Hi guys and gals.

This is my current family... Just wanted to say hello.

Welcome to the forums! Great to have you here. Beautiful flock, I can't wait to see more of them. And of you.
25 cockatiels is a LOT. But you actually appear to be doing a pretty good job of caring for them all without any major problems.
I look forward to getting to know you :)

Hello there.
Thank you for the reply.

I love the fact you've named all your birds.
About 6 of my Cocktails respond to their name,
but they all still respond to gentleness from Daddy (me).

My Cockatoo, Bonita, is an abused bird that I bought from Craigslist.
He is scared to death of me.

My military macaw, Jacob, is the current love of my life. And control.
This bird was a mean biter but after 5 years of life we get along great.

I can give A lot of tips on how to train mean birds.

I will post different threads for all the birds because
being alone I could surely use some advice often,
And give advice also.

Thanks again for saying hello.

It's nice to talk to another bird lover.
I'm addicted.

Have a great day.

Nice to talk to you too. Thanks for taking in Bonita and Jacob and giving them both second chances, you must have changed their lives forever when you brought them home.
I most likely will enjoy having you around ;)

Wow! awesome flock.
I hope to have twenty-five cockatiels some day and about half a dozen Quakers.

Speaking of mean birds... My B&G is out of control.
He loves to use his foot to make the gesture for, "pet me" and then he will nail me often drawing blood.

Welcome to you and your gorgeous flock! Deep respect for acquiring abused/rescue birds, likely their last chance for love and safety. Sharing your tips and experiences sure to help many in need!
