Well today I got called about a Cockatiel that needed a new home. Well I arrived and found this... This has to be the LARGEST Cockatiel I have ever seen! Cookie is about two years old and ended up being to big for his owners so they surenderred him to me. Link to comment

Just having some room to move around will make him think he died and went to heaven. Were the people abashed when you told them what he was? Link to comment

I think he is a bit freaked about the space he has. I have him in my HQ flight cage which I know alot of people have for 4 or 6 budgies well the cage looks soooooo small with him in it! But it is about twice the size of what he is use to. Link to comment
