- Riley-white faced grey cockatiel (hatch date 6-28-2014) RIP Halloween-pied cockatiel
So I still have some time before I can bring Riley home but I'm getting ready for her. So far I have a bag of pellets I apparently have the wrong kind as the breeders have her on Zupreem fruitblend and I have Zupreem naturals. Riley is also on seeds as well which will be given in very low quantities once I bring her home. I also have been looking up recipes for birdie bread as thats how the breeders are getting her to eat fruits and veggies. But I have bought her a few new toys and between the 22nd and 25th I will purchasing her new cage. Though not the cage I originally wanted because I realized the ONLY place I could put it would be directly in front of the air conditioner needless to say that is OBVIOUSLY a bad idea. So I am instead going to purchase a different cage that is about the same price but it is not as long as the other one I will look up the dementions later but it is a flight cage so there will be plenty of room for Riley. I have also bought her a water bottle and will be buying new food dishes as I don't care for the plastic ones that are always at the bottom of the cage. So I will be purchasing the metal ones and as per my preferance I will be placing them towards the top of the cage so that Riley cannot go potty in them. Which ALWAYS seems to happen when the food dishes are on the bottom. I can't wait to bring her home. Then I don't have to see her on the breeders schedule (their in idaho until wednesday but do to conflicting work schedules I won't be able to see her when they get back ) I will also be purchasing items to make toys for her.
