Hello first post here but hoping I can get some help. Recently we had a baby rainbow lorikeet at our front lawn who couldn't fly and showed signs of having beak and feather disease (short tail and short wings) although at the time I didn't know how contagious it was. I scooped the baby up and...

Hello! I currently own two cockatiels. Bébé was my first, who just turned four. She came from a shizzty bird store but at least seemed to be parent raised and grew up with other tiels. She has always been very timid but in time became a very sweet and curious tiel. However because of her...

So my 8 year old Lutino cockatiel laid eggs for the first time in years. I’m worried she might be caring for the egg too much. I have a camera set up to monitor her. For the past 2 days she hasn’t been eating or drinking. My 2 year old male cockatiel isn’t helping her either. Today I forced her...
