Annette...just and FYI....cockatiels are parrots, they are classified as the Cacatuidae family, and are the only parrots that use their feathers to cover their beak (a sign of contentment/at ease status). So, yes...you actually posted a picture of parrot feathers!
Anyway, sorry to hijack this thread with the other kind of parrot feathers. I do have parrot feather in my pond and it's been doing well. I bought some more than a year ago and it hasn't taken over, but it does stick around over winter here. I had some of the red stem and it didn't last...not sure why.
