Hi! From the Philippines. I used to have a pair of finches. A gray and a white. Since the seller of the white finch told us that it was ready to breed, I bought a fertility vit to laid eggs ASAP (its my first time to have a pet bird). After 2 months, it laid […]
This hen has only raised 1 clutch successfully and does not have a bonded mate. However every Spring she lays a clutch of eggs in small spaces of the aviary. Should I put a nest box in or discourage her from laying. There are males in the cage.
I have two male cockatiels and over the course of a few months I have had them in seperate cages. A month later they are in the same cage and are doing fine but recently they have started to fight now and again. They’ve always seemed to be fine in each others presence but now […]
I adopted a very tiny budgie about four months ago. Every time she eats she opens and closes her beam for about 5 minutes and then moves her head from side to side. The head movement will last typically anywhere from an addition five minutes up to a half an hour. Often times she takes […]
My almost 4 yr old male had started attacking me – over couple months time vet administered 3 injections of Luprone – he’s been great, but now suddenly attacking me again – help
I’ve had the same 4 parakeets (all female I think) for 4 years. All of a sudden there is fighting and one egg has been laid. The aggression is scary, but I’m not sure what to do. Do they mount for dominance and why so much aggression with all of them so suddenly?

We recently inherited my late mother-in-law’s cockatiel. He is about 25 years old, at least that’s what we can tell from anecdotal stories and his band seems to agree. He seems rather lonely and we would like to get a companion cockatiel, but what would be best/safest for the current bird? His health appears good […]
Why does my parrot not let me touch him whenever i raise my hand he gets angry and tries to bite me please tell me how to get him to let me touch him
I can’t decide whether to get 1 or 2 male budgies from a breeder. I understand 2 will bond and likely not be tamable. But I also want to give them their best life. I’m not too concerned that 1 budgie would be lonely, but the breeder said it’s only best to have 1 if […]
I recently rescued 2 cockatiel siblings 2 months ago. I have paperwork on her saying she will be 3 in October and was told the male was a sibling but I can’t know for sure. Within a few weeks of them being with me I noticed her pecking at her tail base and squaking in […]

So overtime I noticed that some of my birds like to pluck out each other’s feathers, some being pairs, and I don’t know what causes this behavior. Is there a way to stop it other than separating them and is there any kind of “medicine” that could help them regrow their plumage back?
