I have a cockatiel now that I could not say no to coming into my home. I am the 3rd family he has known, (traumatic) just as any of my pets I have a real weak spot for them, thier family abandonded them. I have a lot of outdoor animals and quite a few outdoor pets, but this is the first one that was totally dependent on human contact. He is fine, his name is Vito and he is totally spoiled getting the run of the house. My problem is that I work long hours and he is alone at least 8 to 10 hours a day. He is fine with 2 to 3 hours of play outside the cage, but, I NEED TO KNOW, he talks and whistles and has a lot of words now, sorry didn't know he would learn words so easily,(nothing vulgar). I have heard if I got him a mate he would stop singing and talking, but then again if he had a male playmate he would be fine!! I definately do not have the time to care for his offspring if I did get a female..........from what I have read on cottage website. He is probably 10 now, any advice?
