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...

TLDR: looking for advice over extreme anxiety from getting a new bird; tips for adjusting or dealing with thoughts of rehoming Hey all! I’m new to this forum and am not sure I’m posting in the right place. I’ve been lurking for a while, but navigating from the home is still taking some getting...

Can someone please tell me how old this cockatiel baby is? My mom found it under the cage and we don’t know how old it is or how often to feed it.

hello so my 3 months green cheek conure is biteing the cage and he got himself a wound on his beakits like a piece of his beak has been torn or broken like in this picture > (i am not squeasing hard on him i am just holding to take the picture)

So June is on his day 2 with us. Yesterday he spent hours playing with his foraging game we set up, we managed to teach him some simple commands, and he was all-around a great birb. This morning he started out cute, ate his breakfast well, and then bit my ear so hard I thought it was going to...

As the title says, Genji has been having a bit of a rough time the past few days and I'm not sure if it's something that warrants a visit to the emergency vet, or if he can wait for his appointment with his regular vet - in which case, what can I do for him until the appointment? Video posted...

Hey guys, My 16 year old cockatoo who takes heart medicine for the past five years has been taking Cherry Flavour on his liquid meds for a while. He takes it on a treat and is the only way he will. And his pharmacy has recently stopped making the cherry flavour, which he only loves, and I had...

Hi. I used to have budgies but they've unfortunately passed away. I made a lot of rookie mistakes with them, such as being too touchy when they were scared of me, placing them in my bedroom instead of a more public area (Several people in my household). I want to get a larger parrot but i'm...

Hey guys um this is my first time posting here, i hope i'm not messing anything up, and i don't really know much about how this works but i've been needing help getting my little one to the vet and i had no one help me in my life! So i need to figure it out! Maybe you can help? Vet is 4 hours...

My lovebird Shai woke today with an injury, there was blood dried under his right wing. it seems to be on his wing, but i couldnt see any wound so it was either small or closed or its hidden and i couldnt catch it with the look i got. -the bleeding seems to have stopped quite a while ago...

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...
