Pet Cockatiels
Handraised
All our baby Cockatiels for sale as pets are handraised and we have them available most of the year. They are inside the house with my family from the time they are taken from the parents are thus well-adjusted to children and normal household noises and activities.
With winter now long gone and spring well underway we have our best breeding pairs doing their jobs in the nestboxes to provide us with handraised cockatiels for Christmas. I do have pairs currently on eggs while other breeding pairs are already tending young chicks. There will certainly be quite a few babies available over the next few months.
Babies can be viewed prior to weaning and a holding deposit will be accepted if you would like to pre-book one. I am happy to have future owners come in and interact with their baby while it is weaning so there is some bond forming before it goes to its new home. Children especially love to watch them grow up and feather out! This is not necessary of course but the option is available to anyone who is interested.
Handfeeding Regime & Guarantee
Once our Handraised cockatiels reach around 4 – 5 weeks of age they are introduced to a quality seed mix, Vetafarm Nutriblend Pellets plus a variety of soft food like grain bread, corn kernels, endive, bok choy, grated beetroot, broccoli and carrot, sprouts etc. At first it is all play and testing for them so the formula is still fed until they are at least 7-8 weeks old. Once they are capable of cracking the seed and are eating on their own and not begging for formula I then monitor them for a week or so to make sure they are not losing weight and are in fact able to feed and maintain themselves properly.
Some of our Pet Cockatiels for sale are guaranteed sexed birds but unfortunately in some cases it is impossible to determine the sex until they get a bit older. If people are requesting a particular sex then I advise which bird is definitely male and female and let them make the final decision.
If at any stage in the future you are going on holidays and need a bird-sitter then I am happy to have any of my babies return for a visit while you are away. I will provide all the necessary food and full care at a small cost to the owner.
All Cockatiels for sale are guaranteed healthy at the time of sale. If for some reason your bird falls ill or has suspect health problems within the first few weeks and you take it to a vet for consultation and they determine it has a pre-purchased health condition then we will happily exchange the bird for one of equal value. We are happy to provide you with any assistance or advice you require as an ongoing service.
