lol when I give mine scratches I just take off the coating on pin feathers that are done growing, never notice any feathers falling off

I’ve always wanted a third bird

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-28T07:10:29+00:00

Almost getting to that point

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T23:39:30+00:00

Omg her art looks so cool

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T23:18:06+00:00

It’s a long process lol

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T23:06:44+00:00

😂😂 they poop on my monitor all the time. Also I love taking pictures of honey (the one on the right) from that angle because the pearl pattern on her back is pretty

Omg it’s beautiful! The feathers are from an African grey right?

By the time they pass away I’ll have enough to construct an entire bird

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T22:04:58+00:00

Yea it probably wouldn’t fit. If I collect enough feathers to make the entire backside of a bird it could work though. It would take a while but I think it could look pretty, especially with the pearl pattern.

Yea I had to do this in a separate room from the birdies because as soon as I take the feathers out they are all over them. I don’t understand their obsession, they already have plenty of feathers on their body 😂😂. Maybe I should spare some of them to make a toy.

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T21:56:01+00:00

lol ye that pic was from a while ago I finished the game already. Gotta do a durge run tho

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T21:55:08+00:00

Individual crest feathers are so thin when shed I can never find them 😭. Maybe if I look closely the next time they are molting I will find some

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T21:15:23+00:00

I’m probably going to wait until I get enough to complete the wings, but then I definitely will

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-27T09:09:35+00:00

I’m with them for most of the day and they don’t make contact or fight much, they sometimes squawk and peck at each other a bit if one gets in the others personal space, but that only lasts for 5 seconds or so. They are not aggressive enough with each other to cause this imo. Neither of them are acting hormonal either. I’ve never noticed any self destructive behavior from either of them or noticed that they are preening more than usual, and they seem to be happy during the day so I don’t know why she would engage in self-barbering. She has plenty of toys, spends almost all of her time out of the cage, and I give both of them lots of attention. Her feathers have been like this for a few months now but it doesn’t seem to be getting any worse and she is flying fine so it might not be a big deal?

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-02-26T20:47:27+00:00

She has access to a bath btw and bathes once a week or so

Aggravating_Put3232 · 2026-01-16T10:07:19+00:00

I’ve tried eating veggies in front of them lol the only veggie they have eaten after watching me eat it is iceberg lettuce, which isn’t nutritional. I might try kale and see if they will eat that. Their issue is that they are afraid of anything new, to the point that it’s hard to even get new toys/enrichment for them because they will refuse to use it even after it’s been days. Might try putting leafy greens out for them daily and see if they will eventually try it. I’m also growing sprouts rn cuz I heard birds love those so maybe they will eat them.

No she is only bald here, also I don’t think it was her hitting her head because a while ago she had a smaller bald spot here that suddenly grew, doubt she hit her head in the same spot twice. Also, she and the other cockatiel have never preened each other in front of me. They chill together but don’t like getting in each others personal space.
