Online special on Cockatiel!

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.

Sincerely,
Bill Mazzulla

Breeders; this male is just the right age to start breeding.
We have more males then we need is why he is for sale.

Their prices will be &60 starting.

More young Tiels on the way!

11-14-2010


We have some more young Tiels on the way.


Of the 2 that hatched we are keeping one for future breeding stock.
At least 3 more eggs SHOULD hatch in the next 2 weeks!


Not decided about whether to sell them to a local pet shop or to try to sell them to individuals to go directly to their new homes.

Handtamed - Grey Cockatiels - $60 each

We currently have 2 

hand-fed, hand-tamed,

grey male Cockatiels 

that we are willing to sell for $60 each.

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).


=======================================================

Cockatiels Available

At this time Cockatiels are priced at:

$150 for male regular greys

$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.

Local (Northern New England) Deliveries

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 them up here in our Auburn Maine home.

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 season because we do not want to be traveling in bad dangerous weather and during the winter weather is unpredictable.


During the winter you or a friend need to come to our Auburn home to purchase your bird.



Another Note:
Most of the time Pet shops charge 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

The Parakeets mentioned in this post are sold!

We are no longer selling parakeets.

From now on we will only be selling Cockatiels!

Old post:

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.

One Lutino (over $100)

We had one Lutino Cockatiel that was available.

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.

One Lutino Cockatiel Available

We have one Lutino Cockatiel that is available.
We are selling it for $60 because they cost well over $100 at most pet shops.

This particular Cockatiel is EXTRA tame because besides being hand-fed;
we have been handling it more then most of our birds.

She (no guarantee on sex) would make a great Christmas present!

Please contact me by e-mail at:
PastorBill3rd@JesusAnswers.com

Keep Your Eyes Open

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.

One Lutino left (for now)

For now we have one Lutino Cockatiel left for sale at $30.

See photo in previous blog post for what a Lutino looks like.

Cockatiels at $30 each

Parakeets

We are no longer selling Parakeets.

Only Cockatiels are for sale.

These 2 regular colored

Parakeets are $10 Each.

They have been hand-fed and are hand-tamed.

They are approximately 2 months old as of today!

We also have 2 blue parakeets from the same brood

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.

Bill & Rosemary Mazzulla

Photos of Lutino Cockatiels for Sale

These are the 3 Cockatiels we currently have on sale for new homes. They are considered a valuable color mutation known as "Lutino" Cockatiels.

Leg Band Group

If you breed and band your birds or if you have a bird with a band Leg Band Numbers is 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.


So here it is:

Food guidelines for Cockatiels

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!

Some of this is from my own studying and my own experience.
Also some of the above information is from a website at:
Caring For Your Cockatiels
http://www.geocities.com/monkman338/Cockatiels.html

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.
