    Feather ID Challenge! (just for the fun of it)

    Hi bird owners! I have put together some photos of the moulted feathers I have collected from our 5 cockatiels (now 4, one was given to someone who could provide her with a mate). Some of the photos don't have the letter in the pic, but you can see it in the filename (e.g cockatielBwing). I'll...

    I lost my feather baby today

    My cockatiel, Bella, flew away today, and I feel horrible. It was a nice sunny day today, and my mum suggested I take my Bella outside whilst she was in her cage, so she could catch some sun whilst I sat there with her in the backyard. But whilst she was hand-raised by her previous owner (we got...

    Blue eyed Cockatiel?

    Ok everyone, I know I have already done one post on this where I was told that blue eyes is a baby thing, but she's about 17+ weeks now and she still has blue eyes. She is already moulting her feathers and has lost and regrown a few primaries and tail feathers, so she is soon going to be...

    Senegal in a Double Cage with Cockatiel?

    Hey everyone! I am looking to add another species to my flock and am highly considering a Senegal. With that said, the cages I am looking at are all within the $100-$200 range. I have two cockatiels in their own cage. If I got a Senegal, could it be kept in this double cage NEXT to my...

    Found out that my "male" tiel is a female.

    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...

    Found out my baby's wings are clipped...

    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...

    Kenny update part 2

    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...

    Update on Kenny!

    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...

    New cockatiel

    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...

    HELP!!! Bird sneezing after medication??

    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...

    My Baby Cockatiel Fell From His Perch

    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...

    Help: Poop Analysis

    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...

    Thoughts on getting a second bird

    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...

    Self-Enrichment?

    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...

    Encourage Cockatiel to Explore Outside His Cage??

    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...
