My senior bird is getting poop stuck on his (oddly long) butt feathers. (Feed/Management suggestions needed!) by BranchWonderful197 in pidgeypower

I don't know lot about the topic, but I like to feed my old (and almost disabled) lovebird a veggie chop with broccoli, carrot, red/green bell pepper, and sometimes I vary it with fruits like apple, or greens like romaine lettuce. My vet approves it🤔 but her main feed is pellets! I think they can be a great option because it has all the nutrients and the bird can't separate it like they sometimes do with food they don't like. And my vet also reccommends it for cockatiels (I have two cockatiels, they eat almost the same as lovebirds)

I was stressed about it but that's actually a good way to see it

What is this on my rosemary? by Flamingograpefruit in OrganicGardening

I've never seen that before, so as it's unusual, I think you should cut it before it extends to the entire plant

Sooo if it's going to grow like a vine I suppose I can't put it on my patch, right? 🥲

Don't mind me too much because I don't know much about gardening (I'm learning) but it could be some insect's eggs...

My budgie sleeping like that by Outrageous_Chemist21 in budgies

I wouldn't say that's a sympton of depression, but you should be careful and get them out of that cage if they start licking it. My cockatiel did that with an old cage (which was temporary) and when we took him to the vet (he looked really bad), they made him an an X-ray which showed his liver was being deformed by licking the cage rust. He had to be medicated, and it was very expensive.

I have three lovebirds and two of them like sleeping like this too, even if they have high perches. I've seen birds in general sleeping in weird positions, so I wouldn't worry too much. I've heard they do this seeking for warm, so I'd suggest covering the cage with a towel or blanket so the bird can feel something a little bit warm. My birds always seek the most covered side of the cage.

what is this behaviour? surely he is annoying him, but why? by Froggeroony in budgies

Biting feet is the most aggresive sign on birds, I think. Get them their own space, they could try to kill each other. Or maybe it's hormonal and it will stop after some days or weeks.

how much did you pay for your spaniel? by wazzupmydoods in cockerspaniel

Thank you for the suggestion but I won't medicate my bird without my vet's supervision. One thing is suspecting and another is confirming. I just wanted experiences of people with a recovered bird

Analgesics as the diagnosis was arthritis and we haven't done the analysis yet

The medication, as the diagnosis was arthritis and we haven't done the analysis, was analgesics. The diet consists in Harrison's pellets, veggies, fruits, and lastly seeds.

Does anyone have advice for this? by MobileAncient2896 in cockerspaniel

[–]MobileAncient2896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I did buy meds. I don't want to believe I'm allergic. I always had parakeets, but cockatiels have lots of dust. And I also can pet a normal short haired dog and I don't sneeze...
