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 […]

I’ve noticed recently that Zoo Med has come out with a water dechlorinator for parrots, called “Aviansafe”. Is it safe to use? I’ve been using the “Reptisafe” version for my reptiles for a while now, but I can’t find any information on the “Aviansafe”. Thank you!

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?
Do you take male out when female lays egg. The male is taking eggs out of nest and broke one ? He is very nasty now and even is biting out which he has never done. We just bought them 4 months ago they are adults . That is pretty much all the information we […]
Three days ago I noticed what appeared to be a growth and abscess on our budgies bottom (just above his vent).

4 5 months ago I got 2 budgies (male & female)as a gift from someone. Then they mated and layer eggs but they didn’t hatched. The female bird laid eggs again in August but those eggs also didn’t hatched. I kept everything clean so that the eggs won’t get dirty. Then one of the pet […]
Ran out of millets so I gave my birds oats for few days. I start to notice that they are all puffing their feathers and looking tired. They also rush to the food bowels when refilling. What is this? Are they starving? They do look hungry despite the large amount of oats. I heard birds […]

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 cockatiels have been mating for a while and I’m expecting eggs but the last couple of days they have been staying in the nest and I was wondering if it’s possible time for the eggs? Side note : I have checked there are no eggs
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 have only ever had experience with male parrots, but few months ago I bought a 2 month old female cockatiel for my male cockatiel. My male cockatiel would try to interact with her sexually but because she is too young, she doesn’t return the same energy leaving him sexually frustrated. However, my female cockatiel […]
