Tweety is a girl

2007-06-04T10:24:00.000-07:00

Well found out yesterday... Tweety is a girl.. she dropped an egg.. no wonder she has been so tough to train. I have read the females were tougher then the males..

Tweety's latest

Ok for the latest Tweety (the 1st one) has gone to live with another family.. We named "Baby" Tweety also so as not go get anyone confused from now on "Baby" will be known as Tweety and still lives with me..

Tweety is learning how to whistle and slowly learning how to play peekaboo.

Tweety has a new brother

Baby for lack of a better name is Tweety's new brother he is only 3 weeks old and already out weighs Tweety by 20 grams. I wonder it Tweety is a runt.. Is that possible in cockatiels?

Tweety Weaned

2005-05-17T19:40:00.000-07:00

Well Tweety has decided he was tired of the formula.. or waiting to be fed.. he is now eating seeds on his own.. and I was worried about the weaning process, being the 1st time for me. I went to a good bird store and the woman was very helpfull in giving me what I needed to get him weaned but I was told I needed to mix the stuff with water and put in a dish on the bottom of his cage. I never got to that point I had left a dish of seed in his cage and he just started on his own.

Tweety Take Flight

2005-04-02T13:28:00.000-08:00

Tweety took flight today so wings got clipped this is at 40 days old. Just about all of his feathers have grown out.. there are still a few bald spots on his wings. For some reason his father plucked out the feathers on his wing and broke ALL of his flight feathers to the point that some were bleeding. Does anyone know why his father would have done that? I thought that maybe it was because Tweety may be a male and his father didn't want the competition.

Cockatiel Stuff I currently have 3 cockatiels a male named Stanley and a female named Kiwi. They just had a new baby we have named Tweety who today is 37 days old.. I have been currently hand feeding him 1st to learn how and second to get Tweety away from Stanley who had been breaking and pulling out all Tweety's feathers. Feeding Tweety has become a real treat for me.
