I'm still trying to find the perfect home for Kiwi (IRN) 2 years old and Nelson (GCC) also 2.
You can find more info on my other posts on this forum. I'm not looking to find someone to take them together. Lately Kiwi has let it be known that she will not tolerate Nelson near her cage. Up until now she would usually fly off her cage but now she has found her courage and will fight for her territory. I've learned a lot since Doby left my care...one is that he was the shepherd of Nelson. I thought him flying onto the floor and walking around the little ones cages was to forage for something they dropped. I was aware that any time Nelson was on the floor Doby would fly down, I would always intervene because I was worried Doby would hurt Nelson but now I understand...Doby knew Nelson should not go to Kiwis cage. I would love to find someone near me (Birmingham, AL) with GCC experience to take Nelson. Since he tends to be Nippy and a one person guy I don't think a home with small children would work for him. Kiwi is my laid back girl. I am her person and can honestly say she has only bitten me once and that was when I placed her into a larger cage when she was 12 weeks old. She tolerates my grandchildren but is not a fan. When the kids come over I let them hold her once and then put her in her cage so she will feel safe. Someone with at least Cockatiel experience would be good. Someone that could tolerate a lot of noise because the girl can be super loud, definitely NOT an apartment bird. Both these babies spend the day out of the cages and are not clipped. I would prefer their new families would keep them flighted. I'm hoping to get these babies settled before life forces me to keep them in their cages all day.
