So when I came up with my grand scheme of birds I figured Id have 2 parrotlets. Ricky and Desi would be friends so Id be evened out and everyone would be happy. I was right on the p'lets but Ricky hates desi with a passion. So as I mentioned I was debating getting another Tiel for Desi. I went to a bird fair with no intentions of getting anything at all. Well, I was talking to Daisys breeder (who also happens to breed 'tiels) and playing with all her babies. She always has beautiful mutations and the cutest fabies. I was cuddling with this plain grey baby and this petite litte pearl girl hops out of the cage and looks at me. I thought she was a little baby because shes so petite. Shannon was teling me that shes a special needs baby (my downfall). Turns out when she was starting to get her pinners, her dad ripped them all out. She even still has a little bald spot behind her crest. Since she is scratch and dent (hehehe) shed take $50 for her. Well, I purposely didnt take much with me because I didnt want to buy anything. But she was soo cute and cuddly and her story melted my heart. I told Shannon I only had $30 and she said because she knows Id give her a great home (she saw all Daisys pics lol) that she would take it for her... So I got a new litte baby. She is beautiful and a total cuddler. The whole way ome she curled up on my chest and cuddled and slept. I have her in Lucys old cage till her quarantine and been socialized together and her and Desi will move in together.
She is sweet and cuddly. So teeny. I cant figure out what to name her. Some ideas are Paisley, Lolita, Pippa, Bella (my husbands idea, hehehe). So any help or ideas would be great.
Bird fairs and I are not good for each other. LOL Ricky just doesnt like any of the others. The only thing in the world he ever wants is my husband. If I thought hed like a friend Id get him one, but I just dont think he will. I cant wait to see how her and Desi get along. lol Shes going to end up being "the baby" unesss I name her soon. hehehe
Oh Ricky! Theres a new girl, at least try and be a gentleman

Good luck on choosing a name!
LOL For some reason petshops dont do it for me. i just buy to many toys. But when Im at auctions or bird fairs it goes into overload. Yesterday was a great one too. Alot of the breeders had Christmas specials that were unreal.
normally pet shops dont di it for me either but this is no normal petshop , all the birds are out of their cages and friendly, and the people are so great with the birds
@jess
I wish I had pet stores like that Maybe I'll open my own bird store .... one day when I'm rich and have the life I want and have money to spare :XD:
I wish they had a bird fair like that local to me. The fairs and auctions I go to only sell breeder birds not complaining really though, I just end up buying them and taming them (Pickles is a great example of my £50 well spent!). The national exhibition where I got him was not allowed to sell any hand raised babies. I saw the most sweet and beautiful baby Hahn's and I almost ended up taking one with me but I had Pickles so I was satisfied haha!
I was hoping you'd get another tiel soon but I was in doubt because of hubby hehe. The bald spot will be fine, lutinos have awful bald spots in comparisson. She is absolutely gorgeous though, congratulations!
That's too bad. The one bird fair/auction I attend twice a year sells and auctions off all sorts of birds. I bet you could find almost any type of bird you were looking for, breeders, hand raised babies, etc. I'm hoping I'll find more bird fairs/auctions to go to, just to see what else is out there. I only wish I had someone who was as willing as I to go spend money and time at one!
It's too bad I don't live closer to you Abby, I'd go with you, we would have soo much fun buying birds, we could take my friend as well, she always says "as long as it makes you smile you should get it" about everything .
You shoud come visit. I will show you awesomeplaces!
