My Cockatiel's Column

Nothin' like da papers every mornin'!

Name: Crescent

Gender: Male

Nickname: boy (eg: good boy!)

Been home since: 6/7/98

Snacks: some fruits (except avocado)

Mutation: Lutino Cockatiel

Cost: $100 (but who cares? I'm worth it!)

Likes: Perching on high places (anywhere higher than my owner), taken out of the cage and being in the cage (I'll explain)

Dislikes: Being placed with Canopy in the same cage, being shooed out of the house by my owner's mother, being taken out of the cage (I'll explain too)

Specialty: cooked cockatiel!(yeah,right!) I don't talk back. In other words, I can't talk. Just chirp. At least I don't talk back! I'm so polite!

My story: H....i....! Oh nevermind. I type so slowly using my beak. I'm just "talking" while my owner types. I had to screech so I can "write" an autobiography of myself. I did say I'll explain about the above thingy. I like being in my cage but when my owner tries to take me out, I freak out! But of course, she gets her way and one way or the other, I'll be outta my cage (on her hand/finger). But then when I'm already out, I seem to like it too. So you get it? That's why I like and dislike getting outta my cage.

My owner sez I'm her favourite now. She sez I'm her fourth pet bird and I'm the first to go into training. She also sez that she didn't know how to train her past three birds until now but they've .......(sob)..... gone.

Anyway, it all started out when I was back at the bird shop. Then this girlie's head popped up. The cage was placed on top of two others so it was rather high. She must've been on a chair. She was just looking around and choosing one of us when she spotted yours truly. I just thought she was nice to have as a pet so I tried to look as cute as I could. She couldn't make up her mind between me and my other friend but she soon chose me. I guess she has brains after all (just kidding). Then she brought me home. Life is easy. I don't have to look for food, my place is always clean, I'm showered with snacks and wild birds visit me everyday! What more could I want. I have freedom too. She takes my out everyday without fail. Even that time when she got a fever! Wow!

My owner sez: Hi. Jeannette here. I sorta have a problem with Crescent. His dropping are kinda weird. The feces are always black but the urine (I hope you're not eating anything) is sometimes green and sometimes, it's yellow. I have a vet around my house but he's not an avian vet and the last time he gave me medicine, my rabbit died. I don't know what to do. I also found out that some skin is peeling off. Is that normal? Anyone got any ideas?
