Just received a rescue Amazon. I love him so much and I'm bird proofing the house. I removed all non stick cookware and things with Teflon or PTFE. Including even irons and ironing boards and hair straighteners. My question now is, are things like microwaves, toasters (not air fryers or toaster...

Hi everyone. a couple of days ago a small fiscal shrike/butcher bird came into my care. She’s eating very well and seems healthy but my concern is that she doesn’t seem to use her legs much and sits tucked in her ‘nest’ all day. She also can’t grip my finger but her toes can move. She was...

I’m in a bit of a panic. It’s in the middle of the night and my parakeet: Lydia started making this coughing/sneezing/hiccup? Soft, squeaky sound. I turned on my flashlight to examine her and she kept acting like she was trying to cough something up. She eventually stopped and hasn’t since made...

I have a video attached of the weird motion, it's really scaring me and i'm not sure if he's okay. I have a vet appointment scheduled on the 3rd, and i just need to make sure he'll be okay until then - that's 4 days away. He's been sneezing a lot the past few days, but had no nasal discharge or...

I’ve recently brought a new budgie, I have always loved birds and owned 2 different pairs of budgies in the past. This one is on his own as I didn’t have much luck taming the others in pairs, he’s been fine, completely normal new budgie behaviour, not eating, drinking, moving, but I’m quite...

Hey. I have just rescued an African grey, he is absolutely adorable and we all love him. I’ve never owned a parrot before so I’m just trying to figure out some of his body language. For example, he put his down this morning for a head scratch and after a couple of scratches he turnt really quick...

Hi everyone, I have a question, so about 3 weeks ago I bought a lovebird and noticed some abnormalities in the feathers and activity level so I took her to the vet and got her tested for pbfd and tested positive. The vet told me there is no cure but there has been some birds that have lived a...

So my Pineapple Greencheek just sneezed in my face and it felt wet. She sneezed three, more times after that. Is this normal? Would I be overreacting if I took her and her cagemate to the vet over this? I am really worried but at the same time uncertain. If this isn’t cause for concern just yet...

Context: This post is to leave your insights and help. I have a 5 year old whiteface cockatiel that I have owned for around the same time. Ask if you need more context. For now, I mainly need help with the Augmentin part. My bird does not like being grabbed, keeps moving its beak and all. It...

Hey there! My male eclectus is now 1 year and 9 months old, and his beak is nearly fully orange—just a tiny dot left, practically all gone. For the first year I had him, everything was good, but I had to train him to trust me for quite some time, even though he was just a baby. It seemed like...

I have an almost 5 year old cockatiel (Alba) and she suddenly began to have a strange noise as she was breathing, such as whistling in her nose. It was very sudden and happened as of yesterday morning (it's currently 5am the next day) and she's been sneezing excessively and seemed to struggle...

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...

So i live in an apartment that’s pretty big and extremely well ventilated- especially in my room. my room has a pretty big window which can be opened (screened) and i keep an air purifier running next to Archie’s cage on full blast 24/7. we also have the ceiling fan on periodically to increase...

My cocky cockatiel Zizo has been limping for the past two days.. it's always his left foot. It all started after my mom presumably stepped on his teeny tiny foot in the dark (she wasn't sure..). He doesn't react at all when I touch his little grippers, (except for the usual silent whining (he...

Hey fellow bird owners! I got my male cockatiel (Nacho) a hen (Navi) about 8 months ago and they have bonded a lot since. The problem is, she is not sharpest tool in the shed... She never got used to being handled by us, gets startled by the slightest movement and/or falls down the counter...

So I'm getting a yellow shouldered Amazon and the person said she's recovering from a n egg stroke... I love taking care of special needs animals and I agreed that she's right up my alley but I've got some questions (yes I'm going to take her to the vet as soon as I pick her up or the next day)...

I want to delete my last post; I am making the item as a surprise and the person it is for is on this site, I posted it expected to be able and delete it but I don’t see an option. Im afraid to spoil the surprise. If any mods or something can remove my most recent post about thin lineart, thank you

Hi all. I was meal prepping my gcc's chop for the month, and I accidentally put 1/2 tsp of cassia cinnamon. I did the math and it's about .2 mg of coumarin per days worth of food which i know she won't even eat remotely close to this much. Is this too toxic or am I good to use it still? I would...

i'm not sure of the particular reason for this but a few hours ago, my budgie had a scratch on his nose. i didn't notice it at the time but i've noticed it now. i attached his nose before and after. if it's bad what should i do?

Hello everyone! What are your opinions on hair products (to be specific shampoo and conditioner) that contain avocado oil? i’ve avoided them up until this point, but i guess i started to question if my hesitance was necessary… like obviously avoid leave in products that contain it, because...
