As some of you may know I lost one of beloved cockatiels to liver and kidney failure this spring and since the loss of his mate, I knew my male, Boo, would need another companion or two. I am a firm believer that these smaller birds are happier and healthier with companions to hear and interact with, and so after doing a lot of searching, I found a reputable breeder and put my deposit down on these two baby cockatiels.
Say hello to Ash and Ember! Here are pictures of them growing...
Ash is a male whiteface pearl pied, born March 23, 2018 (a day before my birthday!). Ember is a male pastelface pearl born March 30, 2018.
Although I was hoping for at least one female when I placed my deposit down, they did end up being both boys but I will love them nonetheless. Our house will be busy now with 3 boy cockatiels!
The breeder is keeping me updated as they wean and grow. They are being abundance weaned (allowing the bird to decide when its done eating formula) and so I will not be getting them likely until the middle of July. I really appreciate a breeder who lets the bird choose when its ready to grow up!

Ember
I can't wait for them to come home, despite them both being males I think Boo will LOVE having new companions. And of course when they come home I will have to have a proper photo shoot with these guys!
