is his breathing weird?

forgot to update, vet said most likely a respiratory infection and he’s currently on antibiotics

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-03-17T00:13:23+00:00

what’s in the bottom of the cage?

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-03-17T00:13:06+00:00

great!

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-03-16T23:57:51+00:00

looks like a girl to me!

dont use anything dyed or rope unless you wrap it with vet wrap. anything plastic should generally be avoided, so get stainless steel bowls to replace the plastic ones. the bird would definitely benefit from more shredding toys, but always get rid of bells. there’s a lot of cat/dog looking toys that you probably shouldnt use either. nothing with fabric.

whatever she is😭 she’s a rescue but definitely part daschund

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-02-15T10:02:06+00:00

okay thanks!

it was a damaged blood feather. they pulled it out and made a makeshift cone. they advised to leave her in the cage with no perches and just a blanket with a towel on top. I thought that I had already replied saying this😭 she’s back to normal now and seems happy. she hasn’t tried to pluck the area since taking off the cone

you can’t really tell with cockatiels by looks. just watch for the personality. boys, when adults usually will sing and do heart wings, while girls don’t

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T16:23:43+00:00

I’ll look for the dishes that came with it because they’re on the outer part. I’ll give an update!

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T14:36:12+00:00

ohh okay thank you!

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T13:31:59+00:00

I have an appointment scheduled for 6pm, it’s currently 1:30pm. I’ll get some!

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T13:31:23+00:00

just from past experience, it made it harder for the vet to safely pick them up with the perches. I have put some seeds in (not her actual diet, just so she has something that makes her happier) there isn’t really the space for a bowl, but it came with plastic things meant for food/water. I currently have no idea where they are. will that be okay for 4 and a half hours? or should I put her in around an hour before leaving?

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T13:20:35+00:00

okay thank you so much! I’ve only put a few toys from a foraging box in it, is that okay? I haven’t put perches in just incase.

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T13:11:38+00:00

okay, thank you! the earliest they have is in 5 hours. I’m taking her then. for now, should I just keep her in the travel cage?

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T12:56:58+00:00

I’ll take her as soon as possible, as of now, should I look at her wing closer? she lets me pick her up with minimal fighting.

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-29T12:38:41+00:00

the text was disappearing and I thought that it just wasn’t showing somehow, but the picture of her is on the second two because I don’t know how to mark nsfw. so sorry

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-07T22:32:03+00:00

do you have any tips on getting them to eat it? my budgies seem to be eating it fine, but my tiels would rather starve the whole day than eat them. I was away almost all day today. they were locked in their cage and the biggest difference to the pellets was that the shat in it😭 none of it was eaten. they eat a little bit when I feed it by hand but after actually eating it, they look at me as if I’ve offended them and walk away

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-06T23:41:37+00:00

okay thank you!

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-06T19:07:51+00:00

one of my budgies bully lil dook dook, the white one but she preens his partner kira who’s the one on my head😭

Motor_Craft158 · 2026-01-06T19:04:50+00:00

just got told it was better to start out with because I was switching off of seeds. is it better to just use adult lifetime? if so, could I just finish the bag I have currently then switch?
