Hi Betty

to the community. Im sorry to hear about the loss of your tiel. I myself have 8 breeding pairs and countless baby tiels at the moment and all of them are very special to me so I know how it feels to lose a pet.Im glad you have decided to get a kakariki, as they are so funny and have great personalities. We have at the moment (no more avairy space) 1 pair of breeding kakariki's and 5 chicks about 7 weeks old. Please send us some pics when you get him.Hopefully my partner will build me another avairy soon as Im getting a bit impatient Not talking

as I wouldnt mind trying out the red front mutation.I think he's procrastinating because he thinks Im getting a bit out of control.Never!!!!!!! LOL Laughing

Cheers

Leah
