cockatiel

My Cockatiel is not eating seeds because he is an old bird (29 years old), my avian vet said the seeds are to hard for him to eat. I have tried cracking the seeds but he really doesnt eat them. Today he dropped 2 gm, he is now at 85.5gm ... :-( His avian vet said try cinnamon oatmeal, he didnt...

Good Morning! I currently have four budgies, and am considering buying one or two cockatiels. Right now I'm still in the research & supplies collecting stage, but I just had a question about their noise level. From what I understand, they aren't extremely loud, as compared to some of the larger...

I am a cat owner. I have 2 Devon Rex cats, 1.5 yr and 1 yr. I am thinking about introducing a cockatiel to my clan and want advice... I have seen many vids on youtube where they are playing and companions free in the environment. I want to hear any advice and experiences please. Know this...

My cockatiel Nikola makes this screaming/ singing noise, sometimes he does this while he's just playing with toys or when he's by a window. He's done this before a few times in the past week, so he doesn't do this every day. Cockatiel singing/screaming? - YouTube My sister is the one talking...

My ancient cockatiel wishing I would leave him alone to eat his breakfast.

I really didn't want to have to post a forum about this. I've Googled everything I could to see if I could help this situation, but it still continues. This started 2 days ago. My 7 month old cockatiel (gender is unknown) Niko keeps yelling every 3 seconds (not quite screaming, but he does...

So As most have you known i got a pet cockatiel two days ago... well long story short i had him out and was walking around my house doing stuff and he just decided he wanted to fly (i was putting dishes away and i think it might have spooked him when i bent down and put a pan away) and he flew...

So here is my story. I have always wanted a cockatiel and so forth but never could afford to fully buy one and all the stuff for them... like the cage toys and even the bird can be expensive at the pet store... so instead i settled with owning rats.... well long story short i was trying to find...

I am new to threads and forums, so pardon me! Im not sure if this post is in the right thread.. My cockatiel Niko bit me today because I was trying to put him (or her, gender in unknown) in his cage but he did not want to. :( He's a good bird, but when it is time for him to go in his cage he...

Is it too late to train/ tame cockatiel? Hello, Little disclaimer, sorry this is going to be a bit long, I just want to put out all the details. So I got a cockatiel about 6 months ago. I bought him from a guy who had about 20 cockatiels in a huge cage, but he never took them out or handled...

Dear ParrotForums, I am seeking help and guidance for my current situation with my birds. A long-winded explanation is kind of neccesary to explain the scope of my dilemma, so please bear with me. I currently own two parrots, a quaker parrot and a cockatiel. My father was a long time bird owner...

I've had my cockatiel Tiki for almost a year now. He was given to us full grown so we're not really sure how old he is, though I'm guessing around 3. In the entire year we've had him he has molted once and is currently going through a second molting. We've never clipped his flight feathers yet...

Hello, I'm from Arkansas, full time student and petcare lead at petsmart. I have a Indian Ringneck, Quaker parrot, cockatiel, and a Moluccan Cockatoo.

Sorry this is very long, but I wanted to make sure I included enough info as possible. We've now had our cockatiel around four months and for the most part she's really well behaved. She steps up, is very relaxed and spends most of her day with us. When we first got her she had a bit of an...

Has anyone else experienced this. I was sat with Billy (my cockatiel) on my hand the other day and gently started to blow into his face and body. He got all excited and puffed up like a balloon and was leaning all the way forward with his wings spread, absolutely loving it. The more I gently...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I wanted to start a discussion about cage size in relation to location, schedule and socialization. For many years I kept parakeets and cockatiels. My avatar is a picture of Kocomo, my male 'tiel. I'm living on my own now and would like to adopt a green...

I got my kakariki eating zupreem fruit pellets and cockatiel food. (A mixture of both ) He seems to like the tiel food a bit better but he's not picky. Does anyone know which I should wean him off and which food I should keep?

Her name is Lizzy I've had her for about 6 months now and she's approching 1 year old, her poops are normal and she has no drippy noses or anything like that. I think it might be that she might be a bit cold since we just moved the cage around, but I was wondering what you guys/girls thought...

I am going to get a Mulga, many colored, Australian female parakeet in a couple weeks. Somewhere down the line I would love to own a Cockatiel. I was curious if they would make good cagemates or if i would need to house them seperately? I have a cage that measures 35.25" H x 21" W x 32" D, the...

My cockatiel loves paper and whenever i take it away he gets really aggresive! anyone know why?

On around November 23, My cockatiel of at least 4 years old suddenly died. What she did was she spread her wings and tail feathers, lifted her head and breathed rather heavily. Within seconds she was dead. A time after I got a sun conure that was about 5 months old. Within 24 hours, he died the...

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a little travel cage for a cockatiel sized bird? I know I will need one to take it home/to the vet but I have no idea what people use.

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have long been a parrot enthusiast. In my early youth, I had two little budgies that were kept as family birds, Bluebell and Key-lime, whom I grew to love dearly; I soon had a flock of my very own, and began to work at an avian rescue. I adopted two cockatiels...
