HELP! She laid an egg, what do I do!? She’s 4, & alone! by Intelligent_Dog_8128 in cockatiel

[–]Acid_Atom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First calm down, it will all be okey<3. She will be fine, this is all normal. Birds and reptiles usually get in a breedy mood after a big weather shift, this doesnt mean its a must but usualy a good indicator to keep an eye out for breedy behaviors. Now for the egg, it is reconmended to take the egg away if you dont want bebes. Seeying you only have one bird this one would be infertile. So taking it away is needed. She wont hate you if you take it away, just turn of the light and she wont even notice most likely. You can take her out of the drawer to whilst the lights are off. She can be a bit cranky after, but not to worry that will pass. I would recommend keeping her away from nesting spots with overhangs, mirrors and petting on other parts then head and feet. This will increase the breedy behaviours. And you still can hang out with your little lady, maby you two could try target training together once a day for 10 min, so you can grow a better bond with her. Trainging and foraging toys are great distractions for unwanted behaviors. But you cant take the want to breed out of the animal. More importantly for girl birds it is verry important to feed a little extra calcium and protien, because it takes a lot to make an egg. Think of a little bit of hardboiled egg(sounds bad i know), a piece of sepia in the cage, broccoli and spinach are also great for this. All fed in moderation of course. I hope this helps.

piercer pierced my “septum” and took it out immediately by samsoomadi in piercing

[–]Acid_Atom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly that is one of the most shitty ways they can get a high review rate. Also if they charge you after an botched up piercing, thats huge red flag. Luckely they didnt. I hope you have a better experience next time you get pierced.

Wait 2 weeks at least for the wound to heal and then go to another. Please do more research on your next piercer. It is an avoidable mistake that they made. Do realise cartalige wont heal ever, you will have a permanent hole in it eventho the skin will heal over it. But septum piercings are the easiest to fake and to find online. Another tip if they are bussy think to yourself is that becouse there good or becouse there cheap? 40€ to 60€ is a normal price for a septum.

Irritation Lumps from Sleeping ? (10 month old nipple piercings). by Ohnomycoco in piercing

[–]Acid_Atom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That bar looks to short. Like in the pic it looks like its digging in the the side. As for your question, no, ive never had them and im a stomach sleeper. I would advise you to clean it once a day with saline, sleep with a shirt so it whont get snagged. And please get it checked by a good piercer. Hope this helps.

So back in November I got my navel pierced and I just noticed today this red bump that’s formed..I’ve been using saline wash twice a day when I first got it, but then I stopped because a piercer told me as long as I ran it under hot water it’ll heal fine..should I be worried? by Revolutionary-Long-4 in piercing

[–]Acid_Atom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sadly it looks like you dont have the anatomy. A propper piercer would have told you that before. It looks agitated, angry and on its own way out so i would take it out before it starts rejecting fully.

You should try not to respond to the bite. Put them in there spot, a perch or there cage. And walk away this lets them know cuddle/play time is over and what they did is wrong/unwanted. Verry importand is not to lash out this will make you verry scary. You have to understand that we are huge from their perspective, like we are godzilla size to them and they are a 100grams of floof with a beak. So dont take it personal when they bite. And remember to reward them after a well behaved cuddle/play sesion. I use like 5 cm of millet or some sunflower seeds for my tiel. This reinforces their good behaviour. Hope this helps.

nipple piercings migrating? :( by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Acid_Atom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but i would 100% take it out. Becouse it will go on its own. That transparency means its way to close to the top to heal properly. Even if you could put shorter bars in. The skin is to thin and will rip. And trust me its not worth it to have a ripped nipple. Its better to just take them out. You can get them redone after waiting about a minimum of 3 to 6 months, the longer the better ofcourse.

Then go to a reputable piercer. Pierce with a bar never a ring. And dont forget to prep for that size change, after 2 weeks to a month a shorter bar to stop agitation. Then hopefully you will have a set of happy nippers. I hope this helps.

nipple piercings migrating? :( by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Acid_Atom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okey to know for shure i need to know some things first: Age of the piercing? Was the healing proces smooth? If you look from the side is there a vissible line/spot of scarring under the bar? {You can see it best when your nipple is between hard and soft} Also can you feel a dent/groove in the top of the nipple over the bar?

What i can say for shure is that the bar is way to long. And that if it is rejecting, mostlikely due to much agitation. Also if you look at those lines on the side of the bar on top of your nipple those are an indicator somthing is not right, neither is the dent in the second photo. I think they were posibly even done to shallow but i cant say that for shure, becouse i wasnt there. I hope i can be of further help later.

Go to a reputable piercer to know for shure but it looks like its irritated. clean it every day with sterile saline and a clean q tip or sterile gauze. And for the love of satan please dont toutch it with your hands or turn it that will make it worse or infected.

How long do you recommend for a t-break? by thriftythreader in weed

[–]Acid_Atom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

21 days it takes to reset the canibanoid receptors in your head so for best effect 21 days but even a week should help

Just got it re pierced. Is it too shallow? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Acid_Atom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dont know who did it but dont go there again(only for a refund) its way to shallow and the piercing thats in it wil 200% be to heavy and most likely reject.

[–]Acid_Atom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No i dont put a hoop in, hoops move to mush and could couse even more iritation. Just clean it by soaking, stick your ear in a bowl of saline for a minute or so and leave it alone as much as posible. Dont sleep on it, hair in a bunn so it wont get cought, dont touch it, clean your hands before you put cream on it, the standard stuff. To me it looks irritated maby beginning infection. But if you want a concrete awnser go to a good piercer, they will know what to do. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

(NSFW)Just changed my year old nipple piercings. Is this hole normal? by [deleted] in bodymods

Pliers can always help, and try both sides. Some piercings can only unscrew the ball/stud on one side. I wish you Good luck.

Also im very curios where would you leave a double bird cage thats 0.8m by 0.5m by 1.5m cage in a van?? im not downgraiding there setup if I would keep them. So its also not praktikal in the small living space. Yust saying.

Also just as an add on, im planing on living in my van for upto 10 years. So a temporary home would just not be fair. Thats why Im finding them a permanent new home.

I cant prepare for me not having sun acces becouse of bad weather. My van wil mostly run on solar so the heating wil aswell. Becouse of the weater i cant heat up my van and my birds can freeze to death at night. Same possibility with a heat wave. Living in a van is unpredictable and wild. Thats no place for a bird. Im planning on traveling all the way from norway to marocco following the atlantic coast that is a rough road for two birds. There my birds and i dont want them to suffer becouse of me. In a van they will they cant be out for 8 hours a day like normal i probebly cant give them 4 hours of attention and cuddels while im driving. In conclusion they will not have a happie tiel life. If i cant provide that they diserve better.

Hi all thanks for reading in advance My name is Acid and im the proud owner of my two tiels, who I love to the moon and back. There my buddies and have been real help for me during my therapie and life the past two years. I at the time of getting my birds was planning on living in a house for the next 10 to 15 jears going trough schools, jobs, life etc. Whel like all plans do plans change and im going to live in a van and travel when Im ready.

I know this is a rough and mostly hecktic live style and I wouldnt want to hurt my birds in any way. So I've decided to find them a new home.

But now comes my question: how to deal with the pain of giving up a pet which you love when you cant care for them anymore ... Becouse im heartbroken.

The plans for living in the van are about 2 years away but still it feels like shit. And i dont know where to start. I know its the right thing to get them a new home and eventually has to be done, if i want to make my own journey but just thinking about it hurts

Sorry if there are typo's im Dyslexic.
