cockateil

Hiya! a friend of mine is re-homing his fully tame 2 year old female cockatiel. She is a delight and i would love to give her a loving home however i have a pair of lovebirds that we are fairly certain are male, around 3 months old who we are hand taming ourselves . Has anyone had any experience...

A little background... I had budgies when I was younger, my husband had tiels when he was younger, and we have had a tiel for a year. I've always wanted other breeds. About 3 months ago we decieded to add a sun conure to our home, when we went to meet our baby we fell in love with a green...

I went the other day to pet shop/breeder and he was trying to sell pair cockatiel male and female 18 months old with layed eggs that are a week old, should I get them am scared the pairs would panic and get aggressive cus of the new environment leading to unborn cockatiels I want to breed...

Yesterday I adopted a senior cockatiel, from a rescue, who's owner passed away and apparently she did not know a bird could be handled and never took him out of the cage. He is taking treats out of my hand but will not move out of the corner of the cage. I sit and talk and whistle and he sings...

hey everyone, i need some advice. so last week i got myself my first ever parrot pet - a cockatiel. he’s a male and his name is luigi. i’ve read many guides and i have a general idea on how to take proper care of him. now, i know that it is strictly not allowed to put your hand into the cage...

Hello! I'm very worried about my bird, i recently got a new cagcage for him and he's been pooping red droppings. The blood isn't in the urine, but only in the poop itself. I can't really tell if it's bright or dark red. It's been about an hour and I'm not for sure if it's cleared up or not, some...

I was thinking on switching my 4 month old cockatiel, Mika, from his seed diet to a pellet diet. I've looked into some different brands of pellets but I'm still not for sure which one to get.. I feel like the seeds are a little too fatty for him, so far he won't really eat any other fruits or...

Mika has a tendancy to try and fly to me if I'm not handling him, though he is trimmed and usually falls to the ground and lot if I can't catch him last moment. Today I brought I'm into the bathroom with me and he ended up jumping off the toilet seat, bending another one of his feathers:( what...

Hello! I've recently gotten a pet cockatiel named Mika on Saturday (2/3/4), so I've had her for about 5 days. My mom says I should put toys in her cage while I'm at school so she's not so bored, though I'm not for sure on how to introduce her to them. I have a few different ones to show her, but...

Hi! :hi: I'm new to the forum and I figured I'd ask for some advice from more experienced parrot owners. I'm a proud budgie mom with the funniest little boy but as much as I love him, he's not as "advanced" as I'd like. I really want a bird who will be more playful and affectionate and I've...

So my bird has just gotten over his first molt. Stressful, hormonal and cranky. But in the end we made it thru ok. He looks great and it gave him a chance ( us a chance ) to experience what flight feathers bring to the table. Since December he has lost three of his new feathers, making him very...

Hello everybody, My dear Kory hes start to behave strangely. Most of the time he walking aroud in the house and tweets and when he wants silence that he could sleep, he tweet loudly. But now he only sits below the water canister as shown in the picture and he is slightly more aggressive(bites...

Hello i was giving my cockatiel a bath (by letting the sink water run) and my cockatiel put his nose under the water then keeping his mouth slightly open and making a cheeping-ish sound, with a sneeze. Is this okay, or should i be keeping my bird from doing this?

so I saw the cutest little tiel at the bird store today. I almost walked out the door with him, but I figured I should think about it. So he is almost 3 months old and is already bigger than my current cockatiel (lutino). Should I worry about the whole "simalar beak size rule" or should I not...

I got him from a pet store, the owner said she raised and hand fed him and his siblings in her home. Then moved them to the store where i bought him. Unfortunately all of them had clipped wings. I got him July 12th. He tries to fly, but he just ends up falling. Is it that his feathers haven't...

Hi I am the owner of 2 male budgie's Tom and Jerry who are 3 yrs old and just adopted two male cockatiels roughly 18 months old. My main aim to get the tiels Golom and Gandelf to take food from me and hopefully sit on my hand. I don't know my tiels history but they have certainly perked up...

i've never had a cockatiel and i usually have school during weekdays for 6-7 hours a day. i heard if they're at home alone for a period of time they can get stressed and stuff. would it be fine if i'm gone for that amount of time and come home and immediately take my bird out and talk/play with...

We recently, within the past few months, rescued a female cockatiel. We didn't know any of her history at all. So, we brought her to the vet, had her sexed, poop tested, and a full blood workup. We had noticed upon first taking her that her weight fluctuated GREATLY and that all she'll eat is...

So I can confirm James is a female I will now happily be calling Rain. After having some suspicious He was a She I started researching egg laying since I've heard other owners talking about it with some fear. Of course as I'm researching for something I hope won't happen for months I start to...

Hibou has been single since I got him almost 2 years ago (in other words; his entire life so far). He has mirrors, toys, and lots of attention to keep him happy. Though, I have been wondering lately, as he's become far more vocal and clingy, would he be happier with a mate? He also gets very...
