Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Well, our mail got delayed for several days and then when I downloaded it said it came through, but couldn't unzip and to do it all over again - finally got it on the 6th try using my husband's computer! Wouldn't you know I had several messages in that packet too! It had been held up for days due to BBS troubles. Anyway, I took a bird friend and we went to the breeders' last Thursday. I don't know what was going on, but the older birds were definitely NOT the same age - 1-2 mo. difference. One he'd already clipped the wings on and the younger one he hadn't. It (the younger one) was already trying to talk from hearing the cockatoo and parrots in the same building with them, so I wanted that one. I think he wanted to keep that one, for whatever reason, because he tried to talk me out of it by saying the other one was smarter and this one acted stupid, etc.; it would bite, etc.; and when that failed he wanted to clip the wings. I thanked him, but said I didn't like the wings clipped and if I had problems, I'd do it later myself. I've done it on other birds I've had. He got real insistent and was really upset I wouldn't let him. The friend with me said he'd probably have switched them out. Any way, I've got it home and named it Tiki - after the talking cockatoo it was trying to imitate. It comes right to the edge of the cage and just begs for attention and only hollers when it wants me to come over. If I'm out of the room it doesn't holler, but if I walk through or it hears my voice, it will. I can put my hand up to the wire and it'll come over and very gently run it's beak up and down my fingers and hand - hasn't offered to bite yet, thank goodness. It gets really scared when I put my hand in the cage, but did keep after it tonight until it got on my finger without realizing it and then it mouthed my fingers, but no bite! Took my hand out and did the same from outside the cage, so think it will be just fine. I took the lovebird to a local pet store though and traded him in on a peach-capped (?) conure I'd been seeing in there and it wanted attention so bad. Had been a family pet and they traded it for a quaker. He talks a little bit, and is a real character! He will bite hard thou gh if he doesn't want to get off your shoulder. Otherwise, he's just fine. So I went from no conures to TWO in 2 days. A friend brought over a whole stack of books to read, plus the couple I'd gotten, so am on my way. Thanks again for all your help and I'll still be reading and trying to learn from the conference! TTYL....Ruth ...

I would like him to talk outside of hi -> cage. Sometimes when he is on my shoulder or arm he will say Don't b -> be a nice bird. Or he has said hey watcha doing..but mostly he is -> quiet when he is out. Can anyone tell me why this is? does he need -> to gain more confidence or feel more secure to talk outside the -> cage? What can I do to encourage him? -> cindy clifton -> WEll it is in my opinion that they are kinda shy birds... i had a quaker But we had a hard time getting her to talk outside of the cage as well she would only talk when you would be leaving the room or want some attention.. the best this about "Willie"was when i got home from work she would be on top of her cage blowing me kisses and wanting me to come give her a kiss and pet her...She was a real good bird and I miss her alot.. i hope that i will be able to make one of the babies from my breeders a good bird like her.The only advice i can give is to take the bird and shit down with it on your hand at about eye level and just talk to it and maybe it will finnaly come around to talk out side of the cage.. Good luck i am sure you have a very good bird.

I don't know what your are calling cheap, but around here they go for $400. Then I saw another ad for suns for $225. Where I got mine is in Fountain, FL. and I know he does ship. I don't know about the other ad. Don't know who that is. Where I got mine had a 6 mo. old left and still had one he was feeding that wasn't sold. He's got them on eggs again. He raises a lot of different kinds so has more than one pair. If you are interested in either of these numbers, let me know. Later....Ruth ...
