Hello! So I had a cockatiel today as a rehome as the other birds in the cage were "picking" on him. I was looking for a companion for my laid back boy so I decided to take him in. So we got home and he's settling in to his new cage (separate cage to current boy) and he has turned out to be a...

Hi again! I’m curious about what schedule everyone feeds their birds on. I have 2 cockatiels and because I work at a farm stand they get fresh veggies daily, but i’m big on preventing waste as well. What i’ve been doing is buying a list of veggies for the week, and giving them the same thing...

Hi everyone, im making this post for advice. I'm was thinking about possibly rehoming my 6 year old female cockatiel :( (which is absolutely devastating for me to even think about). For some context, I got her when I was in high school after my brother got a cockatiel (who unfortunately died)...

Hi, I got a cockatiel for 4-5 days now, he is not tame really afraid of hands and some other stuff (Millet stick) First two days when I would change/clean his food bowl, he'd get really scared and flop around his cage while I was trying to get his food and water, even though I'd softly talk and...

I have a six year old cockatiel and all day today she has had black-looking droppings that are dark brown if looked at closer. She is acting completely normal (eating and drinking etc) so i'm not sure if I should be worried. I did take her to see my mom 4 days ago who has a conure and a yellow...

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...

Hello! I currently own two cockatiels. Bébé was my first, who just turned four. She came from a shizzty bird store but at least seemed to be parent raised and grew up with other tiels. She has always been very timid but in time became a very sweet and curious tiel. However because of her...
