Some of you have asked me about Silver's tail.
I've been thinking about it. When I went to the bird store Silver was the friendliest of the cockatiels in the bin. He was also one of the oldest.
I kind of think I may have gotten him BECAUSE of his injured tail. It could be he was rejected by other buyers because his tail was messed up.
Just a thought. I feel very lucky with him. He has a great temperament. He's friendly, but not clingy. Works and plays well with other birds LOL.

Sometimes an injured animal is the best pet

I like your reasoning. I agree that others would not have made the same decision because of his tail and he'd be rejected. I'm glad he found you.

Its all very silly, considering the majority of baby cockatiels lose their tale feathers. They are made to be loose so that if a predator snatches at them or the baby gets hung up on a branch or something they can escape until they learn how to be more careful. They almost always grow back perfectly lovely tails as an adult!
I'm glad you chose Silver for his personality and gave him a chance when others were too silly to!
