    Berkshire Cockatiel Aurora!

    Hi everyone! I'm Anusha, living in Slough Berkshire and a new member here. I've had Aurora for 8 years - and I was told he was a she....it was only until I caught him rubbing his tail over the curtain rail that I got suspicious. His mating calls and dances should have been the tell tale sign...

    Hi everyone - CAG home and temporary cockatiel owner from Kent

    I've had two CAGs in my life for over 30 years, first a wild-caught untamed female who was joined by my friend's boy whose husband became jealous of it. When I lost them within the space of a yer after 30 years I re-homed two males - separately and sex unknown at the time. These boys are...

    Using a fake hand to get birds used to hands?

    So my tiels are lovely, but frightened. I feel like placing a fake hand in the cage would help them overcome their fear of real hands better. What do you all think? I'll go into more detail if needed on why I feel this would be best for my birds.

    Bitey Cockatiel

    I have a new cockatiel that has simply stunned me with the levels of aggression he is displaying toward me. I have never had a male tiel before and had no idea they could behave like this. Pie (the name he came with!) is about 8-9 months old and was aviary reared. He has previously been kept...

    How Do I Train My Cockatiel?

    Hello all, So for a bit of backstory, have a 1 1/2 year old Cockatiel (Cisco) who I've had for around 6 months now. He wasn't hand tame when I bought him from a breeder if you need to know. Basically he wasn't able to be tamed in the first 3 months as the cage was too small so I just sat and...

    Squeaky...

    I only have one parrot and I can't help thinking that another would be wonderful... I promised myself and my friends and family that I'd only keep one bird as I am handicapped and have a hard time dealing with stress (more critters = more stress.) I live alone with a gentle and sweet greyhound...

    Cockatiel Making Annoying Noise - Hormonal? Tantrum?

    My Luna has just started making a very annoying noise the meaning of which I'm having trouble deciphering from as I've not heard it mentioned before. I've uploaded a short video to get at sense of it here: Sorry it's not the best but you can hear the noise which is the important part. I am...

    Tips For A First Vet Visit?

    I'm booked in to take my new baby cockatiel Luna to the vets for the first time tomorrow and just wondered if anyone had some pointers on how to make it go as smoothly as possible. I'm concerned that a vets visit so soon after moving her in might damage our relationship at a critical time. I...
