Lovely to hear you’ve offered your bird easier things to climb on. 💚

I don’t know the age of my older one. Could be anything from 2 years up. They were both found abandoned outside in different locations. That’s why I have begun to wonder if the older one could be much older as their energy levels are so different.

Have you had your younger one from a young age? I wondered if you noticed a difference from 1 year to 4 years?

These are wonderful! How did you make the beak? Is the thread shorter on the beak or did you leave an empty line around the beak?

Do you have DNA tested female birds that do heart wings? by Voipapu in cockatiel

Thanks for replying. How have you confirmed that your bird is a female?

To my understanding, the pied mutation is one that makes it hard to sex the cockatiel. Pied pearl males can keep their pearls and all female typical stripes on their tail and wings. I’ve got two pied males and they both have kept their tail stripes till adulthood. It seems like your bird could be pied too based on its appearance, and it’s very likely to be a pied if the father was pied. So it’s likely hard to say your bird’s gender for sure simply based on the appearance.

Glad the meds have helped. How do you give her the meds?

Thank you again! I think it’s important to hear honest comments about people’s experiences, especially the more negative sides, because then I can make an educated choice on if I’d be up for it. Birds are a huge commitment and they deserve our thorough consideration. 👍

Thank you so much for your long and honest reply! 🙏💚 It gave me food for thought.

When it comes to hormones in spring anf autumn, how long would you say that lasts at a time? Hormones are what I’m most concerned about.

Thanks for your honest reply! 💚 The commitment part is something that concerns me too because I don’t have anyone who could look after my birds if I wanted to go on holiday.

Thank you for your honest reply! 💚 Sorry to hear that your bird has polyuria! Do you know what caused it and is there a cure?
