my 12 year old cockatiel phoenix hasn’t played peekaboo in years 😭 i thought he forgot about it

As you can hear I am cheering him on, but that one brain cell is not home at the moment.

Lennon got a physical today with the avian vet. The vet said she is a little overweight due to her all seed diet from before (introducing pellets and veggies to her diet) and one nostril was blocked. But overall she is healthy and happy. 😊

He just recently started doing this like last night recent. At first I thought he was stuck until he started doing it repeatedly 😭This is so weird n he’s also biting the cage. Is he just bored?

Goofy angles
I’m not holding his head hard btw he can get out

He doesn't like it when I move when he's very fluffy on my hand.

Munchkin got hit with a door, she was flopping around and in pain. My girl wrapped her up quick and got her to the closest emergency vet with an exotics doc. He said "we have to put her down". The vet left and gave her some time with the bird while they prepared for the procedure.

The bird started acting FINE, its jumping around, its flying, its chewing at her ring like it always does, chirping, etc. There is a visible lump on its head and some feather missing..

I advised her, bring that bird home, do not let them fucking kill it. . . Any advice from redit, could there be a reason to put this bird down or do some vets not know how to work on birds so they just kill them?

Edit: she is coming home with some pain meds and antibiotics. I posted her picture in a reply in this thread.

Roux was feeling a little off last week, but after seeing her favorite vet she’s feeling all better! Which of course means demanding unlimited scritches

Hey guys wanted to show you my little girl she’s so adorable!!! 🥰

It's hard work being small and cute and doing absolutely not a single thing all day every day

hi everyone! i’m r sorry if this may not be the appropriate subreddit but i’ve been struggling to find out what my birds gender is and i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me? each time i look at charts on google it keeps saying that my bird might be a boy but my neighbors keep saying that it’s a girl , (they used to own the bird before they gave it to us), another thing for my birds characteristics is that it’s always singing and clingy, each time my family and i leave the house just won’t stop screaming. there is a bird shop nearby that does dna testing but im scared to go since they offer a service where you clip your birds wings and i dont feel comfortable leaving them alone with my bird. so im just really confused and would like some help if possible 🥲🥲

Rose has been doing this more and more frequently as time goes on and it’s gotten to the point to where even covering her doesn’t stop it anymore. And she will go and go and go, same chirp non stop. The only thing me and my dad know for sure is it’s something to do with him. We don’t know if she’s obsessed, too emotionally attached to him or what. I had him go outside to show the silence and the immediate calling when she hears the door open. If rose quiets down but then hears his voice in the other room she’ll start up again. Before it was “okay she just wants time with him outside her cage” we’d take her out, she’d perch on him while he does stuff, he’ll give her attention etc. after that she’d be okay or less vocal. Now he’ll do that, doesn’t matter for how long, he’ll put her back in and like clockwork she’ll start. Her cage isn’t covered a majority of the time so also she’s learned his car and if she sees a silver car through the window pulling into our lot she’ll start up thinking he’s home. if he’s in the garden outside and she spots him through the window she’ll start Like it’s BAD. Also it’s the ONLY chirp she really makes. She doesn’t do any other sounds. Please help (PS pls ignore the living situation it’s messy right now)

sweet little pufferfish

Took these little ones home today! They won’t have names until kiddo gets back here to name them. He has come up with some truly peculiar names in the past, and I’m hoping he won’t disappoint!

They are siblings, and were born 6/11 and 6/17. The one with the magnificent crest has black eyes so isn’t a full lutino. This one may be a male (breeder thinks there is a good chance) so I’m going with “him” for now. He’s the youngest in his clutch. He is very tame and hitched an hour-long ride on my head and shoulders. He is super laid-back and even said hello to the budgies through the cage. We are in love.

Other one has red eyes and 99% sure she is female. She’s the oldest sibling. Her crest looks a lot less magnificent right now, because she was weaned over a week ago and was hanging with the adults in the aviary… and then annoyed an adult in the aviary and got a little haircut. She is fine, she just has a case of scraggle head. She wants nothing to do with me right now but deigned to nibble some millet from my hand. Then hissed at my hand. She is an angry red-eyed chicken witch and I love her.

They’re staying in the travel cage tonight because sister didn’t want to get out and I’m not going to force her. My son is going to lose his mind; he’s wanted cockatiels for a while now and they’re his birthday surprise!

Any advice would be great please

she's a derp i mean star ✨(she actually did this a couple of times before we removed the branch)
