cockatiel behavior

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...

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'm not sure on the gender because of her age and morph, but considering she is only lightly pied, I'll assume she's a girl.) Well, let me be more specific. It goes halfway down when she's eating. She finally came in via United on monday circa 6:20 pm. She's also flighty! I expected that, but...

My partner and I bought a cockatiel about 3 weeks ago. She's still very young (I was told she was 5 weeks when we got her, but I'm doubtful. Would say more about 8 weeks old, unsure of sex so calling it 'she' for now). She hisses a lot which I know is incredibly common in cockatiels and more-so...

So I've been seeing my tiel do this for a while now. He stands on one foot and stretches his wing out, crest down. Is he just stretching or does it mean something. I've tried to get a picture.. but no luck.

I woke up this morning and my cockatiels eye was closed, watery, and red and puffy. The area around her eye is "sticky" looking. She isn't acting any different, she just has to turn her head a lot to see me like her red eye is swollen shut. What does this mean?:bighug:

my 3 month old tiel has been sleeping a lot the past few weeks and hasent been herself. I've talked to my breeder about my birds behavior which seems like theirs something's wrong with her. Her crop and belly have been full with seeds formula and air. She sleeps whenever we don't play or touch...

I just got my first cockatiel, and he huffs. Not sure how to explain it, but it's kind of like a quick sigh. He opens his mouth and makes this noise. I know it's not hissing, because I've seen him his, and other cockatiels hiss before, and it's different, he doesn't charge anyone when he makes...

Hello everyone .. So I was told that my lutino cockatiel "Pokie" is most likely to be male .. But you can never know for sure ...a few days ago He started masturbating (doesn't start it alone, only when something touches his cloaca), but he stands like a female ( tale up, head down ),yet he's...

Hi a bit of background information I recently bought a 3 month old baby cockatiel from a breeder it is presumed to be a male. I've had him for 2 weeks going on 3 and so far he's been so sweet he allows head scratches and likes being around people recently Ive been staying home and my cockatiel...

I got my cockatiel, Sprite, about a month and 1/2 ago. He was 10 weeks when I got him. I spend every second I'm at home with him. He likes to be out of the cage and likes to sit on me. That is all he wants to do: be on me. I was wondering if he is bonded to me or is indifferent. During night...

Hello I am Scarlett and I am new to the forums. I have two cockatiels and a GCC. One of my cockatiels named Smokey is a female and she has always acted very special. She loves me and she let's me give her scratches to her head. Even though we are this close, she is scared of everything. She has...

Hello. I was wondering what you can do to prevent a tiel from chronic egg laying? I also would like to know how budgies and cockatiels get along, I have heard they get along pretty well? Thanks. :)

Hello, this is my first time here at Avian Avenue, and I'm hoping some long time cockatiel owners can provide me with some advice as to what to do in my situation. I apologize for the length, but my situation is an odd one: I've owned my female cockatiel, Echo, for a little over a year now. She...

I'm writing in behalf of a fellow Instagram follower...here is the information she gave me (I asked more questions and am waiting for response, so I only have limited information for now) She has 2 grey cockatiels, one male and the other female. Both siblings. The male gets aggressive at night...

Huxley used to be out of his cage ALL the time.. (Except for when I wasn't home, and when it was time for bed) When I first got him, I had a mirror in his cage, he became very obssesed with it and agressive when anyone came near. I took it out and ever since he has been the sweetest bird. He...

i am desperate at this point. My cockatiel has gone missing and I don't know where he is. A little history- my cockatiel is a male with grey body, orange cheeks, yellow head, and I beautiful singing voice. His name is Boo. Boo is so well behaved and loving. Boo recently had several eggs with...

hello everyone! I could really use some help with my cockatiel, Sid's behavior. Background: Sid lived with his owner, myself and two other roommates. We're all very close friends. His owner moved and took him, naturally. The owner joined the military and the other roommates (dating) took him...

A while ago she was laying dozen eggs but she has stopped. I'm now seeing her scratching (with her beak) the back feathers mostly. I think it's called "feather plucking" but she's not bald or have bare skin. I have seen some feathers on the floor and on the cage. And, one or two feathers still...

I have a cockatiel who after years suddenly is laying over dozen eggs by herself. Should I consider adding a male. I don't think she would get a long with another cockatiel. What do you think? I once introduced two love birds and had to separate them because one would bite the other.
