Does anyone reading know of a newsgroup focused more on pet birds?  My SO and I
have a pair of cockatiels.  We purchased each of the birds while my SO was in
Florida working a temporary job.  We are now together and after three months my
bird doesn't like my SO and her bird doesn't like me.

Does anyone have suggestions on improving the birds' dispositions?  My bird
runs away from my SO but her bird attacks me and her.  My SO didn't have this
biting problem with Melin until she came back.  Melin also has a problem 
with the toilet - whenever it is flushed he starts screamming.  The birds have
separate cages and are allowed outside their cages about 5 hours a day.

Merlin, my cockatiel, sneezes quite often.  His nose however IS NOT runny.
Should I be alarmed about this?

                                Thank you
