Sad day.....

My cockatiels are going to live with my little sister today....I am sad, although I know she loves them very much and if she ever gets sick of them or doesnt take care of them properly they will come back, and I can visit them all the time too.....Im giving them to her as an early xmas present because she loves them so much. Sushi and Wasabi know they are leaving, they are superglued to my head...I cant walk by with out them attaching themselves to me....I hope they wont hate me, Im giving her food and toys and theyll have the same cage...they know they are leaving though and it is making me sad....they normally dont act this way....its strange. Shes very responsible and Ive made the rules clear. Im sure theyll be fine but I hand fed them and it makes me so scared.....

Not sure why you are giving them to your sister, but there is nothing like keeping it in the family. You can visit when you want and, as you said, they couldn't be in a better place if your sister loves them! With the same cage and toys and such, I'm sure they'll adapt quickly and I'm sure you will feel better soon enough.
Sometimes, life forces us to do hard things that may feel awful in the short term, but we know are for the best in the long haul...happily, these babies are quite young and will certainly grow to love their new environment.

What a wonderful present for your sister. I am sure she will provide a wonderful home for your babies. I am guessing they are just picking up on how sad you are right now and will settle in with auntie in no time!

That's a nice gift for your sister. Of course you may have just infected her with the dreaded multiple bird syndrome. Today it's two cockatiels. Tomorrow she will start gazing at conures, amazons, and greys. It's a terrible disease.
