Baby cockatiel beats the odds and grows up!

A baby cockatiel was attacked and rejected by his parents. So I took him and his sister into my care, and hand reared them. This is Chutneys story from chickhood to almost grown!
Dedicated to Miss serena Roberts who entrusted me with the care of her feathered pets.

I thank God for sweet people like you that have such love for these beautiful sweet birds:)

[AnnieBirdy]

What a lovely comment, thankyou so much Mommy7532! I always say I will never own a bird because you cant 'own' a creature born to be wild, but they sure do own me, heart, body and soul!

Hi Annie,

I was wondering what happened to his sister that looked like it was going to be a Lutino? My son has a Lutino, Cosmo, and she is the sweeeeetest thing I've ever seen. Tiels truly ROCK!!!! Check out my channel, my pair just had three and I'm probably going to keep them all even though a local store wants me to sell them to her. . .;)~

Hi Crazy4amazons, sadly the other little baby, Pickle, didnt make it. her diverticulum muscle never functioned properly, and despite 5 weeks of day and night intensive care from myself, and specialist treatment of a highly experienced avian vet, she lost the battle. Absolutely broke my heart. If you go to my website and click on the link 'the tragedy of Pickle' it will take you to her long hard battle on Mytoos. You can also see Cinders story there!

peace,

This is such a lovely video! I have 2 cockatiels myself and only one is friendly the other one isn't as friendly and when I got him he was in poor shape he had alot of bare spots that needed to be regrowed and now he looks like a handsome bird but he only trusts me as I'm the only one that's able to pet his little head and give him a kiss on the head, the sweet one loves doing cute things to get attention but she plays with me as well. That bird you showed is really pretty. :)

Thankyou Dragonesa, its wonderful to read that you took in one of the ''less pretty'' (grrr I hate that!) birds and loved him for what he was. Cockatiels are such lovely birds, so incredibly sweet!

[wickedsquitty]

You are a kind soul. I'm glad there are people like you in the world who care. :)

[SarahSnape]

Aww, at first I was like, "That poor litle thing is the ugliest bird I have ever seen..." and then he grew to be beautiful. :) So sweet.

my sister found an abandoned parakeet in her backyard but then he died after a few months :( but she still has her cockatiel, she's 9 years old now, it's kind of scary to think about that but she still looks and acts the same as when she was a baby :)

[GiantPetRat]

Man, I love cockatiels. We had one for over a decade since her birth, and when she passed away we just couldn't stand not having one around.

[magnetchill]

this vid was like a blast for the past for me, since that's exactly what my cockatiel coco looked like while she was growing up with her brother and sister who sadly have flown away, but i pray that coco will stay with me for many years to come

[STALKERyxxx]
