    HI! I bought my cockatiel who is one and a half months old, he eats nutribird 3 times a day (maximum 10 or 15 ml each). She is fond of people, has no problem climbing on my shoulder and asks for a lot of attention. But I can't make her eat alone. She cries a lot for food when the time comes when...

    Bit of unnecessary background. I have a female cockatiel that became extremely broody and chronic egg layer, which also made her pluck herself. I had taken her to multiple vets, but they advise that I just continue giving her ample nutrition to support her egg laying and calcium needs. I fount...

    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...

    Hi sorry if this is a duplicate but I could not find a specific answer, I was just after some help when it comes to weaning. I have 2 cockatiel babies, almost 4 and 3 weeks of age, they're a little small for their age because the parents neglected them a little before I decided to take over, but...

    So, one of my babies has been refusing formula. She's a little over 6 weeks, which I know is young, but is it possible she's weaned/weaning? I know babies will get kinda hard to feed when they start learning to fly, but I think she's past that now. She had been eating just fine, but now she runs...

    Hi, I am trying to wean a 9 week old tiel. He is the messiest eater of all time. He gets it all over his mouth and chest. I try so hard to only get the formula in his mouth but he swallows some and spits some out and is a wild eater. He really fights me to clean his face. I really tried hard...

    Hello Everyone! My two cockatiels (both first time parents) have been raising their four chicks wonderfully! I've been letting the parents feed them and I've been handling them daily; starting for a couple mins when they were very young and becoming longer as they turned two weeks. I've been...

The babies have not begun weaning, but they have begun to walk out of the nest and explore the cage. They have also started to lose weight and begin to flap their wings. But...

    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.
