question

Hi everyone, It has been 6-7 years since the last time I had a budgie or any other pet.After that long break I decided to have a cockatiel to get a brand new experience after having budgies because I have read so many positive articles about their personality being so friendly and kind of...

Hello everyone, I've been a member for about a month & and owner since Feb. 11th so I guess it's time to make my introduction! My bird love affair started when my gram acquired an adolescent budgie in June 2015 which I have since received as well as expanding my little flock, but by the...

Hey guys, Ludwing sometimes bursts into this chirping pattern (very similar every time), Currently he still hates me (he screams when I get too close to him), so I doubt he wants my attention. Apart from screaming at me and emergency vehicle sirens, this is the only sound Ludwing ever makes...

Maya's been with me 4 weeks now (she's about 14 weeks old), and she's getting along great! There's one thing she does, however, that I don't understand. Sometimes when I take her out in the morning, she spreads her wings (sometimes flapping), and makes short hissy noises while nibbling my...

Advice please: I own/owned 2 hand-tamed cockatiels for 11 years now so am familiar with cockatiels' behavior. My current 3yearold male cockatiel - in the last 3 weeks or so? I've noticed his droppings have been greenish-watery with a green solid line for the poop part. He's always had the normal...
