Hello!

So after thinking on it I've decided that I want to adopt a pigeon. I have things like the cage sorted out and we'll be getting a bird-safe air purifier soon. I was planning on replacing our teflon cookware with cast iron since I've used it before and like it well enough but my mother-in-law is gifting us a set of magnalite cookware. I've tried looking into whether or not it's bird-safe but I can't find any information on this front. Some things I've found suggest they could have a nonstick coating added on while others present the opposite idea.

Does anyone know if the magnalite would kill birds?

Hello!

I'm sorry if this is incorrectly posted but I wanted to possibly get more help for an injured goose. This is a post from r/LasVegas

The OP there would appreciate any additional advice!

Thank you and I apologize for any distress!

I’ve had her for over 10 years, I got her as a recognizable lil birb when I was in middle school and I’m 30 now. I have the big cup style feed bowls for her water and food, and she has been sitting on them, usually at sleep time, pooping in her food and water sometimes. I know she just needs a place to properly sit, but she was egg bound a very long time ago (maybe I was a freshman in high school?), and I’m weary of giving her anything resembling a nest. She’s well right now of course, she got a nice bit of scritching done, I think I did a good job lol. I always clear her bowls out and give her fresh seed and water, I just don’t like getting home from work and seeing she dirtied her stuff. I was thinking of getting the ones she has to stick her head in, I just feel bad taking away her only “seat” in the cage. She has a flat perch, she likes the cups though.

I’ve recently gotten a new cockatiel, we don’t know her exact age as she was a surprise gift from my grandmother and the owner didn’t know her exact age only that she was pretty young (based on my experience with them which is admittedly not much she seems to be a little over 1 year old maybe reaching 2) since we got her she has been sleeping quite a bit and not very playful (she wasn’t handled at all so she’s also very wary of us and doesn’t let us get close) we got her to the point where she is comfortable being held for a minute or so but other than that runs away from contact. After a few days she started exploring more and connected with one of our male cockatiels and they are always practically together. Today she was normal when she was taken out of her cage and when she was out back in (since we were leaving) yet when we returned she was sleeping on the floor of her cage (not very new) and when I moved her cage to clean the floor she didn’t react (that wasn’t normal as she normally wakes when moved) so I pet her head through the cage and she barely reacted so I went to act as if I was going to pick her up from behind yet she didn’t react so I gently placed my hand over her and she didn’t move besides open her eyes (VERY strange as she’d have started running by then) I took her out and after a few moment she didn’t try to leave my hand like normal and was very lethargic and trying to sleep. I noticed her water empty and refilled it and gave her some water in a tap to see if she was thirsty and she drank some yet a few minutes later she coughed a few times. When moved to her back or moved upright she would wake but then after a few moments she’d try to go to sleep. I’ve checked for wounds and her beak to see if she ate something she shouldn’t have yet I found nothing, the only difference in todays routine was that I gave her an apple slice yet from what I saw she didn’t touch it. She felt cold to the touch so I blanketed her and after a while took her out and placed her on my palm again, then I noticed her grip was getting weak as she didn’t try to hold onto my fingers. I still felt she was cold so I bundled her up in a blanket and she fell asleep (I checked and she wakes with new stimuli, she just woke a few minutes ago being startled by our ring neck landing near her) I’m not sure what to do. My parents are out currently getting food and I am unable to drive to a vet at least until they arrive back. Is there anything I can do to help her while I wait for them to return?

Hi there, I have two birds I believe they’re both male, but the thing is the blue one is not normal almost? They don’t chirp or talk a lot. Unlike the other one who does regularly, yes they do eat normally and drink. Could it be depression from its clipped wings? I am not the one who clipped them, but from a place I have gotten them from. I didn’t see it at the time and was horrified when I saw the wings for the first time. SIDE NOTE!! They are very weary of everything including me unlike the other one who dosent mind but gets frighten because the other one does spook them.

I’ve noticed just this past week that the urine around my green cheek conures poops have been a little yellowish green, but I am not sure if it’s because it’s just been mixed with his feces or because of his food since the pellets are multicolored and sometimes when he’s eaten a lot of the red or orange ones his poop is more red tinted which makes the urine around it also a bit red tinted. His water was a little green today when I went to refresh it because he likes to put his food in there and maybe he’s been eating more green ones, I don’t know if I’m overthinking or not, he was at the vet 6 months ago and everything in his poop and bloodwork was totally fine. His urates are a perfectly normal white color and the feces are also a normal brownish green, he’s acting totally himself and eating and drinking completely fine. Poop does not have a smell either

My bird was cleaning itself and then started bleeding from the right wing, I applied pressure and made sure it stopped bleeding but when placed but in cage they started messing with it again, any advice asap please!!

Also if it’s important I heavily believe it was a feather or two growing in because I have gotten them recently, the place I got them from clips their wings and I had no idea until afterwards when I got home.
