My New Cockatiel Albert
I always wanted to own a cockatiel, at least ever since my friend brought one home two years ago. When I saw this little bird with its spiky head feathers I was sold. Yesterday the moment arrived when I finally made it down to the local pet store. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to pick a bird.
The owner had previously alerted me to new arrivals so I was ready to roll as soon as the birds were delivered to the pet shop. On my arrival I was greeted by four of the cutest little fluffy things I have ever seen. Four baby cockatiels in fact and they all looked admirable. So much so that I wanted to take them home – all of them.
But since my space is limited I had to make a choice and eventually settled on a little grey colored one with yellow bits and white bits sprinkled throughout its feathers. Since the store owner thinks it is a male bird (god knows how he does), I decided to name the bird Albert.
I was then instructed on the right cockatiel diet and good to go after that. As soon as we got home, Albert and I spend some time bonding with each other. I’m sure we will continue to grow close and I look forward to our life together
