Hello, i have very recently acquired a new Tiel from a previous owner. They told me he is about 4 years old. We'll just call him Bird. lol. Anyways. I need help. He is very aggressive even though I know the owners didn't raise him that way. As far as training, he knows "step up" (he only...

Hi. So my cockatiel has been chirping/squawking constantly in regular intervals for the past 3 or so days. I don't understand why. She doesn't seem injured. She's acting normal otherwise. She's eating normally, pooping fine, flies around, she sits with us, fluffs up, grinds her beak, preens...

So I got a baby cocktail, I’m a first time bird owner and she’s been with us a little over a month. I want to believe she’s female but may be male with how talkative she is. But anyway, at first she hated us, wouldn’t let us near her and as soon as we made any progress she regressed. i had her...

Two days ago my cockatiel had a crash landing while trying to fly back to his cage. That afternoon and night he seemed completely normal (stretching, perching, eating). The next afternoon I noticed he was a bit lethargic (still perching) but was squinty. This morning he seems the same and I have...

Hi ya, I kinda need some help. You see my one-year-old pearl Stitch is extremely attached to me, to the point if I leave the room he would yell for me to come back. Even if it's for two seconds. And when I do come back, he would fly right onto my shoulder refusing to leave. But, there's one...

Hi! A few days ago I got a new cockatiel, and it's my first time owning one. I have read that the first few days I just have to leave him be, but the cage it's on my bedroom and sometimes he just starts pacing from side to side in the little perch inside the cage, sometimes even screaming or...

I’ve had these 2 male cockatiels for about 7 months now and they are very very attached to each other. The lady I purchased them from had them both for a few years, their names are Peache and Charlie. Peache was a pied-ish cockatiel with a small bald spot on his head she got from a petstore and...

My baby Hermes is a male, so of course, alike most males, he will chit chat and chatter about all day. However, I've been informed by my parents that while I am away at school, he will SCREECH and SCREAM and otherwise just loudly chirp. This is a problem, seeing as how my mother babysits for a...

So I recently got my cockatiel Kiki about 3 weeks ago now. She is about 13 weeks old. She is adorable and really loves hanging out with people more than anything! I have always had a problem putting her back in the cage since day 1, she used to just crawl up peoples arms, the opposite way from...

Hey Everyone, Lulu is about 11months old, and I got her when she was about 2 months old. But since I was going away for 10 weeks, I left her in the custody of my parents, and bought her so so many new toys to keep her from getting bored without me. One of which was a cute little mirror, with a...

My cockatiel Ziggy, will start this very annoying low screech noise what seems like FOREVER when anyone takes him out of his cage.. We try giving him food, water, treats, shiny things, whatever we can find to keep him interested. He won't stop for a long time. He is 5 months old. I wish I knew...

Hi there, I bought a harness for my cockatiel a while ago and I have not been able to get it on him. Whenever I bring the harness out he just chews the clips (their silver and black). Does anyone have some ideas for helping me teach him to use it. I really want him to go outside for a fly but...
