HELP! So my cockatiel is 8 months old, he’s gotten a recent vet checkup and everything was okay they said , his blood looks good and appearance . His droppings are regular, he’s eating , pretending , flying okay and balancing normally. But I’ve recently noticed black spot on his feather as well...

So I've had my parakeets about a month. My older one will let me touch his chest and sometimes get on my finger/hand but he's still very hesitant on those and doesn't really like it at all unless I have millet. He let me the other day stroke his whole head and back and even preen his head, then...

Any advice (other than go to an avian vet- we don't have many here so are hard to get into, they are a 5 hour drive which just stresses them out more, and they just charge $750 a visit to take a fecal smear and say it's fine)??? I have a 15 year old pearly conure female with a history of crop...

Hi! I am thinking of cutting an egg carton in half and using it as kind of a ladder toy for my birds (will lean it up against against a perch.) When I got my budgies from the pet store, they where unfortunatly clipped. Thankfully, they are growing back and they can sort of fly (can't really go...

So earlier this week my house had a Covid scare and so I had to leave Mickey :tiel5: home alone with my relatives because I have a weak immune system. I left for a few days because all of the Covid positive people tested negative and were determined to be non contagious, and while I was gone my...

Hey y'all So Im not sure if this is the right thread, but I'm building an outdoor aviary and have a question. I'm using a Hardware cloth mesh (predator proof, safe for parrots, safe spacing, etc), cage clips, and a stainless steel lock. So everything with that is fine. It's a strong mesh so I...

Hello! Yesterday, I adopted two bonded lovebirds, and I'm currently working on helping them feel comfortable with me and settle into their new home. I initially had them in a separate room, but this morning I moved them to the living room to get them used to our presence. In the other room, they...

My bird had been acting strange lately he would be fine in the morning playing singing and preening himself but when the sun goes down he gets too sleepy to the point he won’t woke up at all even if i give him his favourite food he wouldn’t ear or drink he wasn’t like this at all he was...

My Senegal parrot hit her eye before as I said in a previous post. I can't afford to take her to a vet as there is a lack of avian vets in the area and they are outrageously expensive for a poor student like me. Her left lower eyelid is a bit swollen. She was getting better and able to open it...

HELP. Gonna call the vet soon and hope they have helpful information right away. (They are close rn). But basically last night I did blood work for my cockatiel. The nurse did mention that one of his legs had low blood circulation, but he didn’t pay much mind to it. Before I could further...

Is my conure sexually frustrated? Hello, A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I adopted another conure. We already had one conure by the name of Reggae who is 8 months old. The other conure we got (gender is unknown but we refer to her as she) was just weaned before we took her home, she is two...

i’m moving to england from italy in november… how do i manage to bring my two budgies with me? i already checked if my flight’s airline allows birds and they do, but which travel cage should i get? do soundproof travel cages exist? they get easily scared and i don’t want them to die like this…...

I am clueless how to tame my sun conure. It's going to be a bit of reading but I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE :( This beautiful boy (i assume because he hasn't had any egg being over 2 years old) is Com. He is currently molting but other from that, he shows no temperament. However, he refuses to go...

Hi everyone! I hope you can help, We’ve had a cockatiel for roughly 5 years with no problems, roughly 2 years ago we bought 2 conures again no problems. however this last year the cockatiel has laid multiple clutches of eggs obviously all infertile. We don’t know what to do with her, is it...

Hi everyone! I have a quick question, my pair recently had some babies all four hatched (this is all of our first time) but unfortunately one unexpectedly died about 2 days ago at 7 days old (he was the third one). The first two are doing great they’re about 2 weeks old in between yesterday and...

Hello! We had recently lost our amazing little conure, so we decided to adopt another that was in need of a home. We have had this little one for about 4 days now, and this is our second conure. This baby is 8 months old, currently clipped wings (we will not be reclipping) and today it is...

Hello.. As the title says I need a new home for my 3~ year old baby, a white winged parakeet (aka canary-winged parakeet). I’m very ashamed of the way he is being treated currently, and I hope you guys will understand that I’ve been trying my best, even though it probably doesn’t seem like it...

Hello all. Joined here in the hopes to better understand my Cockatiel, Charlie (Chuck). I've had budgies before and had great relationships with them. Carlie however, is proving a different kettle of fish altogether. So I'm here for help, guidance and direction. My first question is. Where is...

I'm at a crossroads honestly, please mention anyone that can help me. Me and my husband have been living with my Sun Conure for more than a year now, she's been with me since 2020, I got her as a baby and weaned her. We moved into a new apartment about 5 months ago and my husband can't stop...

I’ll start off with a thank you to avian avenue and the people sharing their stories. I thought I was prepared for a bird have experience working with and caring for other peoples birds but opted for the economical option of raising chickens and ducks instead of the exotic bird I have always...
