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.
What do you do when a single parakeet lays an egg?

Could a problem occur if a male “rubs” himself a lot…on anything? Would a supplement to calm that urge help?
my Red Belly has feather loss on his underside beneath his wings and also his legs near his feet…could that be hormonal?
how do we know when extra calcium is needed if a bird is acting hormonal? my grey is 19 years old and this is the first time she has started doing this.
Is there a supply chain problem with lupron right now? Is there any solution in sight and, if not, are there alternatives?
I have a female U2 that intentionally prolapses. Deslorelin implants do not seem to work. Do you have any other suggestions? I have talked with her veterinarian about asymmetrical cloacoplasty.
Is there any connection between hormones and yeast infections? My male bird has had 3 infections in the last 3 years only during hormone season.

I’m a first time bird owner. Just brought my rare parakeet home today. She was much smaller than the others at the store. My cat messed with her through the bird cage when I wasn’t home earlier today. She looked intact. Unfortunately, her two beautiful long yellow tail feathers were affected. They are still attached […]

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?

I have taken my lovebird to 4 highly qualified Avian vets, they have run every test possible on her, crop swabs, fecal gram stains, x-rays, countless blood exams, cloaca swabs.

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.
i just bought 2 kid parrots nearly a weak old, but i wanted to ask you that parrots from same breed mate ? if do any way to prevent it.
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 […]

Hey Lafeber, I have a Indian Ringneck who is about 1 year old I believe and I’ve owned for a few months now. When I first got her I left her to be alone for a few weeks to settle into the house and get used to everything, then I started to slowly start the […]

Hi there! I’m quite new to owning birds but I’ve done a lot of research and made sure they didnt need anything. I have a two year-old female and a about one year-old male. The male is a new addition as I didn’t want to get chicks, but after seeing signs of loneliness with my […]
