 SH> love to get another cockatiel sometime... the one i had (she
 SH> died) was the most loving little creature. Is it true that the
       I haven't posted for quite awhile now...but I have two male tiels
       and a female lovebird (proven due to her deciding to lay three 
       clutches of three eggs each...now sitting on the third clutch) 
       and two parakeets...;)
 SH> males sometimes get kinda of ornery when they reach sexual
 SH> maturity? Mine stayed sweet forever; so i would like another
 SH> female one. The problem with the normals though is that no  
 
       I find my males very very friendly and during the hormonal 
       periods they go through they are not bad...where the female 
       lovebird becomes Witchypoo....she can be vicious...the males 
       might nip at me but it passes quickly enough...with her she is 
       just plain vicious...;)
 SH> one seems to be able to tell them apart from the males
 SH> until they're a year or so old, and i'd rather have a baby.
 SH> Got any tips for telling them apart?
       I think males are more friendly even from birth...the females 
       seem to be more stand offish....;)  The way I picked my first 
       tiel was from a clutch of 6...I let him pick me...;)
