    Video Weird Behavior

    So for the past week I’ve noticed Kiwi doing this sometimes. It looks kind of like crop adjusting or something, so I’m worried that it might be some kind of crop infection (AGY?) He makes beak grinding sounds when it happens, but it doesn’t look normal. Anyone have any idea what this is? I’m...

    Unusual caique poop

    Hello new to this forum. I have a Caique, around 12 years old. He's generally been more active lately and is always vocal and ready to come out. He plays in his cage and occasionally takes naps with his leg up. I gave him carrots and jalapeño this morning and he happened to have this kind of...

    Gooey yellow poop, but only once?

    Hi there! I adopted a 3-month-old budgie girl about 5 days ago. She is starting to adjust to her cage and get comfortable with my presence, she eats great, and seems generally healthy aside from a bit of dry sneezing (my apartment is a bit dry in the winter and she’s molting). Two days ago, I...

    head shaking conure

    Lately (as in this morning), my gcc has started rapidly shaking her head. When I tried to look it up, all I could get was information on head bobbing or African Greys. This is not head bobbing but a side to side really quick shaking of her head, like when a dog shakes out their fur, but it's...

    Is my budgie sick?

    I've heard so many stories about tail bobbing and the bird dying the same day and I am so freaked out! Is this sort of tail bobbing okay? I don't know if he's breathing hard or if he's just moving around. In my country, only emergency vet services are considered essential, everything else is...

    My Female budgie is squeaking??

    My male and female budgie just recently had 5 eggs, two of which hatched nearly two weeks ago. In recent days I’ve noticed the female budgie making a high pitched squeaking noise that almost sounds like a mouse. Furthermore, she seems to be chasing the male and trying to make him feed her but he...

    Hi everyone, I have one cockatiel, a 12 year old female grey, who I’d hope to find a new companion for since her sister died 2 years ago. Yesterday I bought a cockatiel from a pet store.
