- Riley-white faced grey cockatiel (hatch date 6-28-2014) RIP Halloween-pied cockatiel
Riley is a whitefaced grey cockatiel assumed to be a female because she has bars on her tail feathers but we will know for sure once she has her first molt. She is about 4 weeks old and will be ready to come home in 2-4 weeks or so. I was able to spend an hour and a half with her. I started out with her on my shoulder and after a while set her on the ground to play with her clutch mates and after a while she would walk over to me and climb to my chest or shoulders this went on for a while. I even was able to pet and give her scratches on her head. She is the first bird to let me do this. At one point the breeders let out a linnie with them because he acted as though he really wanted out but soon started attacking the babies and was put back in his cage. However, when he went for Riley, she came to me instead of the breeders leading me to believe she chose me. Right before I left one of the ladies said it’s weird that she will look at me like look me in the face because she won’t do that with either of them. Anyways here are some pictures of Riley. (Her white face is more noticeable when your up close and personal.)
I think she knows who her ne owner is!
