Hi, I am in the process of looking for another baby cockatiel for one which
recently died.  I first looked in back issues of _Bird_Talk_ for breeders in
my area.  I called some of the breeders/shops up and the price for a standard/
gray cockatiel ranged from $75.00 - $100.00.  The breeders were located in
Northern VA, WV, and Southern PA.  The birds were hand-feed babies.  Do these 
prices sound normal?  My SO bought a hand-fed, speckled, lutino (sp?) cockatiel
for $40.00 in Florida.  I thought the grays would be less expensive.

Sooooo, if anyone knows the norms for cockatiel pricing I would appreciate you
sending me a message about it.

                                Thank you
