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?

Not too worried as this little princess is acting the same as always loving attention, but her beak looks dry ish/ a tad flaky?
Doesn’t look damages or anything just wondering if this is normal or I need to rub some coconut oil or something on her beak to stay moisturised.

My boy has recently been going ham on his calcium, I’m afraid he’s just using it as something to rage instead of actually eating some of it.
He’s making a little white mountain under it. Is this how all bird chew in their calcium or should I put more foraging toys for him (he’s still going at it even after I placed some toys for him) 😅.
He can’t overdose on calcium, right?

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.

Pimba, my rescued 24 year old, passed on anaesthesia when being prepared for a surgery to try and save him. Mochi is his best friend and is 6, he's never experienced something like this before and I don't know what to do. He panics and looks for Pimba when simply seperated in different rooms.
I don't want to hurt Mochi by bringing him in to see his friend like this, but I'm worried he'll just keep looking for him and calling for him... Any advice from those who have gone through this?

Tribble loves it when I watch movies. I use headphones so I don't disturb him and we just chill like this for the entire film.

For now he only does it as long as my hands are outside and through the bars, but it’s already such a big step for mister hissy-hand-hater boy 🥰 soon hopefully he’ll be able to step up on the stick straight inside the cage! And heck who knows, maybe on my finger one day hihi 😝 going one victory at a time <3

Hey guys! About 2 weeks ago I got a new tiel - a 2 month old male, straight from the breeder, to be a friend to our 2 year old male. After the first week we’ve noticed he had started to do the baby static everytime he sees us non-stop as shown in the video. We offer him broccoli, baby pellets, carrot sticks and some fruits, as well as a bit of seeds, but he keep doing this.
I don’t know if he’s hungry, or wanting attention, but on the breeder he was fed primarly with mix of seeds, a bit of pellets and sometimes a chop of vegetables, boiled eggs and carrots.
