Why does my male cockatiel attack my female cockatiel and sing her a song the next minute? I got a female cockatiel for my male cockatiel few months ago and the female cockatiel is few months old and she’s nervous around the male. The male gets shy and avoids her but sometimes he asks her […]
Recently I found out mirrors are bad for birds because they get to attached to themselves. My cockatiel has that exact problem. Over the years he has had mirrors in his cage. Every time we tried to breed him with another bird he is aggressive towards them. Right now I took his mirrors away and […]
Hello. I have 2 Sun conures and, yesterday, one of them laid an egg .Ever since before the first egg was laid, she was acting a little different than usual. Now she is biting on the little house we have for when they sleep, and is wailing her wings and making noises. What should I […]
Hi I have a question, I have a kakarikki, a boy, his name is hawke. Hawke is a very tame bird and likes me and his family. He never had a mirror in his cage but I had one in the room I keep him in. He recently discovered the mirror and got absolutely obsessed […]
I recently acquired to two mature female parakeets. It’s been two weeks they’re still nervous and scared when I sit near their cage, they also don’t move from this one perch in their cage, they do not interact with toys at all. They do eat and drink water though.
May I put a friend with my male cockatiel because I can’t put them with this Mum and Dad because they fight all the time
Hi Brenda, Thank you for quickly answering my question about my bird not wanting to hatch her eggs. I did remove the box and the egg as suggested. Currently the male who mated does get a little protective and ocassionally attacks the single male bird. But the single male bird is not attracted to the […]
What is safe / unsafe to give a parakeet in terms of toys that it can chew or shred, etc. to keep it from getting bored. My parakeet eats any paper it can get a hold of. Is this safe?
Hi I have recently purchased an Alexandrine and told he was 16years old, when I picked him up she said he had a few issues 1- he doesn’t like men 2-he doesn’t like hands 3-he makes a noise when he’s stressed. On arriving home and having him for a week now not only does he […]
Hi, Quick Update – My Alexandrine has had his foot fully recovered and is doing pretty good now. And I’m confused if he is a male or not. He does those eye pins along with wing spreads like the male parrots on the internet do. I’ve had him for more than a year now and […]
My cockatiel ( 2 years and 3 months) sticks his touch out and moves it while going to the vet. I think it’s because of the heat but even if we turn the on the car ac he continues to do it. He doesn’t go out very much.
Ever since I got my bird ( he was 9 months old) he bites a lot and doesn’t want anything to do with me. He is now 2 years and 3 months old. I would like to for him and I to have a better bond.
Both of my green cheek conures are under a year old.. they’re about 9 months old, 2 weeks apart. We’ve only had them a month now. We introduced them and everything was good until they started displaying breeding habits. They have separate cages (for now) since we wanted to be sure that they would get […]
I just purchased a parakeet a week and a half ago. I tried to go for a boy (his beak has a blue stripe over it) but I’m wondering if this might be a girl. The cage I purchased had really nice, large food and water dishes. Pretty soon, my parakeet climbed right in the […]
