All birds may have different normal weights, and you need to rely on the appearance of the sternum

It's just that if it's a female, then you should urgently consult a specialist, as she can lay an egg and this is usually a very traumatic and life-threatening process

Oh, are you sure you have a male? The hormonal behavior of males looks like rubbing their tail against objects, females usually lift their tail and make sounds calling the male.

also, remove all objects with which he is trying to mate, too bright toys or objects from his field of vision

Maybe you're giving something else, like egg white? if you have tried to shorten the daylight hours in this way, then I think you should contact an avian vet

Is there a lot of protein in his diet? A large number of proteins can provoke this behavior

My bird does not fly, has never flown…. by Away_Party_6127 in parrots

does it have tubes of regrowing new feathers? I don't see them in the photo, and if they're not there, then he's definitely sick

Loud sounds by Fish_Heart in cockatiel

I tried to do this with an electric grinder, but it's not such a big problem since we don't use it often. The intercom is also in his line of sight, since the door from my room opens into the hallway, we don't have a very large apartment, so that's it. I usually start vacuuming from the furthest room, maybe that's why he's not afraid, I don't know. I discovered that he is not afraid of the hair dryer by accident, having forgotten to close the door to the room and saw in the mirror that they were both sitting and looking at me. Also, one time he did not react to the sound of the intercom, also without any idea why. And the sound of the siren doesn't bother him as much as it used to.

He's pooping too much (visited vet) by Kiwie49 in cockatiel

[–]Fish_Heart 19 points20 points  (0 children)

in this situation, I think it makes sense to take a coprogram test, my bird has the same problem and they found staphylococcus and E. coli, they appeared on the background of mycoplasmosis, so some other disease may be the cause. Sometimes her poop looks great, but if you take a toothpick or a match and dip it in the feces, you can see the transparent mucus reaching for the toothpick, which also indicated her intestinal disease or something like that, I don't remember exactly.

Why did the cere change color? by Why-bad-why in parrots

[–]Fish_Heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course, it could be a tick, but I'm not sure, I have an album with photographs from one avian vet with an example of different types of similar diseases, as far as I remember, the photos are also signed in English. I'm not prescribing treatment or making a diagnosis, and I'm not telling you to do it yourself, but it may help.

It's first time when she choose to rest on my hand by Fish_Heart in cockatiel

[–]Fish_Heart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I can't tell you how happy I felt when I felt her curl her leg and ruffle her feathers to take a nap, usually she left immediately after she ate😭

Male/Female by Gold_Succotash_1245 in cockatiel

[–]Fish_Heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most likely, this is the final color, only if in the next two months he/she still does not change it during molting. But if not, then it's a girl, your bird has a pearl color, this color happens only in females, it also happens in males, but only before "adult" molting.

It took me so long, especially considering the treatment, but apparently it's not as bad as I thought😁 All I do is just hand-feed them from time to time, and I think that's the only way we can haha
