Silk, the yellowone, was picked up after Misty died because Dusty was having a hard time coping with the loss of his companion.
While I was at the breeders, I was certain that I wanted to bring Silk home, but I saw a lonely albino cockatiel that had no tail feather and looked pitifull.
When inquiring about him, the breeder told me that the other birds would constantly attack him and that because of his feather condition (tail) he could not sell him.
I was at a loss because my boyfriend really like silk and I also wanted to take flocon home with me.
I guess the breeder really wanted to get rid of him so he gave me a real special price for him.
I've been working on him for the past 6months now, at first he was so skiddish but now he steps up and loves to snuggle. He still has his moments but he is doing better.
His tail feathers have not grown yet but it looks like they are slowing trying to grow. In this picture you can see why I call him King Flocon, his crest looks like a huge crown :)Needless to say I love him as well and will convert him to like human company, so far he only lets me handle him but that will change one day with perseverance.
I'm glad you were able to come home with both birds! That happened to me with Lola and Lupe. Both of them stepped up on my finger at the pet store. I couldn't decide which one to take home -- they were both so lovable, and neither of them stepped off. So, they both came home with me!!! And I was just going to the store to get more bird food!
