Those Pictures are just wonderful and your story is great as well. Thanks for sharing. Haven't seen you post in a while, glad to see you back.

Love all my birds old and new

She is keeping me on my toes that is for sure.

Good for Marcus, I knew he would do it. I wonder why he is picking up your first names, and not mommy and daddy, since that is the way you talk to him. Marcus is a character, I too, enjoy reading your post. I know your must be so proud of Marcus. I too wonder how your reading and letter learning was coming along, or did you put that on hold?

Just thinking I may get another tiel one day.

After coming inside, after an exhausted day of being in this tetras heat. I wanted to just lay down on the couch and relax, perhaps catch a small nap before preparing dinner. Val was happy to see me and I gave her and the others some attention, and I said, Mommy has to relax for a bit. Val sounded as if she was bad mouthing me. A little like back talk. She wanted out to play. I said, Mommy will let you out in a little bit. Not wanting Austin and his friends to come home and scare her out the door again. Still just doing her little jabbers. I stretched out on the couch, and she was just jabbering away. I said you are a silly girl, with a little laughter in my voice. She did it again, this time much louder. I began to laugh at her, and she mimicked my laugh exactly. Before we were done, she had me in tears with us laugh with each and at each other. She was so silly. Then I told her I was going to take a nap before Austin came home. She turned her head as if you understood what I was saying. I closed my eyes thankful just to rest a bit. Then she let out a snoring sound. I guess, that is her way of telling me I snore, when I take a nap on the couch. God, I hope I don't sound as bad as she thinks I do. Then she had me laughing at her again. This time she didn't laugh. Needless to say I didn't get a nap and she got out of the cage. My little girl is something else. I just had to share this joy with my forum friends.

thank you Marcus.. She is such a joy. Everyday is a new experience with her.

very pretty, thank you for sharing. Its been years since I had a tiel, and I do miss her.

how many cockatiels do you have?

friendly little cockatiels

watching Rio finally, and laughing at Val, and checking the forum

Do you have a cockatiel?

Hello and welcome. You must have your hands full with all your babies. I have been thinking about adding a U2 to my collection, just not sure about that just now.

X-rated words came from a zon's beak

Sounds like great projects to do with the kids for the fids.

Ugly zons don't exists

Quite nice hearing a zon talk

Open your world to a zon

Many people are owned by a zon.

Is Zons intelligent?

Thanks guys, I should have proof read. yes, I meant baking sheets. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh my goodness, I know you are so excited. I wouldn't want to leave. I wish I would of had more time at the breeders to got to have spent more time with Val. Your baby is so cute.
