Cockatiels

Once again, we are overrun with cockatiels. Tiels are the parrot that are surrendered to us in the highest quantity. It is so very sad as they can make terrific companions, and most are not given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

They appear to be frequently impulse-purchased, as they are relatively inexpensive. Then, in a few weeks, months, or years, the newness wears off and they are discarded.We currently have 47 tiels up for adoption. That is not a typo. Almost 50 tiels are at the Center, hoping for a chance at a family and happy life! While 35 of those are not tame, we have some very sweet tiels, like the guy pictured above. He's ready to be a part of a loving family.

We'd really like to place these guys. Every day they spend with us is a day they're not with a loving family. Though we do our best, and they have all of their physical needs met with us, the truth is that they don't get the attention and bonding at the Center that they do in a home.

If you've been thinking about adding a tiel to your home, there has never been a better time to do so! Stop by the Center and we can help you find your match! Tiels also make a great choice for first-time bird owners, and if that describes you, we can work with you to set you on the road to success with one of these loving, too frequently overlooked, creatures.
