Cockatiels make a wonderful hobby and wonderful pets!
For those who want to handle their birds often, we suggest hand-tamed Cockatiels. Please research through reading, the internet, and asking questions of pet shop clerks before purchasing a Cockatiel. The more you know and understand about these wonderful birds the better relationship you and your Cockatiel will have with each other.
If you click on our photos; you will have a super close-up.
We no longer breed Cockatiels. All are still welcomed to join our chat group The OC Club- Our Cockatiels Club.
When we sold all our Cockatiels, we kept one cockatiel for a pet, Snowy the 3rd, an albino. Snowy 3rd is the granddaughter of the albino that was part of our original stock.
We are interested in hearing stories (even fun stories) and tips about your birds. Stories and tips about any kind of birds.
Questions and tips about caring for Cockatiels, Parakeets and other birds are welcomed at our chat group; The OC Club- Our Cockatiels Club
Mr. Favorite needs a new home.
He is a Gray Male Cockatiel and about 2 or 3 years old.
Says "Pretty bird" and does a wolf whistle.
Mr. Favorite was hand-fed and is hand-tamed.
The reason we are selling him is we have enough male breeding "greys".
Also, the ones we raise for breeding, I like to record who their parents are and we forgot to do that with Mr. Favorite.
Soon we will be advertising offline for $50.
We have decided to give an Online discount.
For any person mentioning they found out about this online,
your special online price is $30.
Cash only and pick of Mr. Favorite is in our Auburn Maine home.
For more info, reply to this e-mail send us a private e-mail or call us at 207-783-5748.
This is an interesting and helpful article for those bringing a second Cockatiel into the home! Also, at that blog; I added a brief helpful thought to the comments section.
We currently have 4 pairs of Cockatiels breeding. Already 6 eggs from 3 pairs have been laid with more yet to come.
Their prices will be &60 starting. (If members of our Yahoo group a possible $10 discount).
We expect a variety of colors in our Cockatiels because the breeding Cockatiels are Whiteface, Lutino, Pearl, regular grey, etc. most with split genes to other colors.
Because they were hand-fed and are hand-tamed, these Cockatiels make great pets.
Here is the information on the 2 Cockatiels for sale at $60 each: Hatched Approximate age For breeders: Split to : Grey Cockatiel Jan. 2009 1 1/2 years old. Lutino/Pied Grey Cockatiel Aug. 2009 1 year old Unsure*
* unsure because the one time when we tried open breeding in our table-top flight cage.... the Cockatiels kept trying to take over each other's nestboxes and sit on another's eggs.
All other Cockatiels are still priced as the previous post (June 22, 2010).
$200 and up all Whieface mutations (no orange spot on cheeks)
$200 and up for hens (mostly Lutino's and Pearls)
Note: Which Tiels we would sell is our choice. some are nesting and therefore not available. The reason the prices are higher then in the past is these birds are our breeding stock and we need enough money from selling any one of them to then replace it with a new purchase on our part.
Delivery is temporarily suspended since we currently do not have a working vehicle. All Purchases will be done at our Auburn home. Remember since we do not normally ship our birds;you or a friend normally would need to pick themup here in ourAuburn Mainehome. If you know what you want and are not particular about personally picking out your Cockatiel here is an exception to us not delivering our birds: With an extra fee to be deposited (to be discussed by e-mail)by money-order or check and only the exact amount. Then when it clears we will drive and deliver your bird(within certain area)once we know the check or money order deposit has cleared our bank. This deposited delivery fee will depend on the distance from our home that we have to travel and will be determined by us. We will let any customer desiring us to deliver birds to them if we feel the distance is reasonable for us to travel and how much the fee will be after double checking maps for the time to travel. Deposited fees for local deliveries (Lewiston-Auburn) will start at $20 but might be higher depending where in the L-A area the customer is. Outside of town will definitely have higher deposited fees.. Eventually I will create standard fees for various distances. We will NEVER deliver on Sunday! Once we have left our home to deliver one or more birds to you; the deposited delivery fee is non-refundable.
Note: This local delivery service is suspended during the Snow season, the winter. We will not be delivering during the snow seasonbecause we do not want to be traveling in bad dangerous weatherand during the winter weather is unpredictable.
During the winter you or a friend need to cometo our Auburn home to purchase your bird.
Another Note: Most of the timePet shopscharge much more for Cockatiels then us So depending where we are delivering sometimes even with the delivery price included a Cockatiel will still come out the same price or lower then the Pet Shops. Note: We are no longer selling Parakeets. Sincerely, Bill & Rosemary
We have decided for the right price to sell all of our Parakeets and mainly focus on Cockatiels. Since all of our birds are in our dining area we need to make more space so theparakeets are going.
The twelve parakeets are a variety of colors. About 6 of them were even bred, hatched and hand-fed at our home. Within the twelve; 3 of the parakeets are albino but not hand-fed.
We are selling all 12 with the cage they are within.
We have decided the right price is $160.
We are planning to advertise in other methods also so if you interested and are within driving distance of Auburn Maine, please send a message immediately to us either through this group, or by e-mail to PastorBill3rd@JesusAnswers.com or call us in the later afternoons and evenings at 207-783-5748. Thank you.
This particular Cockatiel is EXTRA tame because besides being hand-fed; we have been handling it more then most of our birds.
We were selling her (no sex guarantee) for $60 but since we are going to keep her for breeding stock; the only way would sell her(?) now is if we were offered over $100.
Currently no Cockatiels are for sale at our regular prices.
Currently, those older chicks (a Lutino Cockatiels & Parakeets -mostly blue) we had for sale we decided to keep a while longer.
In a month or two we will consider putting them up for sale again. We will announce them for sale first in Our Cockatiels Club chat group then here in this blog. After that also online in Hoobly & Kijiji and finally in Uncle Henry's which is a local USA NorthEastern want ads publication.
So if you are waiting for a deal on pet birds that is better then the Pet shops, keep your eyes open to this blog or even join Our Cockatiels Club.
We are considering allowing deposits. This would be discussed with the potential customer who is willing to wait until the bird they desire is ready and weaned.
Happy Birding to you All! Bill & Rosemary Mazzulla
PS Since we do not ship our birds the buyer or a friend of the buyer would have to be able to come to our Auburn Maine home to purchase and pick up the bird(s). Contact made by phone or e-mail and appointment is required.
We have currently lowered the prices of our grey and also our Lutino Cockatiels down to $30 each! This is a fairly recent photo of some of our youngest Cockatiels.
For a much larger photo with more close-up details; you may left-click on the photos with your mouse.
Note: Birds are to be purchased and picked up in our Auburn, Maine home.
but will only sell them for the right higher price!
For other color variety of Parakeets ask what we have available and then make us an offer. The offer must be over the $10 price that we ask for our regular green Parakeets. If we like the offer we will accept it, if not we will make a counter-offer for a price for you to purchase these special Parakeets.
Note:
Currently we are not selling
any of our white Parakeets.
These 2 Parakeet chicks are 7 days and 9 days old.
They are from a brood of 5 hatched and possibly 2 more (2 eggs due to hatch soon).
We always take them out of the nest eventually and hand-feed our Cockatiel and Parakeet chicks to make them tame. Sometimes, as in this case, we removed the 2 oldest a little sooner for hand-feeding because the smallest, youngest chicks could not compete for food with these two older baby chicks. So now we are hand-feeding these two and Momma Parakeet is feeding her other 3 while all of us are waiting to see if the last 2 eggs will hatch. Oh and the Daddy Parakeet feeds Momma by regurgitating it into her mouth and then Momma Parakeet she feeds her babies the same way.
Some males and females just take turns keeping the babies warm and feeding them.
In other pairs the Mother Hen stays in the nest almost constantly and the male bird feeds the Mother (often at the nest-box entrance) who in turn feeds her baby chicks. Both methods are true of Parakeets and Cockatiels. It just depends on the pair of birds.
We currently have Lutinos available for homes and due to the economy we are willing to go way lower for you. These Lutino Cockatiels are hand-fed, hand-tamed! They are now priced at $60 each.
If you buy 2 or more we will give you a $5 discount on each Lutino Cockatiel.
So this is what the prices will be:
1 Lutino Cockatiel $60
2 Lutino Cockatiels $55 each = $110
3 Lutino Cockatiels $55 each = $165
A great bargain since in Pet shops Regular Grey Cockatiels are usually priced at $90 or more and Color mutations are as high 139.99. Remember, Lutino cockatiels are usually priced on the higher side then regular greys.So $60 is a great bargain and if you visit our Yahoo group and join our Club $50 is an even better bargain!
Non-members if you join The OC Club - Our Cockatiels Club before purchasing one of our birds then you too can receive the $10 discount for any Cockatiel over $50
o since they are priced at $60 each that would bring our Cockatiels Sdown to $50 each once you become a member!
We do not ship. Purchase and pick up is done by appointment in our Auburn, Maine home.
links together blogs by amateur to professional birdwatchers. Some breed pet birds and offer them for sale. The blogs are fun to read by anyone that has pet birds or is just interested in the subject. They provide information on nutritional needs for the different bird species, shelter requirements (cage size), genetics of breeding for the different color mutations, and stories about pet birds. They are usually accompanied by photos. You're sure to enjoy surfing this webring even if you have just a casual interest in birds.
We have 4 Lutinos available for homes and due to the economy we are willing to go way lower for you. These Lutino Cockatiels are hand-fed, hand-tamed! They are now priced at $60 each.
With the $10 member discount that brings them down to $50 each. A great bargain since in Pet shops Regular Grey Cockatiels are usually priced at $90 or more and Color mutations are as high 139.99. Remember, Lutino cockatiels are usually priced on the higher side then regular greys. So $60 is a great bargain and if you visit our Yahoo group and join our Club $50 is an even better bargain!

If you breed and band your birds or if you have a bird with a bandLeg Band Numbersis a good group to join and record your ownership (via it's leg band number) of your bird in case it ever flies away by accident. If your bird does fly away, whether you previously recorded its leg band ID within the group, you can still post your bird's band number in hopes somebody finds it and has the integrity to look for the bird's original owner.
Also, if you are not the first owner; sometimes the group owner will be able to attempt some investigating of the history of your bird, using the leg band number.
Seeds and pellets are OK but if possible it should be supplemented with a variety of fruit and vegetables in a Cockatiel's diet.
Here are some guidelines about food:
1. Most vegetables and fresh fruit are good for Cockatiels. Our Cockatiels love the watermelon rind for one example.
2. Eggs - Eggs can be fried or boiled (no salt, no avocados) 3. Milk - food soaked in Milk (like grain breads) Cheese also but not spicy or sharp cheeses! Eggs, Milk and Cheese are the only non-plant proteins that are allowed as far as I know.
4. Bread - Best if not white bread but any bread that is less processed and grainy.
5. Our birds love Cereal (any cereal with grains but not sweet cereals) A Cockatiel probably would probably like sugary cereals but it is not good for them.
6. Stay away from anything high in sugar.
7. Stay away from foods high in sodium, This includes No MSG and all of the sodium by-products.
8. I have also read that the tomato stems, tomato plant and fresh tomatoes can be dangerous for Cockatiels. Well-cooked spaghetti sauce is probably OK but if even one piece of tomato did not cook well it could be dangerous and if using cans it might have sodium or sodium by-products which are also bad for Cockatiels. So to be on the safe side we give our birds plain cooked spaghetti or plain cooked noodles for a occasional treat before we add any flavoring or sauce to our portions.
9. Toxic foods are avocados, chocolate (in any form), anything with caffeine (including coffee and soft drinks) Alcohol is strictly off-limits!
Since GeoCities is probably closing out their sites before the end of the year, if you want to read all the info on that web-page I recommend that you do it soon.
