Hello everyone. I got some new budgies a few days ago and yesterday evening I noticed two of them have yellow coloured feathers around their eyes. I would appreciate any advice on whether or not this is harmful and if I need to go and visit a vet.

My cockatiel’s foot is badly swollen and she is hardly able to move, she has been on her perch since morning and I don’t know what to do, she not tamed so I can’t touch her which might scare her and there is no vet nearby too, please help.

Hi all - Has anyone experienced bird mites or bird mites in spray millet?! I am very concerned because I think I've spotted mites while cleaning up after my bird. I have a suspicion that they might have been blood mites, so I inspected my bird's head and feet a few hours after lights out...

hello! So lately (since yesterday) I have noticed my 5 month old sun conure Skylar’s one foot is red. It looks kind of irritated but I don’t know. He spends a lot of time on the sides of his cage. I believe this is because he is a baby and doesn’t quite grip the perch well yet. Anyway I was...

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...
