I hope like heck that I won't be living alone with my birds in an
apartment for the rest of my life--but finding a man who thinks it's
just peachy that I have five birds is proving harder than I thought!

Anyhow, I am wondering how I could convert a basement into a liveable
place for my cockatiels and budgies.  My current heart throb has a very
large house, but has a thing about bird turds on his oriental rugs.  
He has a large, unused basement.  This is New England, and it gets cold,
but basements can be heated, full-spectrum lights can be used, etc.

Anyone have any practical tips on what is needed??

Also, from time-to-time I can't take the demands these fellas put
upon me.  Has anyone ever bought a mature talking cockatiel?  About
how much would you say the market value of a tame and talking male
is?

Thanks!  Oh, I feel guilty enough just thinking about it, so keep the
"How could yous" to yourselves.
