I dont have any now but I grew up with Cockatils

I used to teach them to talk, clip there wings but never mate them. I know mine used to love eating fruit, and honey covered birdsead. Gosh that was long ago.
I used to have a parrot also but it died a month after purchase. My dad bought it for me for x-mas from a breeder and it was sick and he didnt know that till it died.
He sued and we got our money back and more.

I will ask my dad about the birds, he still has some. He is a bird lover and knows it all I am sure lol

My uncle has cockatils. He has a male and a female which bred and laid eggs. One egg hatched but the other 2 were no good. From what I understand they're hard to breed.

I like that my uncle doesn't clip their wings...they are aloud to fly around the house. I love that!!!

I just bought a cockatil about one month ago. He's a real sweetie and already wolf whistles for my daughter. Casey Caye also loves to take showers.
