Considering Adding a New Flock Member

It's the only informative and detailed documentary of parrots I could find. Too bad it didn't show cockatiels.

Actually the documentary does indeed show cockatiels. I realize this is a late response but you might want to have a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-5MEXfAMDg

I think said forum member hasn't posted for such a long time. In the name of education why don't you just grant permission for its use now on this forum? I didn't know anything about them until you came on here drawing attention to it. Many people don't know about copyright laws so it could be an innocent mistake.

I really like Red Bellies, though they can sometimes be very shy.
Just whatever you do. Do NOT get a Sun Conure, they are *extremely* loud for such a small animal, not apartment material. I'd say get another 'tiel, they are so sweet and simple, but if you want more of a challenge, I'd say a GCC or Red belly.
