Hi all!

My name is Bailey and I have 9 Cockatiels and a Green Cheek Conure. I am 22 years old and am self-employed as a pet sitter..I have loved animals of all kinds for as long as I remember.

The Cockatiels live in an indoor aviary (they are free to roam in their bird-proofed room during the day and sleep in the aviary at night) and the GCC has a flight cage to herself; she is allowed out with everyone under supervision only, because she doesn't like other birds and will chase and nip them.

I started keeping birds in June 2011 and have been growing my flock since then, mainly because I find birds in bad situations and feel the need to give them a soft landing.

So we have some bonded male/male pairs and a male/female pair. The female was a chronic layer before I got her, but we haven't had any issues since she joined the flock. There is: Kirk & Mac, Luna & Taz, Kuuky & Violet, Amaria & Pearl, and the lone wolf Torino. Then we have Marley ithe GCC.

8 of the cockatiels are male, 1 is female, and the GCC is female. As you can imagine, it is sometimes very noisy around here. But they have their own room and we've learned to tolerate/tune out the singing/screaming/squawking.

I also have a dog, a hamster, a tarantula, and a 10 gallon fish tank. :-)

Welcome to the group! We've met before of course, and the TC members probably know you too.

I'm the moderator CaliTiels over at TC. What kind of tarantula do you own? I like the little rosehairs myself.

She's a Rose-Hair...named Rose. :bigsmile100:

She is actually my boyfriend's. He got her when he was 16 years old, hence the super original name. Rose is 16 this year. :D

I didn't know spiders could live that long! I've never had a pet tarantula but I see wild ones sometimes.

Oh yes, turantulas can live very long, under the right conditions. Up to 30 years, even

8 males and 1 female! Is there a lot of competition for her attention from many males?
