So I found this little bird on gumtree, They say she (it) is 4 and a half months old. But she looks younger then that to me.. They've said I can have her (it) so I'll be going to get it in the next week or so, It's advertised as a white faced cockatiel, it doesn't look very white faced though..

They also said that their sister didn't want it because "didnt like her because she hasnt grown the feathers on her neck"

So just wanted to hear other thoughts on it..

(sorry about the size of the images, I'm sure someone will fix them for me )

Poor thing!!! I'd make sure you do a decent quarantine with it... as it doesn't look healthy to me. The lack of feathers could be due to a number of things, and an avian vet check would be my first point of call. Good luck if you decide to take it and I hope it's okay. Age wise I can't help you there sorry.

I'm going to get it wednesday afternoon and i've already got an appointment at my vet's first thing thursday morning!

Good stuff!! I should have known you'd be on the ball For further assistance with its health (if needed), go to Liv's Tiel forum as we are unable to help out here... but updates are always welcome!
