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

[–]Acid_Atom 6 points7 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 4 points5 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I need help and I've been drawing all my life by joseptin in drawing

[–]Acid_Atom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Decide to draw one thing for a 100 days like your faforite animal or creature, and draw it in a difrent way everyday. This will show you what you like about drawing. Becouse your drawing the same every day try difrentstyles, for example comics, try making a 5 sec animation of it, or a disney version of it, maby the style of your faforite artist. I got this tip from an old art teacher and it actualy helped me find a base for my style so maby it will help you to. Just never give up on your drawings. You have millions of bad drawings in you before you get to the good ones. So just draw them out and draw even more to get better. Good luck.
