Thumbs up Hola

I am new here I have a cockatiel that I just found out it was a female ( thanks to me posting it in this page). I currently only have one but I am planning on having other cockatiels. I really love birds in fact I love any animal. I really hope I enjoy this cite.

As long as she keeps all of her pearls, then yes she's a female! She's a very pretty little girl as well! If she's living in a round cage though, you might want to consider getting her a square cage that is wider than it is tall (or at least 2' x 2' min).

Why is that Monica? I have tried to find her a square cage but can not get one and she really loves her round cage. I personally don't like round cages becasue you can hardly hang toys and treats and they are hard to clean. Oh and thank you for your complements. ( forgive my english spelling I sometimes get confused with my english and spanish and it gets tough sometimes eventhough I have spend almost 9 years in the US its sometimes confusing)

Birds in general should not be kept in round cages because actually to them they see no place to hide or cuddle to feel safe. I'm surprised that you can't find a square or rectangle cage, one with four sides, that is. How do you know she likes her cage? If you read up on cages you will see that a round is never recommended. And welcome, this is a great place to be

Your english right now is just fine! Lori pretty much explained the problems of a round cage, and it sounds as if you've explained a couple problems you've found yourself! Strange though that you say you can't find a cage with four sides...
