we have a cockatiel pair. Pied female and Lutino Male. the are free in the house and not caged. They have laid the eggs for the first time. but now we don’t want them to lay eggs any further. how can we avoid that.
We have a relatively young, new cockatiel and after asking my parents to babysit overnight (put the bird in a new home for the day) I noticed that the bird has been screeching a lot more. The noise is very similar to a flocking call in sound, but it’s far louder and far more frequent […]
Thank you for your very forthright answers to my last questions. Good to have clarity at the planning stage rather than once the babies are in the house. Trying to understand what non metals are budgie safe for toys. 1. Could a budgie bite through a 2mm solid nylon thread? It is a single solid […]

Well, it’s been 6 days since my female budgie laid her last egg. And yesterday the male bird flew away. So still my female budgie’s poop is large like before her pregnancy. Why is her poop large and is it going to affect her health?
Einer unserer Wellensichte (knapp 2 Jahre alt) ist versehentlich aus dem Käfig und dann auf den Boden, als unser Hund im Zimmer war. Der hat mit ihm speilen wollen und dabei ordentlich “gepackt”. Dabei hat der Vogel einige Federn verloren. Flügel nun recht kurz und Schwanzfedern quasi ganz weg. Bin total traurig und mache mir […]
well, it’s been 5 days since my budgie laid 3 eggs. Today when I woke up I saw the male budgie was missing because the cage door was open and I remembered that the door was closed last night. Then I searched the whole room but couldn’t find it. Also, the window was a bit […]
Can you use a gas fireplace in the same room the budgies are in. Is it safe to only have the pilot light lit on the gas fireplace at all times in the winter.

After a couple of months, getting along beautifully, the female dies seemingly of a broken neck, no other marks on her.

What are safe glues to use to make budgie toys? Or is there a home made adhesive recipe you are aware of?
