cockatiel

I lost my poor Lucifer. He flew out the door sunday. I found him monday morning but I couldn't reach him and ended up scaring him off when I panicked. I live at the border of Kempner and Copperas Cove, near the fire department and animal shelter. I last saw him flying towards cove but he could...

I have owned cockatiels for more then 15 years now however the last two years were very rough on me and them - think basement apartment not much variety in diet. Since moving I have made a consistent effort to expand their diet, reintroduce pellets and chop etc Now here is the issue I've noticed...

Hi I have a 5 year old female cockatiel who just constantly screams and calls for me. I can't leave her by herself for even a second without her immediately screaming for me and acting very anxious. I know it's because she's very bonded to me but I want her to be able to hang out in her cage...

I'm Solstice from Sydney, Australia! I have loved birds ever since I saw a cage of budgies at a fair a few years ago. Since then I've done much research about them and especially their genetics - I have memorised the mutations of cockatiels, conures, macaws, lorikeets and budgies. I'm getting...

Hey everyone, I am in the U.S. and am looking at possibly moving to Canada (most likely Ontario) while I work towards a Master's degree. I am a dual citizen, if that changes anything. I will be driving from the U.S. through Buffalo, NY to Ontario. I will be bringing my two budgies (Atticus...

hello everyone, i need help. i’ve seen lots of posts like this, so forgive me for sounding repetitive, but my female cockatiel (around 4 years old) has recently become hormonal on and off for months and it’s honestly becoming so stressful for my whole house. what happens is she starts going...

I just came back from the vet and my tiel Pepper was diagnosed with atherosclerosis. I got her at 4-ish years old (now 7-8ish) as a rescue from a previous home who didn't care for her well (all seed diet, constant access to mirrors, small cage, trauma with little children...). She had an issue...

Just wondering if I should be concern about the green in one of her nostril. She acts like normal and eats as usual. I did give my birds broccoli the other day but I didn't notice it before today. She does sneezes but it's usually after preenning (she's molting).

Hey guys so my hot water system died and just got replaced, for context I’m in a little one bedroom open plan apartment so there’s no separation between the kitchen and the living area, because of this I refuse to have any form of ptfe in the house, I wont even use a hair dryer because I know...

Hi all, it's my first time posting here, so apologies if I havent got the ettiquette down quite yet. I'm looking for advice on rehoming my pair of 'tiels, Spartacus and Cricket. It's something I've been thinking about for a long long time, I only just got permission from my ma, who hasn't seen a...

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...

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...

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...

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 —...

hello!! i have three budgies currently: cottonball (5yrs), storm (3m), and sunny (3m). cottonball is pretty mild mannered and gentle, sunny is pretty chill also (although he's not that bright), and storm is the troublemaker of the flock. my family is looking to get a cockatiel, but i'm wondering...

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.

Hello ! My male lutino cockatiel is currently breeding my white face female ! What will the babies turn out looking like ?:)

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...

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...
