 RF> up with 3 kids ranging from 1-4 years of age !!! But i guess you
 RF> really have to love them feathered friends to do it all the time I
 RF> am currently handfeeding a few cockatiels and about have 2 lovebirds
 RF> weaned. WEll hope to here from ya take it easy!
        Gees, do you ever get to have "Miller Time"??   I'd
      love to get another cockatiel sometime... the one i had (she
      died) was the most loving little creature. Is it true that the
      males sometimes get kinda of ornery when they reach sexual 
      maturity? Mine stayed sweet forever; so i would like another
      female one. The problem with the normals though is that no 
      one seems to be able to tell them apart from the males 
      until they're a year or so old, and i'd rather have a baby.
      Got any tips for telling them apart?
           Sue
