baby bird

Hello, today when I took my baby budgie out of his cage I noticed he was shaking. He is in my room so it not cold and not hot. He was shaking his whole body not just his wings. He still active and chirping. He’s poops look well. should I be concerned? I am new to birds and budgie care and I...

I recently brought home my baby sun conure Asja, and he's been amazing but I've noticed him "acting like a baby" a lot, if anything only more and more often? (Fluffy head, wing flaps, bobbing head) He is only 3 months, so not unexpected, but I would rather be cautious and check if it's a health...

Hello! I’m new to this site and was wondering if anyone has any insight as to why my baby lovebird isn’t growing feathers. I have a mated pair of rescued lovebirds who just had the first clutch that they’ve managed to hatch. We had two babies hatch out of 5 eggs laid and the first one out is...

i just got a new baby cockatiel from a shady breeder so bought the poor thing to a convention in a tiny cage. i know it wasn't really right of me to go and purchase her but i felt so bad seeing her in a tiny cage with nothing but harmful seed to help her. the poor things' left foot is already...

Hi, I’m a new cockatiel dad and I just wanted to check if this little guy/girl is okay. It’s chest looks a little swollen, is that fine? Also, it did just eat. I might just be paranoid too but who knows, and also how can you tell if a baby bird is shivering? When I hold it it vibrates a little...

Hi! Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, sorry if not! A little more than a week ago I found a baby grackle. Usually, I would leave them alone if it’s not a nestling but this one was on the train tracks and I didn’t see parents. When I got back to my home I heard the train...

It's been two years since Cutu passed away. He had been with me for 9 years and was practically a baby to me. A few months later we got another baby bird from a friend but she too met a horrible end. I hate CATS. Last week i dared to get another baby bird and he/she is such a cutie but we...

I got a new baby parakeet, he's around a month old. Since he arrived, he's been sneezing and wheezing. My mother is a vet but not an expert in avian, she suggested some medicine and I applied Vicks around the nose. He is completely fine for some time then starts sneezing again. There's no fever...

I recently got a baby conure to add to my flock. She is VERY nippy, and i am trying my best to teach her that this is not okay. I am trying to determine WHEN it happens so i can know the triggers... but its hard. sometimes she will fly to me and be at peace (Im not moving btw) and then all of a...

I am unable to take her to the vet tonight as they have closed and it happened 10 minutes ago (8 p.m) and won't be open until tomorrow morning. I have scheduled an x-ray for tomorrow but Im worried she won't make it through the night. It was feeding time and she was inside of her tub on top of...

Hello! I have been hand feeding birds for 3 years now. Today I noticed that my chick has somehow consumed a piece of pine shaving. I don't have any exotic vets in my area and no one wants to work on him. I can't just not do nothing. I have been considering two options: sucking it out or mixing...

I'm being told that my chick is shivering, but the gauge says it's at a good temperature, the chick is not wet/moist, and it's in a small closet so there shouldn't be a draft... What's this shaky movement about?

I have a newborn conure chick, it’s been nearly a whole day since it was born and it hasn’t pooed at all. I’ve fed it, it’s been hours and its crop still looks full to me… Help?!

Hello everyone! I thought It would be nice to leave an update for my baby cockatiel. It has been two years and a half since I've posted an emergency thread about my baby cockatiel. In case you haven't seen the thread, it was about a baby cockatiel that I bought from a breeder. Back then, I...

Hi, got a young (3m old) male Senegal Parrot a few weeks ago, having a bit of a struggle, overall the bird is super social but it makes it difficult to let it out and handle him, as he tends to bite quite hard when he sees naked fingers and any skin (includes neck, ears, etc). Been looking...

Hi guys, my babies donnie and casper just hatched an egg. the baby is healthy and they are feeding it and keeping it warm without help. my sister took a picture of the baby and we are worried he has impacted stool or something. i've tried looking up pictures of belly buttons vs baby cloaca/...

Hi, my beloved cockatoo Lucifer passed recently after two surgeries, $16k in vet bills and an autopsy that showed a heart necropsy that could never have been fixed at all. My heart is shattered. I definitely plan to adopt again, but I’m worried I won’t be able to find another bird so perfect...

Sometimes my baby cockatiel will stand and spread his wings around and I don’t understand why. It looks different than his other stretches for his wings. Is he upset

I’ve been trying to get advice for this though my usual alleys but I’m not getting the information that I need so I’m trying a parrot forum instead. Birds are birds right? I have a baby chicken with a ruptured air sac which I have been treating for WEEKS now and it just isn’t healing. We went...

I've been looking for a baby conure to purchases and found two options which I like but don't know which one to chooses. One is a single factor violet green cheek the other is a crimson bellied. The single factor violet green cheek is a DNA sexed male, 15 weeks old but nippy (which I know is...
