Greys are very very sensitive parrots; quite demanding and prone to problems if they are not well socialized and raised just right. So, it's good that you decided against that. In my opinion, if you are going to have problems keeping a new bird in a separate cage (peramanently) you should wait until you have a bit more space. Even if you find a 'tiel that is the same age as yours, there is no gaurantee that they will get along. Usually cockatiels and budgies are quite socialable with each other but you never know when a dispute might happen and they will need to be separated. Enjoy the birds you have now and when the time comes to add to the flock, you'll find just the right birds. It's hard, but we all have to practice a lot of restraint so that we can give our existing birds the best life possible. Besides, less birds in the cage means more room for them!

I think even the 26 budgies are going to be cramped in those dimensions. One thing we have to remember about aviaries is that even though they are outside, they're essentially just a really large cage. The difference is that the budgies never get "out of cage" time. This is fine if you've got a huge aviary and not many birds but when you have a smaller aviary with a lot of birds, they're not getting nearly as much space as it looks like. I think the emphasis should be more on providing your current birds with more useable space rather than how many more birds you can justifiably fit into the space you have.

Have any of you seen The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill? It's a documentary about cherry headed conures living in San Francisco; a really touching story! There is also a budgie named smitty, a couple of blue crowned conures, and a section featuring lorikeets at a zoo. I loved it. :-XIt made me all teary but it was beautiful! You can get it on DVD but the website for the movie is here: www.wildparrotsfilm.com/

You've got a big green glob growing in the corner of that cage, Lin. (That's adorable!)

Poor thing. How good of you to rescue him! Will you be releasing him when he's fully recovered?

What gorgeous birds! The nanday is adorable and that cinnamon 'tiel is very unique!! I don't see many blue quakers around either. Well, I don't see any quakers around here as they're illegal. They're so adorable though, I love them.

How cute! I am terrible with names so I will leave that to everyone else. :x Though, you should choose something that can go for either a girl or boy as you won't be able to tell its sex for a few months. How old is he/she?

He's been through a lot and through a lot of homes but he is doing so much better. I've had him for seven months now! Time flies. He is going to be the death of my hearing but I love him!

He's cute, but you're taking a lot of risks with him like this. ): I've seen story after story of owners losing their birds this way, even clipped ones.
