Meet Moby! I don't know if it's a she or a he yet but whatever it is, s/he is very sweet and perrrty

He is embarassed to have those baby pics on here cause he was nekkid

But now he is a beautiful baby! He is 1 month old and still growing his feathers..that last pic was last week so now his back feathers are almost all grown in. He is doing well...i handfed him since he was 2 weeks and he is the tamest, sweetest little thing...lets me kiss him all over till i get tired of it lol And he has now learned to fly to me!!! It's very fun and exciting to have a Cockatiel again, and i've never had this coloring before! I think he is a cinnamon pied...or just a pied...im not sure. Anyway Here are pics!

Right now they sing the Andy griffith tune, they say "What are you doing" and they make kissing sounds and say KISS LOL

I just kept repeating it too them

I got mine when they were young too and they pick it up fast!

Moby's coloring is very pretty! We had a cockatiel when I was younger. It loved toast and would land on your piece of toast when you were trying to eat it. Course I think we might have made it very convenient!

Bet that was quite an experience hand-feeding that tiny baby! Looks like you were a great momma!

He is so pretty!

You handfed him? I'm impressed! Is it hard? If I get another bird, it'll be a cockatiel. I love the pied ones but I think I'd like a lutino one.

Thanks!! Actually doing it is not hard but it is time consuming...like feeding a newborn every 2-3 hrs..then that decreases as it gets older. Theres a lot of complications that could happen too..but theres websites and videos to learn from. I raised my cockatiel's babies before yrs ago so i knew but my 1st time i looked all over the web. Lutinos are gorgeous!

Thanks!. That is so funny..they are very nosy and want what you are eating. My cockatiel when i was a kid used to dive right in my food..he would walk all over my plate lol and drink from my cup, whatever i was drinking!

Moby is so cute. l've had two which l brought for my daughter. They are so pleasant and cherisable. That's really cute that you hand fed him.

You definitely have a little boy there. Males are the ones with the bright orange cheeks. Females have very pale ones.
