we got a new cockatiel

Okay. So after another visit with Lucille to the vet, we've decided to get another cockatiel. We got her last year, April I think. She was a Petland cockatiel, she chose my husband, literally. ;) The vet said she's aggressive towards her cage because she's wanting to mate and has declared her cage to be her nest and so is protecting it from "danger".

We checked out some different places and we found one that was perfect. I love her wings. She doesn't bite or peck. We did have some trouble getting her into her cage, she wanted to explore first.

hello? who are you? (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/onebunnnywuv/100_0176.jpg)

Lucy and this one (namless right now) have been calling at each other through the house lol. We're keeping the new one in the back room for a quarantine period and then a vet visit before introducing her to Luci.

thanks! I forgot to mention she was a hand fed cockatiel. I'm guessing she's a pied? or partly pied anyway? is that what the grey on her wing means? :) there were 4 to choose from. one grey faced, 1 almost all grey with a bright yellow face, and then 2 yellows (one with lots of grey, and this one). she's sooo friendly. i can't get over it. one of her perches wasn't connected properly, so I put my hand in to fix it and she didn't do anything. try that with Luci and she'll attack your hand lol
