    Why is my cockatiel chewing on his chest?

    Hi everyone My cockatiel Westley recently started chewing on his chest feathers, but only the ones as far up as he can reach, just under his beak/cheeks. He’s not plucking them, just nibbling on them. I’ve checked for pin feathers or anything that might be bothering him and he seems fine...

    Stopped Singing/whistling

    My Cockatiel, Sunny, has stopped singing/whistling. He acts like he is completely fine; he eats, drinks, stool is normal, chirps, and interacts with me. The only thing he stopped was singing/whistling. I don’t think he is going through a molting period either. Does anyone know what is going on...

    Does the question make sense? I've adopted an adult male cockatiel (Miu), he's very sweet and tame. We've had him for a few years now. Recently my mom brought home a 3 week old cockatiel chick, Miu is very interested and always observes me feeding the baby. Whenever he gets close to the baby...
