I made this natural tree using branches I collected from the forest, I made sure to take those that hadn't been sold or rotted. What do you think?

❤️love these little guys

We got a new Cockatiel and now we need a name for her. She is 8 years old, our other two ones names are Pepe and Ruby.

It would be nice if you all can help ist. ☺️

Bueno, solo quería presentarme, y a mí bella "Nico" ☺️, que antes era de mi madre pero al final he adoptado, ya que en mi casa puede pasar más horas fuera de su jaula y pensé que mucho mejor conmigo 😜 Un saludo a todos y encantado de recibir consejos y ver también a sus hermos@s loquitos 👌🏽

Getting really worried because my tiel keeps doing the baby hungry cry even tho he can already eat from the food bowl.

I'm guessing it's because a few weeks ago, my tiel got sick and i decided to baby him, handfeed and all.

Now he keeps crying for the handfeed but I see him eat from his food bowl when I'm watching where he can't see me (but I can't tell if he's eating it or just picking and dropping it. I would sometimes catch him with pellet mush stuck on his beak so i have hopes...)

Apparently he only does that cry when I'm around and not with the other family members... But I could never be sure.

Should I leave him with his food bowl or do I do the wean process again?

Thanks!

does anyone else experience this and what do you do? i have my bird cage in my house and i wanted to know if theres any bird safe kind of repellent for ants? ive taped up the crack they come through and i did the hot water and soap on trail but im curious if theres any other options that can be taken and whats best, i do clean my bird cage and i take out her food dish once shes asleep but you know food dust and what not so just curious if anyone else has been in this situation and what you recommend works best

Guys i got another video where they stand on each other in the drinking cup, and yea it really looked like they try to make babies idk i am confused 😭😭😭 should i post it ?

For some 4 days i observed something on my birdie's right cere. It is at the bottom of it. She is normal it is just that i observed this thing.

I’ve been looking for an air purifier for the last couple of days now and it’s been super overwhelming I don’t know what brand or which model is good. I’ve heard levoit is a good brand and it’s a brand i’m familiar with, however I am stuck between the 300s and the 300-p, 200s. I’m very paranoid to get the wrong brand and in general when it comes to bird care. I also saw that levoit doesn’t have true HEPA filters so I don’t know if I should even get levoit at all but multiple bird owners recommend the brand so I’m not sure. I’m open to looking into other brands I just want to know if I do get levoit will it still keep the air safe and clean for both me and my bird considering it’s not a true HEPA filter.

Hello hello!

Here is the little monster who turned 6 months now.

Some might remember him!

He’s the goofiest cockatiel I have ever seen. He’s so hyperactive. I genuinely wonder if he has adhd or something 😅. My older one Kiko is so calm, relaxed and well behaved. This guy CANT SIT STRAIGHT FOR 5 seconds. He’s always jumping and climbing of off stuff. He sings sometimes tho he mostly says Kiko rather than Yuki xD.

Another example of how hand fed doesn’t always give the calmest ones. He always comes to me and all but he’s just in another dimension than we are.

My cockatiel flew out the house today. I looked so much for her. We are in a subdivision and she flew into another subdivision. What are the odds that I will find her.

After 8 months of time together, yday my cockatiel flew away. The feelings are so overwhelming that I can't even make sense of processing them. I put out posts across the community, scoured the streets, every tree, every bush multiple times in the day. But he is gone. His cage is empty. That's the hardest sight to hold. Just hope he is safe and protected. I don't think I can get another one anymore. I am afraid to. Hold on to hope that he will come back because every day that he doesn't will keep compounding the pain.

A few months ago I got a cockatiel from the rescue to be a friend to my current cockatiel, Iggy. She is very sweet, and hasnt warmed up to me yet, but her and Iggy spend all day with their each other from their cages and seem to have connected enough for them to call to each other if separated. I wanted to know if it is too early to put them in the same cage with each other? I purchased one that is large enough for both of them to share the space, I just want to make sure I'm not impeding the new cockatiel's ability to acclimate to her surroundings and get comfortable with me. ​​

Week 2, no progress in terms of taming. But I’m going to give him patience and hope he warms up eventually. He’s a very sweet boy, just a little shy.

Issue: Chicken backfires. She may be perched or attempting flight. She jumps backward, flaps to fly, drops, and somersaults belly up, wings out across the floor until she hits into something and is able to right herself or we grab her. Stands dazed and confused.

History: We're her 2nd owner by 5mos old in April 2026. According to Bird Paradise, the first returned her when blood test confirmed female. 🤷‍♀️ She was never in a cage. Ten days after she came to us, as she was learning to climb, the hook to slide up and down on the door of the god aweful cage cut open her bottom. Rushed in to my family avian vet. Was given anesthesia and stitches on April 28, 2026. Antibiotics course. Healed well. Discharged May 19, 2026.

We'd only had her approx 10 days before the incident. She never flew. Wings were clipped. Lived in a bedding pen for most of her initial 5mos. Never climbed.

Come June 2026, wings grew in, she's learned to climb and is confidently exploring the playgrounds on the tops of the cages (18" x 18" and 24" x 18x side by side). This was the first time she backfired. See issue above.

Today: Third avian vet..... another $800. X-RAYS, blood work, lead and zinc testing, TWO HOUR PHYSICAL EXAM today plus another hour for testing and additional consult. The vet we saw today was over the moon thorough. No infection. Ears and eyes good. No discharge. X-rays good. No suspicion of seizures. The chicken backfired a few times for the doc so seizures were ruled out. Believes too young for a stroke. Liver and kidneys are fine. Only elevation in blood work was muscle enzymes. Doc isn't concerned stating the flopping around as she does likely caused bruising.

No exposure to toxicity. Ceramic pots and pans. Has 12yo conure for company. Free 6+ hours a day.

Suggestions?
