Hello all, I am writing because I am worrying about the senegal parrot of my family. For context I do not live home usually and I came back recently, and I can only compare how I see him before and after several months. Here is the story: - we always had trouble getting our bird on pellet...

Hey all, I don't know if this is a normal crop for my tiel Pepper but I noticed it today. (The feather plucking and dry, itchy was from before I got her, and I'm working on taking her to the vet for it. She's also molting so there are feathers growing in. For this post I'm mostly concerned...

Since it was 1 week old it likes to eat a lot and never closes it's beak even when I'm done feeding it. Lately I've noticed that it has a lump on it's chest or crop. Is this good or bad? What should I do?

Hi , this is pepper and is abour 3 weeks and 5 days old , as u can see in the picture , its crop is like this whereas my other parrot that is 4 weeks and 5 days old(i feed it 7 to 8 mls) has a crop looking like that(pretty normal) , is the peppers crop normal ? Is it overstreched ? I feed it...

my gcc (not sure of sex) was doing something weird today. she was furiously bobbing her head up and down with her mouth open and after awhile she spit out what i believe to be pieces of an almond she had eaten earlier. at first i thought this was probably her adjusting her crop of trying to get...

Hello, I am currently having issues with cockatiel chicks crops not completely emptying. This is my second clutch of cockatiels I am handfeeding the first ones had similar problems but I would just give them some extra thin formula mostly made out of Pedialyte and wait for them to drain ( it...

My mom and I decided to hatch some cockatiel eggs and they came out very successful with 2 cockatiels and both of them have recently stopped digesting properly. We realised that we were feed the babies with formula a bit too thick and not hot enough. After waiting for about 8 hours, a friend...

Hello, My cockatiel recently laid two eggs, but stopped taking care for them two days after they hatched. I started handfeeding them, but a day after that the male cockatiel started flying to me every time i fed them. He wanted to participate so I let him as I was holding the chick. He did a...

I'm new to hand raising and feeding cockatiel chicks and it's crop is full but it's feeding time. What do I do?

I'm confused and maybe too much of a worry wart? He didn't spit anything out

hello. so my cockatiel suddenly has her crop swollen as the title says, and i'm worried why. i cannot get her to any vet soon, so i hope some of you might know what's wrong with her and how to treat her. so, a little bit of background and what i suspect; my cockatiel loves eating salted peanuts...

I am a aspiring breeder of cockatiels, but I have no breeders near me so I can't go and ask them these questions, so I came here! I have questions about emptying crops. Do I empty the crop manually all the time or only if they are sick? Any advice at all is very helpful!

I rarely feed my bird sunflower seeds, but just gave her some and she ate the shells as well, probably two or three of them. Should I be super worried? Does anyone have experience with this?
