Spent some good time today around quite a few different animals - and I am pretty sure I will wind up with two Cockatiels...or two Parakeets but I think I prefer the 'tiels
The Chinchillas were cute - but I found I really don't want a rodent. People keep telling me that rabbits can be fully house-broken but I've seen too many friends over the years that had house rabbits who were far from that...nope. They had a large number of rabbits of all sizes, shapes and colors.
They had two pair of 'tiels that I am interested in. A bonded male/female pair and a set of females. It was interesting to watch the male warn me when he got nervous with me getting too close - though he was very curious. The two females were less colorful, but more relaxed and I really enjoyed watching them. We will see, I can't get anything for a month or two, so I've time. They have had most of their birds for quite some time so there isn't a rush. They can stay home alone for the weekend, and I already have a place to drop them off for care while I am on vacation.
