Hi! I recently purchased an expensive and large second hand Kings Cages cage for my African grey. After taking it home I saw that there are a few small rusty spots on it. What should I do to fix it?

hello all! i currently own a female cockatiel who i cannot have within my house right now for one year (august 2024-2025) due to family issues… this is sadly a stressful situation for me as i love her deeply and do not want to potentially rehome her, but cannot find a place locally (phoenix az)...

Hello All, My second time posting here. The first time, I was very impressed by the answers I received. Thank you so much. I have tried to include as much relevant information as I can in my question, but please let me know if you have a follow-up question for me. This topic of this question is...

I have a 5 year old cockatiel who lives with 3 other cockatiels in the same cage and 2 galahs in a different home in the same room. For most of his life, he’s consistently build up blockage in his nostrils that needs clearing every few weeks to few months when it starts impacting his breathing...

Hi, sorry it's going to be a long one because I want to include everything. In December I sadly lost 2 of my budgies due to what I believe was a toxin in the air. I've bought a new air purifier and an air quality monitor now to make sure that never happens again. My budgie that was left had...

So the time has come; I need to go to the vet with my B&G, Hugo. I have noticed some red areas underneath both of his feet, and although I have seen this before, I think it has gotten worse. I have read about something called “bumblefoot” on the internet. However, I am scared to the bones that...

Hiya! (there is a TLDR) In September 2023 my mum decided to adopt two male cockatiels. They had been with their previous owners for about 7-8 years and are about 8-9 years old. My mum has gotten sick so I’ve been looking after them pretty much since we got them (about 7 months). The area...

Ever since we adopted this parakeet three years ago, my parakeet, Mac, makes this weird noise EVERY time he takes a drink of water. Here is the link to a youtube video of him exhibiting the behavior - Odd parakeet behavior after every drink - I hope you can all see it. A about a month ago, Mac...

I have my fridge in the corner of the living room. The ‘sleep’ cage(aka their normal one) is right across of it about 2m away , slightly to the left. I have measured the noise of the fridge when it does make it with a app once or twice and it was about 30-34db then, but it sounds a lot louder...

Help! Give me link to Ivermectin 0.1% - Mite treatment for small birds I have 4 budgies and 2 cockatiels all I believe have feathered mites. One showing signs for 2 months vet can’t see me till May 13. I don’t want them to die. The ones that’s bad has gotten super bad in 1 day. All feathers...

My parrot's eyes are half open and the bottom area looks swollen. She also has her mouth open and makes a squeaking noise, kind of like a dog toy ever so often. We have been to the vets (stated it was an avian vet) but I don't think it was. I have an appointment on Thursday to see an avian vet...

So I posted a thread a while back now asking for some moulting advice with my sparrow, and now I keep having this new issue that I'm not sure how to resolve but I'm worried for his safety. So I mentioned in the previous thread that he is very skittish and gets easily frightened. There have been...

Hi everyone, im making this post for advice. I'm was thinking about possibly rehoming my 6 year old female cockatiel :( (which is absolutely devastating for me to even think about). For some context, I got her when I was in high school after my brother got a cockatiel (who unfortunately died)...

I’ve had Blueberry for about a year now I got him when he was 11 months old. He was the bird no one wanted because how aggressive he was, ofc I took him because he deserves love just like anyone else! He’s not aggressive with me what’s so ever but everyone else he will scream at, he will never...

I believe my LoveBird is a Fischer lovebird from what I can tell. I got her in a local pet store. There are no adoption centers near me. I love this bird to death but I am curious if she is a hybrid I have read that hybrids can have health issues and would like some insight.

Hi I’m concerned on whether my green cheek is molting or not. He just turned 1 year old recently and lately I’ve been noticing his chest feathers going away and on the floor. I don’t know the difference between if he’s plucking or if he’s just molting and would like some sort of clarification...

Hi, I got a cockatiel for 4-5 days now, he is not tame really afraid of hands and some other stuff (Millet stick) First two days when I would change/clean his food bowl, he'd get really scared and flop around his cage while I was trying to get his food and water, even though I'd softly talk and...

Hi guys! Could someone who knows help me identify the age and gender of the birb? Thank you in advance!

I don’t know if this is the right place to get advice for a BCC… but I recently adopted “Claira” renamed Bluebelle. My son liked blue, I liked belle… and boom. Anyways… I went into a parrot store for a meet and greet 3 times. Put down a deposit. I could tell she was scared, anxious and unsure...
