    URGENT. Molting gone slightly aggressvie

    Greetings everyone! So my birbs are going through their molting and everyone's fine and dandy except for JoJo worrying me a tad. He's 4 yrs by now, and has developed a habit of plucking his faulty down feathers. He's around me most of the time so I notice the plucked bits being either small...

    Cockatiel with crop infection

    My 13 week old cockatiel has a confirmed crop infection. She is on amoxicillin and clavulanic acid antibiotics which are provided at 0.1 mg twice a day on a 5 day course. She is taking it very well! My only question is, because the vet said I don't need to come back to ensure its cleared up...

    Male or Female?

    Hi all, Please can someone tell me the sex of my nearly 14 month old cockatiel? The breeder said it was male, however I've read online that males lose their pearls between 6-12 months. He/she has had a molt, although not sure if it was a full molt or not. Anyone know by looking at the...

    Hormonal Bird?

    I've been having problems with my male cockatiel, Bruno. I love him so much — he's been my buddy for about six years, and he's around that age too. He's always been such a gentleman: got along with everyone, loved scritches, and although he can't sing in tune to save his life (lol), he tries —...

    Is my grey male cockatiel split to pied?

    Is there a way to tell? I’m wondering if the yellow spots on the back of his head might indicate he’s split to pied.

    I think I'm making progress with my cockatiel Zaria :D

    Zaria was very anxious ever since i got her, unlike my previous bird Azumi she's taking more time, which i fully understand and respect though! She's been pretty quiet all the time, though today she made noise of her own which immediately caught my attention, I probably then took it a little too...

    HI!!

    My name's Azeriah (he/him) and I'm a teen that's a new bird owner with an interest for birds in general, but lack of actual experience. I'd love to find advice and meet cool people here. I found this place months ago when considering getting a bird, though now that I actually do own one I want...

    Urgent Cockatiel Vomited Overnight

    Woke up this morning to see my boy had vomited overnight. As of me posting this, I am currently waiting to contact the avian vet an hour away; conveniently their office closes from noon to 2pm for a staff meeting so I have to wait :( This is the first time he's ever vomited and I did notice...

    Territorial Aggression out of nowhere? Help needed

    Before I start this, I will say that any replies to this made after this coming Tuesday, February 4th will not be relevant anymore, as I have decided with a heavy heart that Mickey will be going to a different owner. I've lost my income recently and thus I will no longer be able to afford to...

    Hi everyone. I’m first time owner of a parrot. I have a cockatiel for about 2 months now. I took him from a pet shop and they told me he/she was born sometime in 2024. We are bonding well.

    Is fresh rosemary safe for cockatiels?

    Hi everyone, I would please like to know if fresh rosemary is safe for my cockatiel to eat? I have a natural rosemary bush in the garden and I thought maybe it would be a good idea to give him some fresh herbs. Thank you to everyone who answers I highly appreciate it.

    Eating Poop

    I just got home and Mickey was eating his poo! He's been doing this all day even after I've cleaned out his cage TWICE! He's been eating it for the past few hours, is there any reason why he's doing this even after I've given his cage a good clean?

    Mirror Concerns

    So Mickey's starting to take to the idea of having his cage door open with him on the perch that's on it. I'm more than enthusiastic about this, except for one thing; there's a mirror right next to his cage. His cage is partially covered by a towel to keep him from seeing it, but I need to know...
