http://my3tiels.tripod.com/id6.html
Flying in Our Dreams. There comes a time when we must part ways with those we cherish, even if for a little while. but they never leave our hearts. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

Nikkie's Cockatiel Apache, Patchie The Cockatiel
http://my3tiels.tripod.com/id1.html
We brought Apache home in May of 2004. Since Mother's Day had recently passed without much celebration (everyone was ill), our wedding anniversary was rapidly approaching, and my birthday was not far behind, my husband had been picking my brain for gift ideas. (I admit I'm hard to shop for). Hehe! It was more than likely a HUGE relief when he saw the yearning in my eyes as I gazed upon that "cockatiel in the window". Besides, even Scott (my husband) is a sucker for a pretty face! Boy I had a lot to learn!

Nikkie's Tragic Cockatiel Love Page
http://my3tiels.tripod.com/id13.html
A Tiel Tear Jerker. Young Love visited my flock when Apache ("Patchie") and Silver bonded and began to mate. Though Silver was not quite a year old, he had his full head of yellow and felt he was "man enough" for his hen. He and Neo both pursued Patchie relentlessly, but Silver was the victor in the end. She fell for his good looks and his charming courtship displays. Patchie and Silver's Love Nest. Silver, lovingly preening Patchie. All of the attention he lavished on her, didn't stop her from maintaini...

Nikkie's Cockatiel Trinity, Trinny the Cockatiel
http://my3tiels.tripod.com/id12.html
Where there is a Neo, there has got to be a Trinity! Is this my good side? And why did I change Trinny's name? Well, it was long believed that "Beaker" was a "he", but when "he" laid eggs a few months back, the truth was out! It was decided that "Beaker" needed a more feminine name, so my daughter Kirsten suggested "Trinity" (shortened to Trinny) to go along with "Neo" (From the movie, The Matrix). So, Trinity it is! Trinny is quite the character! As you can see by her girth, she doesn't miss many meals!

Nikkie's Cockatiel Taxi, Taxi the Cockatiel
http://my3tiels.tripod.com/id10.html
Still A Baby In So Many Ways! I have ALWAYS loved the Pearl mutation. The speckling of white on the wings is very striking and I couldn't pass this beauty up when I saw her! With the dark gray contrast and the yellow markings, I thought she looked like a little Taxi cab, hence the name Taxi! So a BIG thank you to Taxi's Doctor at Airport Vet Clinic. Here's a few snapshots of her exam:. The Doctor Listens To Her Heart and Breathing. The ears are behind the orange patch-having a peek. Taxi LOVED her bottle!

There is A LOT to know about owning a cockatiel. Or for that matter, any bird. Its not like having a puppy or kitten. Their needs are much different.

Nikkie's cockatiel Silver, Silver the Cockatiel
http://my3tiels.tripod.com/id3.html
Right from the start, Silver proved to be a pistol! A regular chip off the old block! Silver learned a lot from "ole Dad, Jack" (pictured with Mom, Ele on the home page). Nothing scares Silver! There's not a docile feather on his body and speaking of feathers, even with clipped wings, the dude could fly! I visited my friend to see the babies, and held him, snuggling his little head. Maybe it brought back memories. They all three looked alike! Silver just knows what he likes and knows how to get it! Of co...
