Hello and Congrats! What a sweet b-day gift! Talon will need a few days to get accustomed to his new home. Here's a helpful link to get you started.

We'd love to see photos of Talon if you'd like to share.

Hi and welcome to you and Talon.

 

[houndoomwolf]

Thx strudel what bird do you have

 

[strudel]

My birds are listed next to my username, I've got a galah, 2 weiros (cockatiels) and 2 budgies.

 

[houndoomwolf]

Oh ok and nice in totally how mush money did you spent on your birds

 

[Puck]

Less than us Americans spend on Galahs, that's for sure! (Remind me again why I don't live in Australia?) Welcome to you and Talon! Don't try and rush the bonding--I'm sure VERY soon you will be bestest friends.

 

[houndoomwolf]

Oh ok and thx I won't rush

Hehe sorry what I meant by that was galahs (the bird in strudel's avatar) are native to Australia (and very common) and are very inexpensive there while in the US they go for around a thousand dollars to fifteen hundred. And boy do I love those darn pink toos!

 

[houndoomwolf]

Really wow that a lot of money and they are beautiful I'm planning on getting one when I graduate from highschool to college because my house is very small well not that small but kinda

Not very much, but I can't remember. My weiros were free, they were an urgent rehoming, but I've bought them a big cage (they just had a tiny one). My galah was a few hundred or something like that, but that included her outdoor cage/aviary. My budgies were cheap, they don't cost much here (like $20, something like that), main expense again is their cages. My birds have indoor and outdoor (patio) cages and I've got a big aviary I have yet to set up outside. I've got cages everywhere. It's quite handy when you need to clean something, they've always got somewhere to hang out. All of my birds are "cheap" (cheep cheep) here, lots of them for adoption and they are "local", not expensive like macaws and exotic species.
