My bird seems to have a scab/small sore under her beak. She flew into the wall the other day when she got spooked and she seemed a bit shaken up but otherwise normal so i’m thinking that’s when the injury possibly happened. She’s been acting completely normal, eating, drinking, etc. It doesn’t...

Hi! I got my cockatiel two days ago, and it has not been eating or drinking much. I have given my cockatiel some electrolyte solution to help with hydration. And Its droppings are green, sticky, and have a string-like consistency. The droppings are also stuck to its vent, making a mess. I’m...

Hi there! :hello1: I've lurked these forums w/o an account for some time when I first got my GCC, but this is my first time posting! Hoping someone here maybe has either had a bird with this problem or has related experience. Basically, I have a very, very unqiue problem with my 11 year old...

Is this even a thing? My female conure has been acting weird and her crop seems to not be filling though she seems to be eating fine. She seems hungry but can't seem to make up her mind what she wants to eat and has been doing an excessive amount of beak wiping, and she keeps regurgitating after...

Hello, my parrots name is ialani, he is a 25 year old Vosmori. He is having the worst molt of his life. I’m very worried about him. We live in the mountains in Eastern WA and there are no avian vets. He has bald spots on his head, neck, legs. He eats organic fruit and veggies. I have organic...

Hi all, this might be a stupid question, but I'm a first-time tiel parent and I worry a lot... I recently lost my soul budgerigar of 10 years and that makes me extra prone to panic. (well, it was six months ago. but it feels like yesterday.) I just wanted to ask if cockatiels keeping their...

Is microwaving things that have a microwave safe film on them potentially dangerous to birds? The plastic doesn't burn but are the fumes or whatever the plastic can potentially give off any danger? Does anyone microwave things like that around their birds?

Father budgie panting, how can I help him? So around 2 and a half weeks ago my female budgies eggs hatched, all has been good and well until recently we noticed that our male budgie is panting a lot. The female isn't and seems fine. He doesn't seem to be hot as he's not extending his wings...

Hello! So, I have two little adorable birds, and they are specifically budgies. One of my budgies, we’ll call her S, has been having this issue with her throat (?) I am unsure, but it sounds like she’s trying to keep a lot of mucus down. When I got my other budgie, we’ll call him N, he always...

I found out that I have pink eye last night. I am wondering if my cockatiel can get pink eye from me. I found many different answers on google and other resources and I’m not sure if they are true. If anyone can tell me if birds can get sick with pink eye or can I contact them with sick and...

Hi i have two cockatiels Loki and Gutu. Loki is a 9 months old boy and Gutu is a 11 months old girl. Gutu is really active, she likes to fly around in the house and check up on us! Loki likes to sit around a lot. He doesn't fly much. He only flys when he gets scared. But what i have noticed he...

Louise usually flies like a champ. Tonight, however…Omg. Louise just flew to me in my room, went to land, panicked, flew into the bathroom...and landed IN THE TOILET BOWL. She bypassed her play stand and other perching places. I got her out in seconds, tried to rinse her feet, nope. Misted...

Hey all, So Chewy paid a visit to the vet last month and all seemed well. I had them file his beak because there was a bit of a top layer that had developed on it. I know that flakey beaks are normal during moulting, however to vet said to keep an eye on it because overgrowth can be related to...

So, I’ve recently noticed that my African Grey: Ms. Bailey has developed red spots on the tops of her feet. They look to be sores. She sleeps in a cat-bed since she can’t fit in regular, parrot-huts and she has recently laid infertile eggs that she has been sitting on for a while now. I noticed...

I am looking to buy a new lovebird for my mom.. We came across this lovebird that is hand fed, very sweet, and 6 months old. She seems normal but there are some things that concern me… the woman at the store says she’s half priced because of her age. Also her beak seems odd. I would love to get...

A few months ago I got a flock of nine different chickens, all hand raised and I pay a lot of attention to all of them. One of my birds, a Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam Which I've named Also Mine, Amy, or Amelia). I've noticed some strange behaviour around her, and did some tests and I'm fairly...

Female Eclectus parrot about 17 years old she is on her perch with wings drooped and straining in distress. She has some clear droppings with a small amount of white. She is clearly straining as if trying to go to the bathroom but can’t. I’ve had her for almost all her life, and have no clue...

I got my cockatiel in 2017. I’ve had her 3 years, starting to turn into 4 years in a few months. I’m not too well informed about female cockatiel breeding knowledge since I’ve never experienced any of that kind of behaviour from my bird. I just thought that I didn’t need it. I noticed since the...

Her age is between 3 and 5 months, and she seems to always be either eating or sleeping. It looks to me like she's eating a fair bit over the recommended daily food amount for tiels, and whenever she's not eating she's asleep or foraging for more food. To me she looks like she might be a bit...

Hi! My name is Bean. My baby Didgeridoo just had an amputation and is in a cone. Prior, whenever me or my fiancee is home he is out of his cage free to fly. He isn't taking well to being in a cone, a smaller cage, and unable to fly around. He is now plucking/pulling at the bars which he's never...
