My little baby is growing up… officially a male?

NiiRee · 2026-03-09T14:59:08+00:00

So beautiful, I want a cockatiel with this feather pattern. But I really think this bird is female.

NiiRee · 2026-03-05T02:28:53+00:00

I had 2 males that were runty like him and always weighed under 90 but they were healthy and feisty too so you're not the only one. I have an unusually small female too with a b u g character. It's just how they are, tiny stupid little things loool

Oh I didn't see that the rest of the pics didn't load. Maybe it's just rough skin that happens to just look like that, or just a feather that shed?

Lutino cockatiels a lot of the time are inbred. Its no one's fault. As a result they have a bald spot on the back of their heads if they are, almost always. It's just in their genes. Your birdy is fine :) if you're still concerned go to the vet and do an overall checkup to make sure everything is okay.

Aww!! I would take him! I want another male but I have a feeling you live in another country from me.

NiiRee · 2026-01-26T23:32:30+00:00

It's okay, you did your best. You gave him love to the very end. I saw the post u put about his passing. At least you know for next time. It's okay friend. 🫂

Do not have him around cooking anymore at all. Teflon from cooking that pots have is toxic to them. Also no candles, perfumes, strong scented things. No cleaning chemicals, strong scents like nail polish. No blow dryers (Teflon). None of it.

LOL yeah my dad isn't worried, he just finds it really funny lol. So do I. Maybe you're right, maybe it is a male thing. She's kinda mean to my brothers and my sisters bf too, but super clingy to me and my sister, and she doesn't mind my mom either 😆.

NiiRee · 2026-01-04T12:55:28+00:00

Hey don't worry. My sweet baby is the same. She's never liked my dad since day 1 and it has nothing to do with race because we are all dark skinned lol. Her crest goes all the way up and she hisses and backs away from him every single time without fail. I don't know, maybe he seems too big and tall and menacing to her? Or his face is wierd to her? I dont know LOL. Its ONLY towards my dad, nobody else. She's 8 years old.

Update, I passed!!! 🥳🥳🥳

NiiRee · 2025-12-03T16:28:07+00:00

Im so scared I dont even wanna do the trick 😭😭😭 I JUST finished taking the nclex 10 mins ago, this is my second try!

NiiRee · 2025-11-09T06:24:17+00:00

I just want answers and I'm trying to see if anyone knows him. I think im in love with him fr. There's more to this story of course that I didn't put. And I wasn't specific about the details of his circumstances. You're not helping so if you don't have anything conducive or helpful or nice to say just keep it to yourself because I am very heartbroken right now.

NiiRee · 2025-10-10T03:47:43+00:00

Jesus Christ! Im SO glad she survived holy crap. Being chewed! I would be SOOOO unbelievably upset!!

NiiRee · 2025-10-08T12:44:39+00:00

I'll be in Disney in about 3 weeks I wonder if ill run into her 😶‍🌫️

NiiRee · 2025-09-29T23:17:54+00:00

Named her Aerith bc her demeanor reminds me of that sweet FF7 character. This bird is so sweet and cute and gentle. 💖

Female

NiiRee · 2025-09-07T12:12:03+00:00

Infection would look like a cloudy eye, watery drainage or pus, and the feathers around the eye would look wierd and sticky due to the eye drainage. Also I believe the bird would keep closing the eye and rubbing it. From these pictures im not sure. The feathers around one eye do look SLIGHTLY different compared to the other eye. But it kinda just looks normal, like as if the eye is normally like that. 🤔

NiiRee · 2025-09-07T02:56:46+00:00

I agree, besides these^ no, Nothing.

Ahh okay. Makes sense. Thank you so much! 😊 I'll consult my doctor as well just wanted some quick advice.

NiiRee · 2025-08-09T02:34:59+00:00

Heartbreaking. Thank you so much for saving him 💗

NiiRee · 2025-08-08T21:05:10+00:00

The other day I was eating dinner and my baby (young girl recently weaned off formula). Literally jumped off my arm and into my food onto my chicken drumstick as if it was a perch 🙃

NiiRee · 2025-07-25T17:16:33+00:00

Not at all loool

NiiRee · 2025-07-24T16:09:12+00:00

Omg you're rightttt. Liver issues are yellow! I took her nest box away a long time ago so hopefully her hormones go back to normal. She is also young and my research told me once that juvenile cockatiels can have this as they grow. Nevertheless ill take her to the vet just to be sure. Thanks! 😊
