  1. Cockatiel Breeding
    Hi guys, I woke up this morning to chirps. I was shocked to see a baby cockatiel! Although I'm happy, I'm also worried because the baby keeps getting out from underneath its parents. Once the baby is a bit far, the parents won't try to pull it back in. It also doesn't seem like they're feeding...

    I rescued a baby cockatiel 4 days old from its nest as his parents have kicked it out and I've been feeding him yellow color food and he poops like mustard yellow and now I'm concerned because as I googled, it told me that the yellow poop could mean liver faliure and stuff. It's my first time...

She is under vet supervision and is already feeling so much better. my issue is she won’t really eat out of her bowl. (Using both/either clear plastic and stainless steel). She will drink from her stainless water...

    As a preface my two cockatiels are 5-weeks old, and I feed them approx. every 3-4 hrs. I began the weaning process yesterday. I put bits of wholegrain toast in their cage, and after we soaked it overnight (aka this morning) we introduced millet. We switched to spoon feeding instead of the...

    Hello Everyone! I need your help / thoughts / advice as soon as possible. We live in London and we had 2 grown up cockatiels and 3 chicks (5/7/8 days each) up until yesterday. Our mail cockatiel was the one who spent loads of time with chicks - feeding them and sitting with them all the time...

    My two cockatiels (I think they're born 1-2 days apart, according to the breeder I bought them from) are now 4 weeks old, and they have feathered wings + tails, but there are still pin feathers on their backs, wings, and head. I feed them every 5 hours. I move them to a cage at sunrise and back...

    Does the food I buy for my Tiel need to be food that was designed for a Tiel or can I feed him any parrot based food (as he is essentially a small parrot)? Is this the same for hanging treat sticks that you put in his cage? I am asking because I want to keep variety in his diet and his basic...

    Hello! So, we've had our 15 week old :grey tiel: for three days now. He didn't eat for the first 2 days. He is eating now. Quite a bit. He is on a seed/pellet mixture recommended by the breeder. I try to supplement with veggies, but he hasn't shown a ton of interest yet. He nibbled some...

    Note: I do not have cockatiels yet so this has in no way happened. I plan on getting cockatiels soon. I know its not normal breeding season for them. But once I do get cockatiels, they are of breeding age, I assure they are male and female, they bond, etc. I would like to try breeding. I...

    Yep I need help again :( Oldest baby is almost 6 weeks old, youngest is almost 5 weeks old. Their cage situation is this: there are 2 cages attached to each other so they can come and go and the parents can feed them. In my current and temporary living situation I cannot turn them loose in this...

    Just a moment ago, my 2 little babies which I am currently hand rearing were regurgitating to each other! :eek: WHAT'S GOING ON!?I dont think any food came out though, but what caused this? And should I stop them if they do it again!? one baby is older than the other if that helps.

    Hi. My 2 baby cockatiels have grown up so fast. They are about 4 weeks old. They have begun to flap their wings and pick at their nest. But I'm not sure when/how fledging or weaning begins for them. They are parent fed. One of the babies have begun to step out of the nest and start to stand on...

    I recently got a little bag of mixed freeze dried insects for my mouse and was wondering if I could give my tiel some too. It contains locusts, mealworms + some shimps(not insects but still there's not many anyway) - they aren't coated in any nutritional stuff, just plain. Would they be good to...
