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?

I am giving Kiwi and Tweety away tomorrow. :( I really don't want to, but I feel that they are not getting enough attachion. They only get to spend 1 hour with me each day, for the rest they have to play with toys and etc. Heres a little info on Kiwi and Tweety and their parents - I rescued...

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...

My cockatiel loves paper for some reason and i dont know why. he talks and whistles to it and he gets real aggressive if i take it away. anyone know why? ___________________ -sammybird :yellow1:

My sun conure shares a cage with a cockatiel. The cockatiel is 3-4+ years older than the conure. The cockatiel is the family bird. The conure I got for my bday making it my bird. My parents promised me a cage for her but due to lack of space and my parents don't want it in my basement we were...

Hi folks, I'm from Ireland, I have a 6 month old white-faced lutino cockatiel called Loki and she's enjoying training me immensely! First time pet owner - always wanted one, never in the position to have one until recently - so completly noob, am sure that I will be pestering you with questions...

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. I don't need a true travel cage that it could live in for awhile, just a little carrier if I need to take it in the car...

Im leaning towards a Green Cheek Conure as my first bird but I still have a few other choices. (sorry if i post too many "WHICH BIRD DO I GET??" kinda posts. I dont know how you guys are supposed to know which I should get XD) But still, I just wanna know your experience on these birds. Im home...

Hi! im new here (cant remember if i made an account already before) I have no birds so I dont really know if im supposed to be on a "bird owners forum" am I allowed? XD Im Happycat (real name is kate) One day I want to get a Green cheek conure or a Cockatiel so im researching them. I have 2 cats...

Hey there, have been looking for parrot forum for a while now. I've recently finished school and found myself with alot more time on my hands. Because of my love for birds, but lack of experience with them... I bought a locally bred pearled cockatiel (just over 3 months old now.) He was very...

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...

$500 REWARD!:grey: Fred is a grey and white cockatiel with a yellow and white head. He has an orange circle on each cheek. He is dearly missed and any information would be greatly appreciated :( apbeeb@gmail.com

Hey, wanted to wait until I got my bird to post my introduction, and now that I'm finally the proud owner of a tiel, I'd say it's about time to write one up. First off, about me: I'm a 16 year old girl who bums off my parents ( just kidding, I live 45 minutes out of the city, and they haven't...

Iago is a cockatiel that's about 5 years old and my oldest bird.

I have been having many problems with hawk attacks. This same hawk keeps attacking my cockatiel cage. It is 1/2 inch wire, so not worried about him getting in, but don't want my birds to have a hart attack. He has been sitting in the same tree in my yard every day for a few days, and every half...

Hello, I am posting this ad for a friend who is relocating and is unable to take her birds with her. She has 4 Cockatiels and this is what I know about them: A male and a Female she refers to as "the breeding pair" (But if adopted, please dont let them breed) They cant be separated, but need to...

Hi everyone :) I have a very odd problem... a few years ago, i added a ringneck breeding pair to my aivary (where i already had an old pair of cockatiels). Needless to say, this did not end well... the female ringneck ate my female cockatiel :(. After this happened, i moved all my cockatiels (a...

This is my first thread here,I just registerd cause I need some advise that couldn't find at anyone else's post. So here I go...:) I have a Cockatiel for about 5 months, not having a great relationship with each other, not that she (I think its a female) is scared of me. I just think she...

Hi everyone! I am having some issues with my two little boys, and I need help fast! My boys are both cockatiels, and everybody here probably knows that they generate a lot of dust. I read up before purchasing them, and I already knew that they were going to be messy, and excessively dusty...

My name is Tom and I live in Newark, DE. I love birds and had 2 parakeets when I was growing up: Polly:greenyellow: and Greeneroo :greenyellow: (guess what color he was). When I was older I had 2 cockatiels: the first one was a male named Arturo :yellow1:, who I had for 9 1/2 years. Artirp...
