i used to have a cockatiel. my cat ate her. no, not really! there i go trying to talk about my cat again!!!

my bird screamed constantly, so we got rid of her. i can tell you that, cause i think she's thirteen. wait, no she isn't! i don't really care though, because, like i said, she screamed constantly.

I have a cat too. I love my cat :-)
As for cockatiels, mine is very loud. I wouldn't call it screaming what she does but she'll just start making jungle type noises. But the thing is she is very very tame. She'll just sit on my shoulder for quite awhile and she loves to get scratched on the head. Its great! If I had to give up either her or the cat...I'd have a REALLY hard time choosing. Luckily I don't have to make that decision.
But its funny cause as for her and the cat they just avoid each other. Live and let live. lol.

Isn't that better that getting woken up by all of that sqwaking?

I had a Austrailain Red Rumped Parakete, it was a beautiful bird to look at but sometimes noisy. It kinda grew on me and now I really miss his melodic skwaking. We had that bird for 11 years before it died of natural causes. sigh, I'm in the market for a new bird, probably an africain Congo...

I used to have 4 parakeets but they were so messy so I sold them. I got into rodents and reptiles. I nowe have 6 corn snakes, 5 leopard geckos, 4 rats, and 5 mice.

From the begining:
1 Cockatiel named Leo, short for Leoratice, that my aunt gave to my cousin Crystal, who then gave him to me because they had to be stationed to Germany for the military.
After Leo, came Sunny. My dad bought her at a garage sale, that was just MISERABLE. She wanted $15 for her, and she was crippled because she had no perch, and the old lady was mean to her. She is very very cranky, but I can't blame her because she's in pain. She is very affectionate to my dad, because she must know he saved her.
Then along came Sinto, whom an old lady at my church gave to me, that wanted to, because she knew I loved cockatiels, and he was a baby almost.

Now Leo died because he was very old. I cried, because he was my buddy. He didn't like my dad, but LOVED me. He didn't like men very much, but LOVED little girls. He would fly to my head when he was let out of his cage, and he'd preen my hair lol. He'd sing and chirp while he was on my head.

We still have Sunny. She's very cute, but crippled. That's ok though, I am glad she's not mistreated any more, except when the ferrets are running around and jump around her cage just to hear her squawk!

Sinto, I gave him to my best friend Amber, because he was VERY mean, and didn't like any of my family. But he took up to her, so I asked if she'd like him...Now he's hers, and he's got himself a little girlfriend.
