strange behavior

My budgie Cloudy has been a lot more active lately. Suddenly he started liking me a lot more, flying to me without me calling him and he doesn't seem to be scared of my hands anymore. Major change in our relationship. Anyway, besides him finally accepting me, I think he's also doing it for the...

She was about 10 weeks old when we adopted her. I handfeed her until she was ready to eat by herself. She is well bonded with me and my wife. She hates to go back in her cage. She loves to fly around in the house. For some weird reason she thinks im her mate! She comes up to me and do the mating...

Hey thereee ! So I got this young, male budgie - according to the breeder he is around 3-4 months old. Recently since the day i set up his new cage …he has been loving to squeeze himself into tight/ uncomfortable places like in between perches or wood platform.. Is there any explanation behind...

I noticed my male budgie is sometimes on the side of the cage at the top resting his beak on the bar above him at night. Here's a picture I found on the internet similar to what he deos It only happens at night, and I also noticed that he wants to sleep next to his friend in the cage but she...

I was sitting, doing some work in my room, which is the same room where the cage is, and suddenly, i hear his chirping and he flaps his wings really fast as if he is flying, but he goes nowhere and clings to the perch. What is this?

So a few weeks ago we noticed our cockatiel Cricket acting kind of strange. One night he was eating and tried regurgitating. Nothing came up. He then began to exhibit some very strange behavior. He would begin feverishly “preening” his chest, close to his crop area. But he wasn’t actually...

So my dad has had a jenday conure namer Zeus for about 3 years now, and he’s always seemed pretty healthy. Well, as of recently I’ve noticed he’s been standing with his foot holding onto the side of his head and kind of scratching at his face. I feel like he’s in some kind of pain but I haven’t...

my little guy who I have owned for 22 years has the most peculiar habit....play time for him is when he gets to play on our giant kitchen island. I keep a large jar of wine corks there that he loves to destroy. My question is, why is it that he feels the need to sprinkle this cork around the...

Hi, its been a while. So this post is about my female cockatiel, Chicken, because i have noticed some concerning things about her health just recently. First of all, i think there's a hole in her head. No, its not her ears, it's under her crest feathers on top of her scalp. It kinda looks more...

Hello everyone! Recently I became the proud new owner of a beautiful green cheek conure, Manny. Manny is fully fledged but is still very much a baby. He eats on his own, knows how to step up and is a wild man for the most part. The only other bird I’ve had is a cockatiel. With my tiel I know...

Hello! I've recently adopted a Goffins named Kiwi from a local animalr rescuer. We know nothing about her age or what sort of life she lived before finding us. When we first met her she was in a room with 2 other 'toos and a macaw and was VERY nervous (we've learned she prefers being in a 1 bird...

I am posting this in the hope of gaining some insight into these vocalizations my female Ringneck dove, Sable, has been making. Sable is almost 1 year old (my husband and I have had her since she was approximately 4 months old). She has been making these sounds more frequently lately, however...

I am new to this forum and hope someone out there can shed some light to my question... I have a 17 year old wonderful male white faced cockateil, very healthy and happy until recently that started to behave strange. I got a 30 minutes video of his frantic behavior that resembled a panic...
