:sun: Lyrick was from a local breeder, we gave her a call she told us she had eight of them. She took them all from a cage and put them on a stand, where they all begged for attention! We picked up one after another and asked for kisses (witch was something they were just learning how to do) Lyrick refused to get off Max, and when we stood shoulder to shoulder he jumped on to mine. I got him to step up and I asked for a kiss, He got this really happy really excited look and we all laughed. The breeder wrote down his leg band and we picked him up in two more weeks.

Louie :greycockatiel: whitefaced fallow coackteil was from a breeder who sells to a local total pet. we came to look at a whitefaced cinnamon lutiono female and she had with her three pied boys, Louie, a unknown pied, and the little girl we where looking at. We sat out side and talked for a while, I was looking for a well adjusted youngster that would be willing to try new things. so while outside, Louie fell asleep, the pied started screaming, the girl fluttered around and the unknown climbed around. once we choose Louie she told us how much of a cuddle bug he really is, she was very right!

Yes i have heard of the Oasis, have not been out yet. I heard a rumor they don't adopt out birds any more? Why is that or was it just a rumor?

I moved out of home and wanted a dog, but living in a small townhouse, I just didn't have room, and have neighbours that wouldn't put up with the barking. I began to do some research into birds that can be trained, and fell in love with some videos of Quakers.

Then I went to visit a breeder to check out some Quakers, and they were SO loud, that I knew it wouldn't work. The breeder suggested I look into Green Cheeks, so I came home and did so, fell in love again, found another breeder, and 6 weeks later I had Rory, who fetches, is learning to roll-over and likes to burrow in holes.
