this is one of my tiels... she is absolutely spoilt rotten. Like all of my birds she has a story lol... Well i was passing through a petshop one day and there was two little white tiels.. one of them had what looked like an eye infection... the other had a bleeding foot and both of them had plucked all of their feathers... i asked the man about it..he couldnt tell me to much... the birds had been dropped of at the front of hes petshop during the night and he has called RSPCA (AND animal shelter which also investigates animal cruelty cases) .. so he was just waiting for them to come pick them up... i waited till they came and asked what was going to happen to to them... the investigator said they would be taken to the vet and if all fine they would be re homed. i asked if everything went okay could i have one... he sed shore wrote down my number... then 2 weeks later called me up and sed i could have her.. i went up that afteernoon and now shes mine. as for the other one hes now blind in one eye.. as it wasnt an eye infection... they believe he had bleach or something sprayed in his eyes... the man who owns the pet shop now has the other one.. hes name is charlie and he comes to work with the man.. and he to is spoilt rotten.

Your girl is gorgeous! She is very lucky that you were there and offered her a home, sadly many birds don't have that second chance. What is her name? I recently sold all my kaks and I miss them so much! Please post more pics of your flock & other animals! My girl in my avatar is also spoiled rotten & she gets annoyed with us when she see's us cuddling another bird.

Hey. thank you for the welcomes. Her name is missy. Shes not impressed, i didnt take her to work today but ive come home and she knows.. she must be able to smell our birds from work..woops.. Yea she is very lucky so is her other sibling... he wonders around the store all day.. I try and take her to work with me but theres somethings i cant do with her on my sholder and if i put her down she spits the dummy.. also she adores other teenagers... so they come in and walk past her cage.. she jumps on to them lol ... unfortunately a few people have tried to walk out with her.. so yea and now its christmas time were flat out and its to much stress having to watch and worry about her.. i would be absolutely devestated if someone took her... i would cry infront of everyone lol I sure do have a full house... could be fuller... Lol Its just after midnight here so i will take some pictures tomorow until then xxx

as promised i have some pictures (sorry its a little late lol) better late then nevere thou.. anyways in my introduction i sed i was getting a new tiel and i did... i got her for my aviary her name is roxy... well before all my birds go in the aviary they get threated for "mega bacteria" which is a yeast infection which is an infection spread really easily and ends up killing your bird...its horrible and a large number of birds have it as it spreads easily.... so off course roxys no different and has gone on her ten day treatment.. how ever she is so lovable... im not the only one who thinks so... so does missy... shes so gorgeous shes not tame but feels safe around missy so if i scratch missy i can give her a scratch if missy is siting on my shoulder roxy will sit on my shoulder.. so hmm im maybe considering keeping her inside.... not only will missy have a friend while im studying and working but i would love another tamed tiel... but not sure as missy is being a little bugger when roxy enters her cage.. outside the cage shes fine but as soon as she goes inside missys cage she does a little hiss and carrys on... so i dont wanna upset missy and i dont want roxy to feel she has to be scared of missy! soooo at the end of the ten days i will decide ... shes is absolutely beatiful i have taken some pics of them to toghter aswell

Are you treating her with Megabac S or with Apple Cider Vinegar? I had Megabacteriosis go through and devastate my flock a couple years ago. I lost heaps of birds and I nearly dismantled my aviaries in dismay. I have managed to get rid of it & now treat all my birds with Apple Cider Vinegar so they don't get the disease.
