My cockatiel won’t fly any more

I have a cocktail for year and a half. He was always flying around exploring new things, until a month ago. His feathers on the tail started falling down and he suddenly stopped fly. If he does so he then falls on the ground and starts to walk.

Hi,

A major change like this can indicate a health issue. The best thing to do is take him to an Avian Vet for a check up.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
