This was sent to me by a customer that just bought a baby green cheek from us on June 15th…. This is his little girl with him the first week… How Amazing….

These adorable hanfed cockatiels are a couple weeks out from being weaned. I couldn't resist getting a video of these 3 chowing down on some millet tonight.
