Hi everyone! I have a pair of bonded budgies for 4 years and they are around 4.5 years old. The male is slightly younger and they’ve been in the same large cage (1 meter x 1.3 meter x 1.5 meter professional parrot cage with sufficient amount of toys, food, water, squid bone, and millet treats […]
I have a 29 y/o African Grey. I got him when he was about 6 months old – so we’ve been together a LONG time. He has always regurgitated a bit on a favorite toy and I would remove the toy so as not to _encourage_ regurgitation. I am not sure why they do this. […]
Can you introduce a 1 1/2 male to another male , same spices? And if so how do I go about it?
My canary keeps wiping his beak on wooden perch. He has done this since we got him two months ago. Otherwise appears to be ok. Should I be concerned? Thank you
My two budgies (around 5-6 months yrs old) though regurgitating to each other and following one another sometimes, seem to hate each other. They would make this kind of warbling noise then come at one another. Also, if one of my budgies is eating (for example), and the other comes, the one eating immediately leaves. […]
My cockatiel is eight years old. She has been on her own for most of this time. I recently put my canary in with her. I know parrots and canaries generally do not get along and the cockatiel would normally attack the canary but my cockatiel was born with deformed feet and a crooked wing […]
My male cockatiels mate died and he is pacing the cage. What should I do?
Hi, I have 2 male cockatiels both in seperate cages beside each other. So far everything has been well and have moved onto letting them out together. The second male cockatiel sometimes goes into the others cage to sleep and explore around it and sometimes my first cockatiel joins him but recently I’ve noticed that […]
I have a hand fed1 and a half year old male green cheek Conure, he recently (about three weeks ago) flew away, we were lucky enough to retrieve him safely but now it appears to have lost interest in his cage and toys, we started bringing him downstairs more and he starts to fly away […]
I have a 2 year old female cockatiel we bought from a breeder. She is tame and spends most of her daytime out of her cage. She also flies very well and will be clipped next week. She had her last clutch 3 weeks ago. I take them away after about 4-5 days. ( tho […]
I have a female cockatiel that seems perfectly healthy, but she randomly started chirping a little squeak while yawning. She was doing it again and again and again. I paniced and i picked her up even if i knew she dosent like that and i tryed looking in her mound if she has a little […]

I got Luna, my single female lovebird, when she was about 4 months old. She has been living with me for about 18 months. She was terribly shy at first, but with time and patience she has learned to trust me enough that she’ll step up on my finger, fly around the house and land […]
I have a 8 month old female cockatiel that doesn’t let me do anything go anywhere without her screaming for me what can I do
My bird keeps flying over me like he wants to land on me but then just keeps flying. Maybe he’s not comfortable enough with me yet or he’s just unsure. What can i do to make him feel like he can land on me.
I have a 26 year old umbrella cockatoo that laid her first egg today. When she was little we had her sex’d to see and the vet told us she was a hermorfidite (both sex’s). Would her egg even be fertile??? And why would she lay an egg now after all these years???
Ive had a female cockatiel for a long time and I finally decided to give her a companion. Since I dont have very much space, I cant risk getting a male and having little ones. So, is it safe for 2 females to be together? She has been alone for the past 15 years and […]
My female has always been real sweet. I put a nesting box in her cage and now she is biting me really bad. Is this appropriate or should I be Worried

I have 2 cockatiels, im not really sure that the grey one is a female, beacuse it dosent have a white face, but is not fully grey. So, Karma, the grey one, makes a ,,chirp” sound, but is more like a ,,cip”.Not the normal loud ,,cip” they make, but one not loud. I saw when […]

He plucks mainly on his back, untill it’s totally bold. Then he stops and the feathers gewoon back. What is most weird is that he does this […]

I have had these birds for 1 year now and they usually get along well. For the past week my male bird has been aggressive towards my female bird. He doesn’t even let her eat or drink water, so I have to feed her separately. I don’t understand why. Can you please help?
I have to male cockatiels in the same cage for a while and when I wanted to feed them, one of my male cockatiels was humping my other male cockatiel. I don’t know if it’s normal or what should I do. I will get them in two different cages. Do u think this will help? […]
My 6 month old conure and 3 yr old conure have finally begun to preen each other . The young one began bobbing his head today when they were preening. He also got very hyper and actually laid on his back . What’s going on ? Is he playing by laying on his back when […]
I have 4 lovebirds – 2 male and 2 female. About a year ago I got the 2 females as babies and was told they were a male and a female. A few months ago I found they had laid 11 eggs. This was the first indication that they were not a male and female […]
Hi, I have a flock of five birds. This question is regarding two of them. A few months ago, we had two male cockatiels and one male linnie. Then we adopted another female cockatiel, Bo, and a suspected female linnie, Kiwi. We were told these birds were bonded and shared the same cage. After the […]
Hi I read your response to the hormonal behaviors it helped me a lot. I have a 3 year old male and a year old apparently female. We thought they were both male until we saw them mating. The female fights the mating and then ends up giving in and mates. At the moment they […]
My white belly caique is not going in the nest box they’re a bonded pair with doing all the action that a pair does like grooming and feeding wad other.
My question has a bit of a long backstory so bare with me! I got my cockatiel at 45 days old. Started to hand feed him (even though the breeder said he is half weaned). He is 3 month old now but still begs for formula. If he doesnt get his formula it is as […]
I only have a 8 months old female love bird shes kinda lonely so i was thinking to get her a friend If i bring a new male 5 months old love bird will they bond i dont care about breeding i just want them to be with each other and happy
I just read an online lovebird forum post that discussed the danger of fleece huts and toys using rope/string. Pet birds can ingest these fibers, which get permanently stuck in the crop, eventually necessitating crop surgery. My lovebird has a hut made from felt. Is felt a dangerous material if he ingests its fibers? Are […]
My cockatiel went from being the only “baby” to sharing our attention with a dog (whom he gives heart wings to all the time) and 3 kids. About two years ago, he escaped out the back slider and into the native wash area behind our house (we’re in Arizona). We got him back, but a […]
I am getting three birds, 2 budgies and 1 lovebird. From what I’ve been told, all three are bonded to each other. The person I’m getting them from hasn’t properly sexed them and doesn’t know the age but roughly 3-4 years each. They are all in a cage that really is a carrier cage and […]
When me and my dad are petting our cockatiel, sometimes it exhibits mating behaviour and makes sounds like this : https://youtu.be/QiUTG-hUA0Q We both do not pet it on the back or wings, we only pet the head and the upper neck. Sometime he even does this when not being petted, just by sitting on us. […]
Hi! I have 6 canaries living in a big cage together. One of my canary’s left wing is droopy. I do not think his wing is broken, because he can move it and even fly a little. His behaviour has not changed much, he is still active and likes to eat, but he clearly does […]
Hi. Ive had my cockatiel for about 4 months now and ive spent so much time with him and even though you can tell he is bonded to me more than my partner,he is still scared and nervous of my hands. He will let me give him millet inside the cage, not outside, he will […]
I have 2 african grey’s that I hand reared in 2004. They started laying eggs last year 2022 and that is when I realised that they are both females. My concern is that in the last 12 -16 months they have laid eggs 5 times with a clutch of 5 eggs on average. There is […]

We have a 30 year old African grey that laid an egg recently. I know that my bf has always been bonded with her but nothing has changed recently with their interactions. To our knowledge she has never laid an egg before. She was a rescue. The only change is that our roommate got a […]
I have a 3 year old male budgie who is regurgitating constantly. He was sick with gram negative bacteria in his crop and feces and was placed on medicine for 4 weeks. He was off the medicine for 2.5 weeks and the bacteria is back. Nothing has changed in his environment so we think the […]

My single female cockatiel has laid her second egg. Her cage is large and is in one space in the laundry. She has limited daylight hours, I have rearranged her cage and removed anything she could see as nesty materials. I can’t move her actual home, as it is too large to move. So, is […]
I purchased my male budgie in January and while healthy, he seemed lonely so I got him a female friend in June. At first, they preened each other constantly, but lately, she chases him from the food and toys and pecks at him. He still seems smitten by her and is constantly doing happy chirps, […]

I had 10 budgies then one past away and now I have nine, my question is do I have to remove the extra one out and how do u tell when the pair off??
My oldest budgie(female) is named Blue and I’ve had her for around 3 years now. When she was a few months she was the perfect bird. I could take her out of the cage, I could actually touch the cage and mess inside of the cage. She was alone for about a year when I […]
