WANTED: baby, hand-reared cockatiel

[princess]

Hi all ;D
Was wondering if you could give me a bit of help! My hubby has very kindly agreed to buy me a cockatiel for my birthday, but it's been strongly suggested that we buy from a breeder, however, I can't really find any where we live. We are from Sydney, and I was wondering if you could steer us in the right direction.....we want to have a look this weekend if we can, and also advise us on approximately how much a baby hand-reared one will cost...we have a cage already!
Thanks

What is a breeders certificate?

[hillcresttiels]

It's a certificate that guarantees the Health, Genetics and Sex if possible of the Bird!
