My 2 year old cockatiel just sneezed and some blood came out. I immediately called my vet but they can't see her until a week from now. I still made the appointment but in the meantime I'm so scared for her and I don't know what to do. She's still eating and drinking and it might just be because...

Please help.. I brought home a 3mth old cockatiel yesterday. It has been in the same position where I left it, no movements and not a single sound. I have not seen it eat or drink by itself. It nibbed on some millet when I hand-fed it but that was it. It is tamed and is not afraid of hands. I am...

Hello, I have decided to join the site. My bird, Charlie, is 2 years old. She has been doing very well since I moved about a year and a half ago. I got Charlie from Omars Exotic Birds and she has gotten much bigger. These are pictures from 2020 when I got her at the pet store vs now. -Matt

This afternoon a neighbor gave my mom a white canary he found at his door, thinking it was hers(it wasn’t). She took it inside and it’s currently staying in my room uncaged. My mom wants to keep it saying she’ll buy a cage and everything for it tomorrow. The bird has no leg band but doesn’t...

A little over a year ago we got our first bird a two month old green cheeked conure we named Hobgoblin aka Hobs. Over the course of the year he has become a bright, snuggly, fun little bird. We enjoy him very much. Yesterday we decided to add to the flock and brought home a 5 month old pearl...

Hello! I have a cockatiel, Nova, that’s 1.5 years old and recently adopted a caique I was told is around 3 years old. I didn’t get into parrots until a little over a year ago and am learning as much as I can when I have time. My caique, Loki, is such a fun and intelligent little guy. I’ve only...

Hi, hope you all are doing well with all your feathered friends. Mine on the other hand is extremely sick. I got a 2 week old cockatiel, Mini, which already had a severe case of sour crop. The vet asked me to mix the handfeed with gripe water and prescribed Nystatin along with cephalexin twice a...

Hello! i have a two year old cocktiel, Ducky. She has been hiding a lot more these days. She usually hides but she has been hiding behind pillows a lot more since yesterday. She seems tired and suddenly isn’t as hungry anymore. She still eats a normal amount, but isn’t as interested in food...

Nimbus is a white-faced cockatiel believed to be a he as he was very vocal and mates a lot. He flew to my house around February this year and I have kept him since I could not find his owner. He looked happy and lived well with my family at that time. We decided to get him a 3-month-old friend...

Hello! First time poster. I have a 15 year old male cockatiel. I am from the UK and we are having a major heatwave right now where temperatures are going up to 40 degrees Celsius! I know that may not seem hot to many people, but our houses here are built to keep heat in and no one has air...

Hello, I currently moved apartments and my cockatiel has gotten hormonal since. I previously had her in a dark bedroom without a cover and she was doing great but now currently live in a studio apartment and had to use a cage cover to limit her daylight/light hours. The cage cover was somewhat...

I have 2 cockatiels, both around 7 months old, and they've recently started to mate. I read online that they are too young to mate and it can be unsafe/unhealthy for them and their potential babies so I have separated them. At what age is it safe for them to start mating and making babies?

Hello, I took my cockatiel out of her cage this morning and found that her feathers had a strange color right under her wings. Is this something to be concerned about?

I have 2 babies who are 5 weeks old. The parents are raising them but I hold them and show them affection. One is a normal grey but I’m curious as to the other baby. It is much lighter in color. Mom is a pearl and dad is a grey. I’ll share pics of the family so I can get some advice. I’m...

My cockatiel has taken to shrill screaming all day long, regardless of if I am near her or away. She has toys of every kind and a large cage and is free to leave and enter her cage as she pleases all day long (cage door is always open). I assume that her screaming is related to her being hungry...

Hi my one and a half year old cockatiel has been itching like crazy and when she preens will make little painful cries. I'm not sure if shes maybe shes itchy because she about to molt? But she hasn't started losing feathers so I'm not sure. Will they get itchy before molting? Could it be mites...

This is Jack. He is turning 22 years old this month, and is very sweet. He still likes to fly whenever he can, even though when he walks he hunches over like a vulture.
