Good cockatiel breeders?

I have an older cockatiel (17 years old) and he doesn't have a friend anymore so I'd like to get a couple more cockatiels.

It's difficult to know who is actually a good breeder though - is anyone able to recommend any? That would be much appreciated as I want to make sure I'm supporting responsible breeders! :)

I'm in Jacksonville, Florida but would be open to shipping as well.

I would encourage you to think about adopting. There are so many cockatiels in need of good homes. And your tiel might appreciate a buddy closer to his own age too. Many rescues list on Petfinder.com.

I tried this myself, apparently I’m just not in a bird adoption area :arghh: Unless it’s chickens. Lots of chickens for adoption within 100 miles.

I have considered adopting, I actually adopted my cockatiel along with his daughter when he was 3 years old. Good point about his age as well.

I've checked out Birds Now too, but the issue is, some of those breeders aren't recommended and some are, I just don't know which ones people have had good experiences with. I'll have to see if I can find some reviews online.
