Hey! Batholomew! Better late than never.

Spaw - That's horrifying about the cockatiel. It's probably not so cocky now, though...could be a good maturing experience for the poor thing.

A friend of mine had a budgie (seriously) which was flying around in their 16th floor apartment one night, and someone had left a window open. The unfortunate budgie flew out of said window at 11 PM into a blinding January snowstorm and was never seen again. One of the saddest stories I have heard.

I hope the cockatiel is okay, they're very neat birds.
