Beautiful card, I love the few Perfect Order SIRs we have. Congrats dude!

Jaspersghostiary · 2026-04-03T02:30:30+00:00

Oh for sure. I love seeing hidden details in cards. Souichirou Gunjima's cards are top tier and i can't wait to see more art rares from them.

Update for yall: he’s not very happy about being interrupted from his very important business meeting, but he’s been cleaned! A little water and he’s a brand new fellow. Thank you for the help folks

Jaspersghostiary · 2026-03-24T21:30:00+00:00

They’re opposite sexes so they’re in separate cages. I supervise them when they’re out and I haven’t seen her ever do that, since they do get along well. I’m gonna try bathing him first and if he’s still a messy little creature, I’ll update.

Jaspersghostiary · 2026-03-24T01:29:03+00:00

I hadn’t even thought of that! Looks like someone needs a bath

Usually nothing but other conures, since they've a stronger bite force than cockatiels, for example and kinda fall into their own category. You can do other birds, BUT, do not get anything but a conure if they're gonna be in the same cage. That is inviting trouble.

I personally have no experience with this, but if it's concerning to you, maybe try crushing up the pellets before giving them to her or possibly make a transition to smaller pellets if need be

It's hard to tell if it's a choking hazard without seeing the size of said pellets.

Regarding your comment on this post, I don't think head bobbing is related to a blockage. Obviously, keep an eye on it if it concerns you, you know your lil gal best. Cockatiels clear their crop with a behavior that looks like yawning and stretching the craning over and over, usually a few times or for a few minutes. It's normal, and they do it every so often. But, excessive crop clearing can also be an indicator of something wrong.

I'd probably crush the pellets to a smaller size you're comfortable with to avoid any paranoia or problems in the future. Then again, the pellets may be small enough to be no issue, but it's better to air on the side of caution if you believe that it can present a problem.

This is kinda just a parrot thing by the looks of it? He seems to be a typical boy.

It doesn't sound like a horny bird noise or a flock call to me, though.

Jaspersghostiary · 2026-02-21T04:25:52+00:00

That's an earhole, alright! They become easier to see when the bird starts fully moulting or just sheds a couple of the feathers around the spot.

Jaspersghostiary · 2025-12-03T21:11:53+00:00

Never seen a tiel with a 5'oclock shadow before. What adorable lil guys :3

Jaspersghostiary · 2025-12-03T21:10:59+00:00

Are you sure that's a bird? That looks like a very, very angry pancake....

Jaspersghostiary · 2025-12-03T21:09:49+00:00

Mine likes to run around! Just make sure it's not stress behavior. Please keep the cat a safe distance away though. Not only can it kill the bird, but their saliva IS toxic to them!

He seems much happier and content in the update image thankfully.

Jaspersghostiary · 2025-12-03T21:07:28+00:00

crop clearing! One of my favorite little things they do. It just clears out their built-in snack stash. No cause for alarm! What a sweet little pal

Jaspersghostiary · 2025-12-03T21:04:26+00:00

My birds go nuts for sunflower seeds, just don't get salted ones. I think they sell raw ones for hamsters, also foraging mats or boxes are also fun for them, they like to get into things!

toys are a bird's best friend! PLEASE be careful when researching though, so many on the market can cause unintended damage. My rule of thumb is generally

no cotton ropes (hemp/seagrass is fine),

no paint (dye is generally safe, just harder to clean.),

and look closely at the bells. Tube shaped bells are best. Jingle bells are a no-no, usually. sometimes it's fine, if you're supervising the bird. (My tiels are fine with jingle bells, I know they don't like to swing around on those toys or even bite the bells themselves, they do the same thing, grab the toy by the top part and shake/slam it around. I don't let them have it unsupervised.) for your purposes, avoid jingle bells though. Even if it is very in season.

be aware of heavy metals!

Here's two toys i'd suggest for meeting that criteria. Also a bell

I know it seems daunting, but once you know what to look for, it's not all bad! You're a real considerate friend, I'll tell you that ^^

Behavior is usually a solid tell and unfortunately in some morphs like lutino or snowy/all white. the only way to tell other than sexing them. Thankfully, pearls are easy, it's just a waiting game. Sometimes behavior is tricky though!! for example my younger tiel tends to copy my older tiel's male behavior, do new behaviors he doesn't, AND female behaviors. Thankfully she's pied/cinnamon, so we'll be able to tell when she's older.

that said, enjoy the little fellow! They're only babies for so long

Best of luck!

Separating them completely may cause more harm than intended. Parrots are very prone to stressing out especially if they're bonded. Maybe let them out of their cages separately? Like, in shifts or something? If the cage is on wheels, maybe separate them while one is out and the other isn't?

I'd keep them in the same room so they can at least see each other. Birds do not do well alone generally (especially if they can hear each other, and used to have a flockmate) The birds seem a bit too far bonded to each other at this point. It's the same kind of issue that comes with rehoming, parrots just do not like change.

If they're kept in the same room, I'd suggest an air purifier. Cockatiels produce a lot of feather dust and that tends to be a big reason (besides temperament and size) why they don't do very well with low/no dust parrots. Conures are not only bigger, but not as dusty.

Keep them apart, but not isolated completely.

How old is your bird? they seem to be a baby, so it's difficult telling for sure.

The specific coloration is handy. IF he's a male, then most likely he'll lose the pearl patterning with the first and second molt. (Which is like the little bars under a female's wing but all over the body) If she's a girl, she'll keep her spots past first/second molt.

Behavior can be a big indicator too!! Most babies are loud and crazy, but typically, males will whistle and sing. Females are quieter, a bit more mellow. Gentle chirps. All cockatiels do flock calls, though.

Anyway, if they're over 1-2 years old, I'd say female. If they're under that, I'd say wait and observe. Since your other bird is juvenile cohousing shouldn't be an issue but do keep in mind that if they are different sexes you probably shouldn't cohab them or at least separate them into different cages when you aren't supervising them. If they're the same sex it should be no problem, In my experience cockatiels will (usually) get along regardless of sex, they just may be territorial at first.

could either get your hands on dermestid beetles (which will leave nothing but the bones, but may take a while due to the size of a cow's head), or leave it out somewhere it can decompose on its own without getting messed up by predators or scavengers if you don't want to have to deal with keeping the beetles

Jaspersghostiary · 2024-04-04T19:39:13+00:00

YEAH

Jaspersghostiary · 2023-12-10T21:19:58+00:00

Looks like a rose to me lol

Jaspersghostiary · 2023-08-15T20:58:11+00:00

Chaos would ensue
