Hi everyone - I just joined the forum. My name is Janet, I live in the UK....England to be precise....and I have a cockatiel called Scout who I haven't had for long. I've so enjoyed him, and am learning all the time about being a bird owner - this site has been great, really informative - and I'm hoping to add a Sun Conure to my flock in the new year as the bird needs to be rehomed.

Welcome to the forums.

Why does the bird need to be rehomed?

[janetafloat]

The original owner travels for her work a lot so her mother has been left holding the bird. The mother has also been left looking after her son's German Shepherd much of the time so the conure is spending far too much time in its cage and is shrieking a lot. Oh, and there's an elderly relative in the house also that really doesn't like the noise. That's the story as I've been told it.

welcome to the forum - looking forward to hearing more about your cockatiel and your future sun conure

Thank you very much...I'm in the early stages of clicker training with my tiel so watch this space!

Welcome to the forums, nice to see another resident of the UK although it doesn't really matter where anybody is from
