Meet Carrington, the Foster Cockatiel

He’ll be staying with us for a few months.
the breeder that I use was in a bit of a pickle with shipping, so I offered to help give him a temporary home until it’s warm enough for him to head to his forever home (for a breeding career 😉).

He’s very quiet so far and seems quite content to sit and beak grind.

He’ll have a cage all to his own, as it is never ever recommended to keep parrots of different species in the same cage.

He's beautiful, maybe it will be a foster fail and he is already in his forever home.:LOL:
My wife was incredibly clear that this was not an option 😂

Carrington is gorgeous. You aren't going to want to let him go when the time comes...
Keenly aware 🤣
Alas, it’ll have to be that way if I want to stay married 😂

I hope he is going to a really good home, it will be traumatic for him to leave you, I don't like the fact that he will be used as a breeder, somehow that makes me feel that he will not get a lot of personal attention.:(
So, you aren’t wrong.
already though, the breeder has taken to my pictures and videos and he just may end up as a pet ;)
He’s a natural pied, but with splits for Ino and White-face; so paired with the right girl I could see why she’d be interested in him.
But he’s just so stink in’ sweet ;)

How old is he?
10 weeks ;)
He wouldn’t be a breeder until a year or so if he goes that way.
I’m going to end up divorced 😅

Maybe she will get attached to him and give in. I started out with 4 from a rescue situation and over a few years it grew to 13, what's a few more :LOL: . My logic is, I care for them, pay the vet bills etc. the spouse does not have to do anything so what's the problem :ROFLMAO:, but I did not have young children around to deal with.
If they didn’t poop “at will” she wouldn’t mind them ;)

Just tell him to be careful, history seems to favor defenestrations o_O
He’s not a Russian oligarch 😁
