Thanks again. Be Be (Now named Gracie) is doing great and was very comfortable once we got home. She was a big hit with our whole family.
Hi Ginny, It was nice to meet you at the fair. I brought my bird home and she, I think it's a she cause she is so mellow. She fit right in with the rest of my 4 cocatiels and 3 parakeets. I'm so excited about her she is so beautiful!!!!! She or he is very gentle. Anyway just wanted to say I'm trilled with it, whether it's a girl or a boy. Thanks again... Diane
Hi Ginny, thought I would give you an up date on my bird. It is still up in the air if she is a male or female. She makes some noisies, but not quite as much as the males. She will not stay on their cage she is just like my other male that follow my everywhere. At first she didn't want to be scratched, just wanted to be on your hand, now you can't pet her enough. I named her PEACHES cause she so pretty. The vote is still out where it's a male or female. Thanks again, for such a nice pet.......Diane
Hi Ginny,
She got here safe and sound. She is a sweetheart and I adore her already! She is absolutely beautiful too! I've gotten her settled in to her new home and she seems happy right now. Hopefully I will be able to keep her happy too! If I am able to get another bird for a companion for her later on, I will be sure to let you know! Thanks so much for everything!

They are here and sooo cute-the babies are so sweet- except for Stella( the untame breeder sweetie ha ha). She bit down on my palm HARD and would not let go...youch- worse than a macaw nip. But everyone is in their cage, fed, watered and settling in.

Hello Ginny,
You sold us sister cockatiels on Christmas Eve and I just wanted to thank you. Their name are Selene and Eos after the Greek sister goddesses of the morning sun and pale moon light. They are out of their cage every day (if they don't get out they let us know) and have a supervised run of the house. Selene is quiet and likes to play with toys. Eos sings and would rather use me as a toy then anything else. On Saturday mornings they have breakfast with us at the table and have a fondness for plain pancakes. Even if I give them their own to eat they always want to have the ones on are plates. Our family is getting as much enjoyment out of them as they are with us.
Thanks again for the new members to our family,
HI GINNY,
SORRY I DIDN'T EMAIL YOU YESTERDAY ON OUR WAY BACK WE GOT IN TO AND ACCIDENT. MY SON THE BIRD AND MY SELF EVERYONE IS OKAY. THEY HIT US FROM BEHIND A HIT AND RUN WE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL JUST FOR A CHECK UP BUT EVERYONE IS OKAY THE BIRDS ARE BEAUTIFUL.
THANKS ALOT GINNY
hi ginny we made it home fine they are so beatiful thank you again-Tom
Hope you are doing good. Just wanted to tell you the little baby and momma are doing great! Luna the whiteface lutino has fluffed all out and loving flying around the bird room and exploring. The baby is very close to her still and its cute they are together a lot. They are both so pretty. Eating really good. Luna is a little bit of a feisty one and knows how to take care of herself. I let them out every day and they really like to play.
Hi Ginny,
Just wanted to let you know that "Penny" is doing well. She got here fine with no problems. She called out for her old friends for about 15 minutes or so and now she seems to have settled in ok.
Hi Ginny,
Well I have been keeping an eye on those 2 birds and they seem to be doing great. I think they got over the brother and sister crankyness that they had towards each other. They are eating good and actually getting along better now. Other then that they were sleeping on the same perch last night and My mom came over the other day and we cut the other birds nails and while we were at it we looked at No toes he only had 1 long nail so we took care of that for them That must have felt better for both. They do keep losing feathers but not as bad as before.
Thank you so much for 2 sweet and Loving birds that want nothing more then love and food.they also love to play
Thank you so very much

I just wanted to let you know how our little boy was doing. He is the sweetest, most gentle little bird. He has learned to give me kisses now and I am working at teaching him to talk. He was very quiet when he first came to us, but now he sits and talks to the birds outside.
He loves to sit on top of the cage or on the little perch we have on the bay window looking outside. He can do that for hours and just talk to the birds. When I get home from work he is with me a lot through the evening. He loves to sit on my chest and put his little head up under my chin and he wants to have his head rubbed all the time.
He went up to the cabin with us for the first time two weeks ago, and he was a good little traveler and I even took him outside for awhile. I just sat on our bench right outside the door, talked to him very softly and he did really good. He never tried to fly away, and he finally sat up on my shoulder and took a little nap. He was fascinated by the sounds of the birds up there and again enjoyed watching out the window.
He loves his egg and corn mixture but he isn’[t much on the bean mixture. I also presented him with peas, and he didn’t like those either. But he has different kinds of seed mixtures so he is doing good. He has had a few night terrors leading to some bleeding and loss of tail feathers, but we have a nightlight by him and that has helped, plus if he sleeps in the same cage as our other cockatiel, he seems to do better too. Otherwise they have their separate cages.
So, just wanted to let you know how happy I am with him, and what a sweet baby boy he is
Hi Ginny
I named the birds "Sweetie and Pie".
they're doing great and they really eat alot now that they've gotten comfortable here. They get along together well and I"m glad I took 2 now. If you could give me the info on where you buy the foods you sent home with me it would be great.
thanks for everything
Roger
Dear Ginny,
I am totally delighted with the Emerald you sold me last week, whom I have named Laurel (the name of my street). If she turns out to be a boy, he'll be Loren.
I purchased two 'tiels from Ginny and I could not be more happy. Maggie and Spike give me a reason to wake up in the morning. Spike sings in the morning and the evening; I never get tired of listening to him. Maggie is my sweetie pie; she always wants to be with me. Thank you for letting me bring them home. They are much more than pets to me.

I wanted to let you know how the youngin's are doing. Misha is turning out to be quite the whistler. We have learned from my Ellie Mae to whistle quite a bit and the funniest part is it is only done under cover or when nobody is watching. Once someone looks in the general direction of Misha all is quiet. Apparently Misha is a shy bird who doesn't want anyone to see her singing.
Jane
Mitch and I got "Lucy" home safe and sound. She was a little shy at first, but is already very comfortable at her new home. She is a total sweetheart and already plays little games with us. She is just what we were looking for and we are very happy with her. Thank you for all the help and it was great to meet you!
-Amy and Mitch
She is doing wonderfull she is a great bird she loves to eat breakfast with me... hehe she never bites and gives kisses too.. hehe I was wondering also what were her parents if i remember right her dad was white and very pretty.
I promised I would email pictures of the birdies I bought from you. It took me a while, but I finally got around to it. I bought two females back in March. We named our whiteface Luna and the pied Cosmo. I attached a collage of pictures of them for you. They are doing very well, Cosmo is just finishing molting and Luna is just starting I think. I got them a play stand which they do not really like, they much prefer sitting on me or my boyfriends shoulders. Cosmo likes to flip upside down and spread her wings, which we call "big wings" She does it to show off a lot, Luna tries but is not quite as daring, and her wings are usually not spread out as far. Luna is definitely more cuddly and quiet, where as Cosmo is very adventurous and likes to be into everything. Especially to chew on things i'm trying to read, or play with the keyboard as I'm trying to type. They are wonderful birds and have adjusted very well. Just thought I'd let ya know a bit about them.
Just wanted you to know that our new baby bird we got from you is doing wonderful. We are still working out a name. He/she is eating well and very happy and I am just amazed at how tame and loveable it is!
Thank you!
I just thought you would like an update and some pics of the bird I picked up in March. I named him Sprout. He did seem rather lonely at first but my blue parakeet Twitch kept following him everywhere and now they get along great, so he is not so lonely. It acually helped Twitch out too because he is a store bought bird and would not let us touch him much. Within a week of Sprout coming though, he was a completely different bird. Because Twitch wanted to be with Sprout, and Sprout wanted to be with us, Twitch started climbing up our arms and now he even flies to our fingers. It is an amazingly fast turnaround all because of Sprout. :) They even hang out together on the legs of my computer chair when I am working, with me twirling above them. The cool thing about that is parakeets are known for hating to have anything above them. You can't even put their cages on the floor.
Anyway, back to Sprout. You were right! He is just like a little puppy. He follows me everywhere. He is so cute when he waddles after me. He also does this really cute thing when he wants me to pick him up. He comes over and stands on my foot and lifts his wings. When I am washing dishes and not piciking him up, he loves to run across the kitchen, catch the bottom of my dress or jeans (the dress is easier for him,) and runs up my back to sit on my shoulder. Such a funny little guy.
He also whistles a lot. We say he is singing the Sprout Theme Song because it sounds like nothing else. He also does the wolf whistle a lot because we keep doing it. Then, 3 weeks ago he started saying Pretty Bird. I was so excited. As of today he not only says that but has added Thank You, Step Up and Come Here to his vocabulary.
I wanted to thank you again for the lovely bird. I am having the time of my life with him and his buddy. Sorry this got to be such a long email and I hope you enjoy the pics.
Hi Ginny,
I just wanted to give you an update on our cockatiel, Buddy. He has turned out to be the perfect pet for our boys, ages 4-6-8. (See the attached photo of my oldest son). They are so gentle with Buddy and love to watch his antics. He has a really nice cage, but he is out playing with us for a large part of each day. He is healthy, cheerful, cuddly, and gentle… and we could not ask for a better bird. My favorite thing to do with Buddy is to pet his head and let him fall asleep on me. I am sure my husband thinks I am a “crazy bird lady”, but that’s OK. It is apparent that you truly care for your cockatiels and spend a LOT of time taming them. Thank you so much for our little Buddy!
Julie
Hi Ginny! We got our bird home and all of the kids just love her/him. We are very pleased with how friendly it is! It just spent a lot of time sititng on us preening, grinding it's beak and then took a nap on my shoulder. Loved it!
It has eaten some seeds but I'm concerned that it hasn't used the water bottle at all. What advice do you have? Jen
Hi Ginny, We purchased the whitefaced pied pearl yesterday for my daughter Harriet. We are thrilled with her and looking forward to getting to know her and having her be part of our family.
Ginny,
They are such sweeties! They are a bit nervous around new people, but have gained lots of trust with me! There names are einstein (emerald) and koki! (white face) they love playing with my parakeet faith, and romping about my room exploring. thank you so much!
sincerly,
alana

Hi Ginny,
I was writing to let you know that "Kirby" is doing well! He is a very curious and friendly little guy, and is starting to really settle in well here with me. His favorite spot is on my shoulder, though now he is starting to realize how much fun it is to crawl down my arm and explore my desk, which includes chewing at everything he can get at :)
Otherwise, the first bath, nail trim, and wing clip went smoothly!! He was a bit more ornery about the wing clip but all in all, he was a very good bird and didn't seem too flustered after it was all over. He has only whistled for me once so far, but hopefully he will become even more comfortable here and will start to. Thank you for everything, I am very attached to Kirby and he seems to be doing great overall.

Ginny, omg i am so glad that i bought diana and charles they are so cute exspecially how charles protects diana love the othre two i got from you also...all the birds are wonderful will probably get some more before summer is over. all my kids wanted the rare mutation one because she is such a loving bird i cant decide what one i like cuz i like them all.. thanks again melinda
Dear Ginny,
My family purchased two babies, one emerald and one pearl missing a tail. We named them in Japanese. The white one is Chitori (chee-toe-ree) meaning power(or spirit) bird. And the tailess one is Tamago (ta-ma-go) meaning chicken egg.
Thought I'd update that they are thriving. We still have yet to send pictures. Tamago's tail is growing back.
They are already mimicing whistles. Tamago will occasionally burst into full random mimicing whistle song. Their first full bath here was a couple of days ago. Completing all the things they should be doing. So all are well at home now.
Sincerely,
Danette
Hi Ginny,
We are so happy we got 2 birds....the kids love it and the birds seem to be very happy together. I dont feel so bad having to leave for a few hours...the birds can keep each other company
Thanks, Michelle
Hi Ginny,
We wanted to let you know how well Charlie and Comet are doing in their new home. They really seem to love it here with us. They want to be out of the cage very often and really just want to be in the same room with us. The kids love them! They are everything we had hoped they would be! Thanks for your help in providing great pets for the kids this year at Christmas.
Hi Ginny,
Thank You so much for sharing two of your babies and helping me choose two to take home. All of your babies are so beautiful that I needed your help picking them out! They really love having each other when I am not home and when I get home they both cannot wait to see me and get out to climb all over me! I was so afraid that getting two would make them bond to each other but that is NOT true at all! I enjoyed meeting all your birds and I am looking forward to getting more from you later! Thanks again. I am sharing your website with all my friends. Attached are some pics with how well they also get along with my parakeets!
sincerely,
Kim
Hi Ginny,
The birds are moved into their new home and doing good. We will be taking pictures soon to email you. Thanks again, Paul and Ruth.
Ginny,
We made it home. Everyone did just fine. The kids are having a blast with the babies. Thanks again for such beautiful birds!
