Hi, I have a female Cockatiel, about 8-9 months old. Around New Year’s, she laid 4 unfertilized eggs and since then she seems to be flying hard. I have the impression that it flies slightly tilted to one side. Is it a result of the eggs or should I take her to the vet? TY!

My bird suddenly started walking in circles, making a little chirp sound and has his mouth open. I had taken him to the back office where the guys were in earlier, drinking, smoking and whatever else. How sensitive are these birds to lingering fumes in the air? Although it was hours earlier.
She will only eats nutriberries , avicakes and seeds. I have tried fruits and veggies, she is so picky she picks out the fruit or veggies from the nutriberries and eats the other parts. What can I do to get her to try veggies and fruits? She will not eat human foods
