I am new here and think this is a great forum. I live in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. I am 32 years old and have grown up with birds my whole life. My parents have 2 Alexandrine Parakeet Parrots and 2 cockatiels. The cockatiel male has been with us since 1988 and he is still doing great at 22 years of age. The Alexandrine's are a male/female couple (non breeding pair) and we have had them since 1991 (hand raised by us in 1991). They are all hand fed and very sweet birds. Over the last 4-5 years, they have not recieved the attention they deserve and my parents just retired in 2008. They do a lot of traveling and usually bring the birds to my home when they leave (for months at a time each year). I am in the process of moving so we are forced to find our old friends, our birds, a home.
I care very much about these guys and I do not want them to fall into the breeder market....they do not produce anyhow. If there is an aviary or a bird lover who wants a pet, I would love to provide them with any of these guys. The cockatiels are in a large small wire, white cage. The Alexandrine Parakeets are in a large macaw cage (all free of course). If you can provide me with anyone that maybe interested in providing them with homes or even a rescue of some sort, it would be very much appreciated! My email is jacobsruss@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance.
