    My cockatiel keeps trying to lay eggs?

    Hello everyone! My cockatiel's name is Snow and she's about 4 years old. In December she laid eggs for the first time and then again last month, which I know is normal.

    How often do you weigh your birds?

    I'm not super consistent with how often I weigh them and wanted to see how often everyone else does it? I am however super detailed and organized with it when I do haha.

    How much should I feed my bird?

    when I say how much I mean like how many cups. I have a green cheek conure, about 6 months old. The pet shop I got him from was feeding him half seed and half pallets, and I'm doing that, I just don't know how much I'm meant to be giving him every 24 hours. I give him 3/5 of a cup in the morning...

    Is this a good diet for budgies?

    Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice regarding my budgies’ diets. I give them ZuPreem fruit blend pelleted food as a daily diet staple. Once or twice a week I will give them a commercial seed blend as a treat, as well as some spray millet. My real questions regard what I prepare for them...

    Budgie broken toe?

    Yesterday, I noticed strange behavior in my budgie, Skylar. When he would hop from perch to perch, it seemed he would struggle to keep his grip. He would flap with his wings frantically and try to grab the perch with his beak in order to fully land on the perch. He did this multiple times and I...

    Pictures Soft section of beak?

    Hello, I've recently noticed that part of my macaw's, Ollie, beak appears to be soft in an area. It is a small section on her upper beak along the bottom edge, on both sides. I was wondering if this was normal, maybe her beak is growing? When I touch it she doesn't react, no pain or anything...

    High quality scale

    Found what appears to be an AWESOME scale! I really hate items made from cheap materials. Looking for scales seemed to be an exercise in futility. All the options on Amazon were cheap, plastic, flimsy looking items. I always prefer industrial grade if I can. Well, I found this awesome looking...

    Urgent Broken Toe?

    So my conure isn’t using one of his toes to grab and it’s just sticking out straight. He doesn’t care if I touch or move it but he does favor it a bit. Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

    Is safe to keep an Amazon and a cockatiel's cage very close to eachother?

    The thing is, I have commissioned a huge cage for my parrots: a Blue-Front Amazon and two cockatiels. The cage will be big enough for housing the three birds, and an additional panel (with little holes so they can't bite eachother) will be added to separate both sides, one for each species...

    My cockatiel is puking up a green liquid

    I’ve had my cockatiel for 3 months now and all has been well. Though about 15 minutes ago I noticed him doing something really weird. At first he reels back his head as if he’s about to clean his feathers right below the neck. Then he shakes his head like a dog and a green liquid/paste flies...
