Two lovebirds, and since the heating went on they both sneeze a few times a day. Dry little sneezes, nares clean, nothing on the feathers above the beak, both of them eating and shouting normally. The fact that it is…
Found a long tail feather on the cage floor on Tuesday and another one today. She looks noticeably stubby from behind. She has also been grumpier than usual and preening a lot. The cage is secondhand and honestly on the…
Sun conure, four. She has a fabric sleep hut and most nights she lies down in it, and three or four times now I have found her flat on her back in there with her feet in the air. The first time I genuinely thought she…
Umbrella cockatoo, eleven, and he sneezes several times a day. Dry little sneezes, nares look clean, no mess on the feathers above his beak, and he is as loud and demanding as ever. Everything I find when I search this…
Peach faced male, about three. Several times a day now he bobs his head at me, does a pumping motion and brings up food, then tries to give it to my finger. He also does it to a bell in his cage. He looks completely…
Rescued a pigeon in spring, hand fed him for a few weeks, and he has been free in the spare room since. Lovely for months. In the last three weeks he coos at me, bows, turns in circles, and then pecks my hands hard and…
Green cheek, two and a half. She goes quiet for twenty minutes or so most afternoons, usually right after she has eaten, head tucked round and standing on one foot. Then she wakes up and is her usual appalling self for…
Two budgies, both about three, healthy as far as I know. I have a week away booked in November and no family nearby. I have been looking at automatic feeders and one of those big gravity water bottles, and on paper it…
Adopted a four year old male in July. He is fine when he is out, will sit on the sofa arm near me and whistle. The moment my hand goes through the cage door he leans back, flattens his crest, holds his wings away from…
Male budgie, about two. He grips the perch and flutters his wings hard without going anywhere, usually when I come into the room or first thing after the cover comes off. Sometimes there is head bobbing and a lot of…
Green cheek conure, four years old. Nearly every time she drinks she comes up and sneezes once or twice, then carries on as if nothing happened. She also likes dunking her whole face in the bowl, which I assume is…
Male tiel, twelve, had him most of his life. For the last three weeks he has been singing at eleven, midnight, sometimes later. Full song, not a mumble. Cage is in the living room, cover goes on about ten. He seems fine…
