Convincing mom? 
I found an extremely friendly cockatiel at the pet store the other day and would really love to have him cause ive always wanted a bird and he was so sweet! any ideas on getting my mom to like the idea? for some reason she really doesnt want birds, says theyre too messy.

write her a letter saying things about how not messy they are and more positive things about cockatiels. i did this with my parents... its worked. they had the same feeling about budgies. and now i am getting one. =]

hmmm....they are messy and u do have to clean after them but tell her mom that cockatiels are smart and once you get to know him they are like dogs...they can be taught to speak and can be trained to go on the owners hand...that they are very smart and beautiful and some times are kept as a decoration in the house...:)

umm... decoration? decorations are not living animals. a glass figurine is a decoration, a picture is a decoration... but a living breathing animal should not be kept as a decoration. grrrr.
