to Pet City when she was old and no longer to breed. (Some Breeders do that) But a question lingers in my mind sometimes, what if she is related to Smudge? They look very similar, but its unlikely because the breeder we got Smudge from is a very trustable breeder who gives their birds giant happy cages :)

At least we gave her happy last months. RIP Chippy.


The Photo is of Chippy and My Dad who are both deceased. :(
Dad died last year in November.

Awww I´m very sorry for your loss. A shame the shop lied to you about Chippy (or there was some confusion/error on their part), but nice she was loved for those precious months.

Sorry to hear your dad passed away, I can´t even imagine :(

Big hugs :sadhug:

Thanks, I think they knew though. When we told them what had happened the next time we went to their store to get dog supplies they simply said "You could've just given her back and got refund" but like who does that?! with a pet they have looked after long enough to find its gender..WHATTTT

I am so sorry for your losses. It sounds like a really tough time :sorrow:

I agree on your refund comment. How could you exchange an animal like that... ? hard to understand isn't it.

She was beautiful and well loved for those two months! I’m so sorry about your Dad. We lost Mom last year, too.
