whats wrong with her tail pointing down like that? it seems like she is trying to push something out. her tail feathers get wide open and then closed every minute or so. maybe an egg? she has been nesting recently and today her poops were watery(had more water than usuall). but i cant see a...

So long story short, I bought Kenny at a Petco because the nearest breeder is 3-4 hours away and my car is falling apart. Besides that, lol Petco told me that Kenny is a male, and I specifically wanted a male, so I didn't have to deal with egg binding. 4-5 months passed after I bought Kenny, and...

Hey everyone, I recently found a feather on the bottom of Kenny's cage that looked cut. For some reason I didn't make the connection that his wings were clipped, so I did some research, and last night I discovered that his wings are indeed clipped...I called Petco about it and they said they...

It's been almost 3 weeks since my boyfriend and I bought Kenny, I was very worried at first about how he'd adjust but he's doing so much better! (even though he is still very quiet and only chirps every so often) I've learned to not handle him until he's fully comfortable. I'm starting to leave...

My other thread explains everything, Kenny (my 1-year-old cockatiel I got from Petco about a week ago) I finally got his bigger cage and new foraging toys! He hasn't explored his new toys yet but to be fair he is still getting used to his bigger cage. In my last post I mentioned that he wasn't...

I recently (about 5 days ago) bought a new tiel, his name is Kenny and he’s about 1 year old. Unfortunately I had to get him from petco (there are no cockatiel breeders near me) so I have a lot of taming to do. I have him in a cage right now that’s kind of too small (don’t worry I have a new...

PLZ HELP!! I have been giving my tiel an oral medication for 1 week because he had blood in his droppings, which is now gone! HOWEVER, a few days ago, my tiel started violently sneezing at night, every hour I'd say and it has been going on since. He seems to be fine during the day, he dances...

I have a 3 weeks old baby cockatiel, he already got most of his feathers, he's very active and playful. Recently I bought a new perch for him to stand on because I want to train him to get used to perching, so I often put him on his perch frequently, he can stay up there very well these days...

I currently have a pair of cockatiels (their little daughter passed away last week). Although they are not showing any signs of distress or suffering, I am a little worried about their health after what happened to their daughter (star gazing, and possibly some other complications). So, anything...

Hi all! I am sorry for the long post. I have an almost 2 year old tame male cockatiel. He is an absolute love bug, wants to be with me at all times, and demands a good scritch/cuddle session multiple times a day. I have had him for just about a year now. As this year comes to an end, I am...

Good evening! It’s quite late right now for me, Ive never used this website before but I already love it! This is urgent I really need everyone’s help! Today I went to pick up a female cockatiel from the same breeder I got my first cockatiel Coconut from, she seemed okay in the picture but when...

Hello, I have had my tiel for a few months now and he is starting to bond with me. However, I have a slight issue with him being completely inactive when he's put away in his cage. He stays on the same perch for most of the day and only moves to be let out of his cage or to eat. He just sits...

Hi, How do I encourage my tiel to explore out of his cage? He only wants to come out when I'm near and when I have treats. He eats and then goes right back in his cage. Sometimes he perches on my arm and i step away from his cage but then he freezes and immediately flies back. If I don't have...

Hi all, after my last bird flew away (Theres a post about it) I decided to get another one... I just couldn't bear having no cockatiel to wake up to everyday, so we got Bobby! Thing is... Since we got him (Just yesterday) he hasn't ate, he has pooped a few times, his tail feathers are a bit...

Hello to all my non Australians, it is currently 3am. Our power went out and turned back on causing the 2 cockatiels to have a night fright. I'm sitting with them calming them down and I notice that violet is bleeding. Its been a good 20 minutes now and no more blood. I think she has...

Hello all! so my little guy is now 16 weeks old the past two days his behaviour has changed suddenly; he’s stopped talking (he would talk ALOT) and he’s started biting and chewing things more, including my fingers and everything in his cage. He used to never bite me and is a very cuddly...

Hey all! I am getting a cockatiel very soon but I’m struggling to find good quality pellets in my country. They only have Vetafarm and Harrison’s. I would get Harrison’s but it’s $110 for only 2kg,how long would this last for a 3 month old cockatiel? Seeing if it’s worth the price. does...

Hello there :) what pellets would you recommend for a cockatiel with FLD (fatty liver disease) ?

So for the past 5 months my cockatiel has been scratching around his head and sneezing uncontrollably...I’ve taken him to the vet 3 times which has been very expensive. currently he’s on medication but it doesn’t seem to work. does anyone know what I can do
