"I usually close it quickly and pretend I didn't see it. When I moved to Vicksburg, I had two cats and a bird. I had cared for several kittens and cats, and I considered myself a pro at caring for animals. Little did I know of the nature of birds. Adopting a sun conure into a house with two cats wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but it was one of the most educational. Sun conures are beautiful parrots about the size of a cockatiel. They typically have brilliant yellow bodies with orange heads and wings in gradated shades of blue and green. He came into our lives when he was just five weeks old."

Opinions please :)

"I'm debating on whether or not I should seperate my birds. I have two tiels, one is about 6 the other will turn two in may. (I just realized that & got that proud parent feeling lol) My younger tiel is the boss in the cage and while they don't fight, she/he does push my older tiel around when it comes to perches and which food bowl he wants to eat out of. I plan on getting a larger cage, about 32' and was thinking of keeping my younger tiel in their current cage and just giving the older tiel the larger cage since she never really comes out & the other is out all day.

The reason I'd like to seperate them would be so maybe my older tiel feels more confident to play with any toy he'd like, and just relax without the other one telling him what to do. And I could also work on him to make him feel comfortable comming outside...I will most likely do the seperation, but what do you think?

Also, does Wayne of Waynes Parrot Stuff still make perches and what not? I just checked his ebay store but its empty, anyone have a link to his site? Thanks in advance :)"

"Does anyone think this cage is too big for my tiels (i have two) space wise?

I bought one from him before and its still great but I want to upgrade their cage.

[EDIT] So I think I will be getting this cage. I wanted to adopt or buy a parrot but I can't find the conure I'd like (I'm also interested in an African Grey), so I will just spend that money on my tiels."

Link goes directly to the video, nothing bad on that page but don't stray around the site too much if you don't want to see some "not safe for work" stuff."
