I'm a complete and utter novice. I don't even have a Tiel yet, but I'm hoping to get some information to help me make a good choice...tomorrow!!

I would read as much as possible about cockatiels. Here is a site to start with http://www.birdchannel.com/bird-species/profiles/cinnamon-mutation-cockatiel-2.aspx Also here is a good book to get http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Complete-Book-of-Cockatiels-Diane-Grindol/9780876051788-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+'cockatiels' Good luck. Don't forget to buy the largest cage possible.

Hey Plukie! Welcome to the site :) .

Thanks everybody. Well, I didn't get a Tiel today because I'm going to wait for a hand reared one. Somebody I know is going to put me in touch with the local Cockatiel Society, who in turn will put me in touch with a Tiel breeder, so that I can get a hand reared one! So, although I was going to get one today, I've been really good, not rushed in to it and I'm waiting, patiently...well, sort of patiently, I've still got a few finger nails left!! LOL.

LOL!! It will all be worth it in the end. The wait will give you a chance to get a cage and toys sorted out. ;)
