What’s a fair price for 2 white faced cockatiels both a year old?
2 Responses to What’s a fair price for 2 white faced cockatiels both a year old?
Hmmm…. Alot of questions!! I work at a bird store, and we have plenty of cockatiels. For white faced cockatiels, we usually sell them for about $110. But, since theire not tame, I’d suggest about $100 each. You could put a discount if they buy them both. Also, it doesn’t matter if they are female, or male, ALL cockatiels will whistle, and chirp..etc. Yours just need some attention, and they’ll start vocalizing.
And yes, any bird can be tamed. Even better when their young, and 1 year is pretty young. Before you decide if your going to sell them, why don’t you try to tame them yourself? My first cockatiel, a white faced pied cockatiel which looks excatly like the first picture, used to hiss and whine when i first got him, only because he was scared. Eventually, he stepped up on a pencil, then my finger, and then my shoulder, all because i had patience and love to offer. It’s ironic that there is a Green Cheek Conure next to that first picture of a ‘tiel, because I also have a green cheek conure.
Anyway, you should try and tame them, because you never know whether they can be amazing, friendly, little birdies ( and often times, they ARE!! )
Good Luck!!!

Not hand tamed or handfed I would say not more that $50 each and probably less than that. The birds you see in the petshops are generally hand tame and handfed which makes them worth more. Also petshops tend to charge significanly more than you would get the bird from a private breeder for.
No they should not be allowed to breed if they are brother and sister. Allowing that close a mating should only be done by experianced breeders who know the lines well and have a very specific goal in mind.
Yes they can be hand tamed with a bit of time and patients
