Hello, this little one lost its mother, so I took on the responsibility of hand-feeding it. Does its full crop mean it is satisfied? It is still making noises, but the crop looks full and feels soft. Am I doing a good job?

My older 8 month old male. Gets aggressive when singing. Chasing the other bird. Which is a younger male. Also goes after me and other in the house. If he's not singing he's fine.

My cockatiel was recently found to have metabolic bone disease and multiple fractures in his feet. He's currently on supplements and pain killers but I was wondering if anyone else has experience with Bone disease in their cockatiel/what to do from now on?

Right now it's looking like I'll be keeping him in a separate smaller cage overnight so he isn't at risk of bad night frights (two other cockatiels live with him in a big cage) and I'll probably put vitamin supplements in the water from now on to help with VitD levels... He's on a seed+pellet diet with some vegetables and egg occasionally

Any ideas or help/advice would be appreciated. I want him to have as much of a pain free life as possible 😭

Basically the title, is very hot here in brazil rn, i think this is why she does this but just to make sure, the only place were she take her feathers off is below the wings, and she is like this just now that is hot AF

My family has 2 budgies, both pretty young, around the 8 month range. The vet suggested they get their wings clipped because they are hard to tame and it would make it easier. Now my family wants to get the birds wings clipped. I really dont think its a good idea and need a bit of advice/opinions on the situation

Hi.

I have a 4-year-old male cockatiel. We have always been very close; he's always begging for attention and loves to snuggle in my face. However, my life has changed, and I can't give him as much attention anymore because I'm always working.

This morning, I woke up, talked to him a bit, and he seemed lovely as always. Then I went to the pet store to buy another cockatiel. I bought another male because I don't want to deal with mating or eggs.

When I brought the new bird home, my old cockatiel seemed really happy and was singing a lot. However, I noticed that every time I came close to his cage, he tried to bite me. After a few hours, I took him out of his cage to play, and he started flying at my face and biting me. My finger is bleeding, and he even plucked some hairs from my head. This little punk, motherfucker. I'm really scared. What should I do?

Just to add some information, the old bird and the new bird are in separate cages.

Hi! I have two cockatiels I got from someone on kijiji who was moving. He had them in a dark basement for about a year and clearly did not spend lots of time with them. I found out they’re both girls (not a boy and a girl as I was told). Named them Missy and Miss Ter.

I’ve had them for about a year now. One of them is quite social (will walk around on the floor with the dogs) and seems to be the louder one too. The other is more fearful but still engages with us.

Wanted to ask for advice on how to socialize them better? They don’t love or seek to be held and they are reluctant to try new foods like fruit.

Any general tips are appreciated!!

i have 2 girls and ofc every time try to play with them and dance with them and they’re just like 👁️V👁️👁️V👁️ this is not a scritch nor a snuggle what is this lady doing
