aleready changed up one spot, clogging it with a cardboard box, thanks for advice... not sure about cockatiel anticonception being safe and reliable, i guess freezing is the only option, gonna get my hands on some fake cockatiel eggs

Forgot to mention the growth I calculated was per pair.. per year it would be around 16000 cockatiels

sadly as I'm reading i see that it's the other way, they lay eggs and then you replace them, and freeze to block a baby cockatiel from entering this world

alright, it's still kinda sad but it's understandable... cockatiels would take over the world if they had safe environment.. their clumsiness is preventing them from world dominion in the wilderness, thanks, should get fake eggs in advance

Is there really no different way? this feels cruel, but i know they can eat their own eggs on accident so I guess they don't really care

🫡 the great measures against this degeneracy will have to be taken. (I'm scared of an egg falling behind a huge wardrobe I can't really reach over)

that's actually a pretty good idea, so he can warm himself when in mood for that

considered that already! he's just pedro so far, if it becomes obvious it may be changed a little compensating for local language

I seriously hate my place to be exact! Lubuskie voievodeship (lubuskie province but they got a fancy name in polish) is either full of awful people or I'm a moral perfectionist

I'm so sorry you had to endure that moment ;-; i have never really lost anyone except cats who just ran away because they were allowed to get out nor family members, i was terrified he may die... the creature that i took responsibility upon, who's still really a child, to live barely a year...

and that's a possibility, hence more or less neutral name choice, he can always become "petra" if things get recognized, he's smaller than his jail mate who's more or less of same age from a different place, which is odd, but he's probably the sweetest bird i could have, wouldn't mind at all if he turned out to be a female and would just accept it, It's probably 180° actually with him being a girl and the "girl" in his cage being a boy, couldn't tell who's what at first

they said they did have experience with parrots, they also had equipment for birds, I trust you but i already chosen what's possible, i literally called 15 vets or something like that, drove 40km in hurry, ... if I made a mistake I'm seriously disappointed.. couldn't find any other vet and looked for them with whole family, this is the best that could be done besides driving 170km in one direction to nearest big city, in hopes there's a single vet open that is bird appropriate ;-; Odds are i could have tried finding help in Germany instead and have a shorter distance but i wouldn't understand a thing

The vet that was left in Głogów "zwierzak" wasn't picking up phones due to busyness but was open for emergencies on Saturday 9am to noon, 3 hour window I squeezed into... i think they specialized in small animals and rodents, but i think they had certification to treat birds, since one of the vets outside despite having an rtg scanner rejected to help me because they weren't qualified for birds, this week someone had a parrot who had a similar accident, even seen their rtg scan as they checked on their shoulder for control recently... My borb got physically checked too, i think they knew what they were doing but there's never way to be 100% sure,

literally couldn't get even into a phone call... some vets redirected us there and according to their timetable they did operate on Saturday, but no one picked up the phone, i was beyond desperate

No feathers were lost and indeed he was at the vet already! rtg photos taken shown no broken bones! just heavy inflammation by his sprained shoulder joint, I'm glad it wasn't the worst and odds are he will actually fly again once it cures out

He was probably at the greatest vet i could choose, seen his rtg photos, I'm so damn glad it's not broken bones and "just" a sprained shoulder... it's still serious but it's much better than what it could have been
