    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

These two are proven, but I would prefer them go to seperate pet homes instead of a breeding situation. Both are SUCH sweethearts. I've been working with them a ton. Wasa, the male, is 9, and Nikki is 11. They have had clutches, but Nikki plucked Wasas tailfeathers out, so their last 3 clutches had been infertile. Now, just so you know, these are not my birds, I am just working with them and keeping them at my house for a friend, though, I know most everything about them. If my family didn't dislike them so much, I would be tempted to keep them. Wasa has a pretty good vocabulary, he says Wasa, I love you, Love you Wasa, Earthquake!, Buh bye, and a few others...We're teaching him to say more and more. Now, as for Nikki, she wouldn't utter a word before she got here, she had spent most of her time in the nestbox, only coming out to eat and drink. She was nearly bald when I recieved her, now most of her feathers are coming in nicely. Wasas tailfeathers are starting to come in as well. Nikki now wolf whisles and says "Wasa" and last night she said I love you...I"m so proud of her! I was beaming last night when she said that. These two have been through a lot, and I would like them to go to permanant homes if at all possible. And seperate homes, so they keep their pet qualities. I've had them seperated now, but in the same room, since the begining of April. THey are doing great, they eat a variety of foods, their favorites I'd have to say are noodles. :) Nikki I think prefers apples though. At any rate, they still need work, as it's a long process coming from breeders back to complete pets...Nikki will not step up yet, but she'll step up onto a stick if she goes to the floor. Wasa steps up fine and will cuddle into your arm, but, from being a breeder bird, he is dominant if he gets above your head, so he cannot be on your shoulder, only on your forearm. They're asking $800 for Wasa and $600 for Nikki, or $1000 for the both of them, which is negotiable to the right home. If you take them both, there's one cage that's big enough for one of them too. We're willing to work out shipping if need be, or, one of the owners is going to KY the end of October, so could deliver along the way, or meet you somewhere. If there's any interest or you know of someone who'd be interested, please let me know. You can email me directly at [email protected] or post a message here on the site :) Thanks!

Rayna,
Do you still have your birds for sale? I live in St. Cloud, MN and would be able to pick up if interested. These birds would be a part of the family, and not used as breeders.

your cockatoos

I live in NC and am looking for a cockatoo. I just seen your ad today (2-13-05), I am interested in either one of the birds. I only want the one and will give a good home to him/her. I have had 12 years experience with birds and go to college through internet classes and I am at home most of the day. I have a quaker parrot now and I have always wanted a cockatoo. I have more experience with the Double yellow headed amazons but I have also some experience with Cockatoos. Please send me an email to [email protected] and let me know if you still have them or call me at 828-267-5737 (home) or 828-310-1273 (cell). My cell # is easier to reach me at. Thanks, Debbie k.
