I’ve kept a pair of adopted cockatiels more than 1 year ago. Worry about they may get bored within the cage, I let them out the cage with the windows nearly closed and mosquito net installed beforehand, before going out. As they are used to be together before being adopted, they are kept in the […]

I have just brought a 10-12 week old cockatiel and am just wondering how to approach the entire thing, he was hand reered but is not super comfortable with human interaction, Im guessing it’s just because he has just moved to a new place and is uncomfortable, another complexity is that I alternate between two […]

(do czepialskich:nimfa niedługo dostanie towarzysza 🙂 ) Witam. Moja 4 letnia nimfa, która byłam przekonana że to samiec, zniosła jajo. Jajo w jakiegoś drążka zniosła z góry na raszki. Jajo jest zbite, lecz trochę się poddenerwowałam. W klatce mialam jakiś czas budkę, lecz bardzo dawno ja wyciągnęłam. Trochę się zmartwiłam. Ktoś miał podobna sytuację? Nie […]

What food do you use for a one-day-old cockatiel? Because I suffer from weak growth.
She had fluid build up and was drained by the vet and she also admitted her for 2 nights. She was very energetic and her breathing was fine when she came home. She died 9 days after draining the fluid. She was still on antibiotics. What could have caused that?
Been more than a year now. My cockatiel always want to see himself. Whether on mirror, window, a refelction on tv, on household stuff. If he’s nowhere near one, he keeps squeeking looking for it. We got him a female cockatiel but a different breed. (he’s a pearl one and she’s a yellow one). Been […]

Hi! I have a male cockatiel, he’s a little over two years old, and a couple of months ago he stopped singing or making any chirping sound whatsoever. I’ve been told it can be because he’s changing feathers, but I’m worried and wanted to get a second opinion. He’s still as sweet and loving as […]

Hi. So I have a 4-5 month old who had been fed by his own parent which are also living with us. Despite eating well (even a little more than his siblings) he still goes to his parents and make that creepy voice of being hungry all the time. He is also thinner than his […]

I just bought two cockatiels and 3 eggs, the previous owner stated that eggs are still viable however I am not so sure. Obviously transporting them is stressful in itself especially with eggs. I did buy his whole set up in an attempt to limit the stress as much as possible. When I arrived they […]
