    Cockatiel Cage Size

    As big as you can get with 1cm bar space, try to get a "brand" like Rainforest or Liberta as the coating is tested as safe for birds, some "cheap" cages are not.

    Feather Loss

    Welcome to the site, it looks very unlikely that she has PBFD as her head is normal so it is self mutilation but I would personally check for that to rule it out. If you go to the vet ask about cost of this test and also contact a company called Avian biotec link below, if the vet is very...

    Illiger Macaw Baby Weight Query

    You have a lovely bird there, please don't try to change the routine the breeder has given you for a couple of months at least then introduce new foods slowly. The change in her droppings on a daily basis are quite normal and some fruits do contain more water. While it is a good thing to trace...

    High Fats Sunflower & Safflower Seed Good Or Bad?

    Feeding is such a big subject and peoples views vary a lot so it's always good to revisit it now and again. We keep a few parrots!! and feed most a similar diet of a seed base which is a lowish sunflower base and fruit and veg, this varies on season and price really. We feed once a day in the...

    I'm Back After A While Out!!

    PLEASE PLEASE get that budgie tested properly (twice with gap) for PBFD and in the mean time keep it well away from the other birds, preferably a different house. PBFD is highly contagious and can be devastating to larger parrots and of all species cockatoos, greys and eclectus are most prone...

    New Bird Health Check Showing Problems

    Try covering the back and sides of the big cage with a sheet and slowly over several days push it further back, placing the cage in a corner helps with nervous birds as they feel more secure

    Perches

    Good advice as always on the perches but have to say that cage is IMO too small for a ringneck and would really be better as a holiday/travel cage

    Keepers’ Health - Bird Fanciers Lung

    Some years ago I had a heart problem and ended up in hospital for some months, they said tests kept showing an unidentified infection not linked to the heart problem but they were struggling to identify, after some discussion they tested for psittacosis and found that I was indeed showing anti...

    How To Make The Top Of The Cage Interesting

    Hi, Now please understand that I am far from a scare monger and think we all maybe go OTT sometimes worrying about our birds safety but if I were you I would get someone with a dremmel to take ever other bar out of that "fan" on the side of your cage, it is in my opinion a real neck break risk...

    Psuk Stafford 7th October 2018

    Not been for years and won't go again probably but did used to enjoy the day to a degree. Without raining on any ones parade I must mention the need for strict quarantine procedure on any birds bought and by that I don't mean a separate cage in the same room for 2 days I mean proper isolation...

    Unaturally Quiet In The Aviary ... Wonder Why Lol

    Have to say have never known a Kestrel to attack the aviary, we have a pair local here and the birds ignore them, the Sparrowhawks are however a totally different thing and can be a right pain, we had one a few years ago that was we think an RSPCA release which sat next to the flights all day...

    Lorikeet Found

    Yes he could have the jellies for now......just be warned don't put him anywhere difficult to clean, they tend to squirt their very wet poo out the sides of the cage and it is a nightmare to get off carpets wallpaper or the like as it is really sticky, lovely birds but dirty buggers!
