iamnotaparakeet, is that you in the last picture? You look very young. I like all the birds, especially that dark grey one. I had a green budgie a few years ago but had to give it away because my cats were showing too much interest in him. How long do cockatiels usually live? They can fetch a high price here, particular if they have unusual markings.

I've never had much to do with birds but cockatiels would be one of the first type I'd consider if I were to get birds as pets.


That's me. Yes I was younger then, 18 in fact. The dark grey one is Patty, she is seven now - same age as the blue-bird of happiness except Petey is blind and Patty is just fine. I heard Cockatiels can live to be around 20 years age. I don't like carnivorous creatures all that much but hope for the best with your pet cat. Cockatiels cost from $50 to $70 dollars here.

Yes, $50 to $70 here sounds about right for a cockatiel. Sometimes you can buy a pair for $50.

Ok, just be careful about giving too much information, like your full name, and other stuff. Just in case.
