🦜💚 Sam’s morning playtime 💚🦜

Sam is out every morning for some playtime, and although he’s always been very much a ladies’ bird 😂 he’s slowly starting to trust Steven enough to stand on his arm 🥰

It’s lovely to see him becoming more comfortable with Steven — even if he still clearly knows exactly who his favourite people are! 😂🦜💚

🐦💚 Customer Photo of the Week! 💚🐦
One of our lovely bird customers decided on Saturday that two cockatiels just weren't enough... so he came back and added 2 more hand-reared cockatiels to the 2 he already got from us! 😆
At this rate, he's well on his way to building a full-blown cockatiel army 😂🐦🐦🐦🐦
We absolutely love receiving photos and videos from our customers and seeing how well our birds settle into their new homes. This one has to be one of our all-time favourites – four happy cockatiels and one very proud bird dad! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this fantastic photo with us. It always makes our day seeing updates like these! 🥰
📸 Got photos or videos of your feathered friends from us? We'd love to see them! Feel free to share them in the comments or send them to us directly.
