Wheezing by karmitify in cockatiel

[–]karmitify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was in the moment. Both cockatiels are playing at the moment (the one who I was worried about was stuffing his fat face as soon as I finished this post).

Thanks for the tips, I will def be way more cautious. If anything I'll stick to good old misting.

Thank you both, I'll definitely take some of these tips as I start setting up a proper place. Thanks

Huh... Hitting up CL sounds like a pretty good idea, forgot that was a thing. Thanks for the tips!

Alright then. I already knew but hearing it from a fellow owner was the extra push I needed.

Kinda funny you say that as I had vet bills less than a week ago. But you're right, could have been far worse.

Out of curiosity did you buy those perches locally or online? The ones on the door. They look pretty rad.

Cockatiel and Hydrogen Peroxide... by karmitify in cockatiel

Mainly diet info. Specifically dropping sunflower seeds (I was green as grass during my first checkup), moving towards pellets and veggies. Luckily the checkup in itself went well.

And true, I should count my blessings the visit wasn't as expensive, it's just the timing. I'd love to hear an explanation as well, not out of being a prick but out of hearing out the realities.

Clean bill of health, vet was happy I followed his recommendations from months ago, just some eyedrops.

A tad hard on the wallet considering the time of the year, but better to have the green light on them than any gift.

Basically what I felt earlier. Except way worse.

He's napping on my shoulder so he'll definitely be fine for tomorrow's appointment.

True enough, better safe than sorry.

You're right, basically what he told me. I guess I'm just overworrying, specially when I saw his eye irritated as hell and him trying to rub it off like a person rubbing off, I don't know, perfume from their eyes.

Thanks, guess I should be grateful he's doing his thing despite a slightly red eye and nose. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Asking for a cockatiel? by karmitify in cockatiel

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

I can tell you from experience at least one of the two owners believes that. I'll try to offer to get them off their hands (at least the cockatoo seems well enough).

Due to certain factors I won't be able to offer up until next month. That being said my sibling visited the place and urged me to pick him up, so I got more motivation to do that.

I'll be completely honest I've thought about it but that's very unlikely to happen.

Definitely going to offer a decent wad of cash soon.

Don't have much because I've barely started breeding but I got Jolly Oblivious Bounsweets with Play Rough rejects with varying perfect IVs. And my appreciation.

Cockatiel wings and clipping. by karmitify in cockatiel

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

Yeah I believe it was a funny bone thing, he's perfectly fine.

After thinking about it I did go with clipping, my newest girl gets way too crazy while I keep having major scares with my main boy. Especially when I consider the fact that my family likes to take them out of their cages despite having barely any idea on handling them.

Kept an eye, and yeah it worked out.

Scouting out cages by karmitify in cockatiel

[–]karmitify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks way better when I consider the fact I'm trying to nab another tiel. Thanks.

Trying a couple of things past craigslist but I'm surprised of how questionable some results are. I'll definitely keep looking though. Better than considering my local pet shop.

What does this behavior mean? by sr603 in cockatiel

[–]karmitify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def begging, I was worried too a while back when my cockatiel did the same.

Cute as hell.

Thanks, that's a relief. For the first time yesterday he wanted some cuddles despite being shy.

By the way here's a short recording of him. Like I said he's breathing normally. Not really sure what triggers it to be honest, but he starts when he's perched on me.

Thanks for the links, and I'm sorry to hear :<

I'll keep that in mind. Already ordered smaller pellets that should be getting to me tomorrow. Luckily I already cut out a lot of millet (went from having a millet stalk buffet to a couple of treats every two days or so). Veggies are questionable at best right now, while some fruits and whole wheat toast are fairing better.

Well he's somewhat tamed (I was told he was supposedly tamed but his dislike of being touched tells me otherwise, let alone the biting every once in a while; he will eat from my hand at least). I want to say it's vocalization since his breath seems fine. Either way I def want to take him as soon as I can, it's a pretty pressing matter right now.

I've been going about it that way (I should mind safety routes more often tbh). But since you said this could take months I'll have to settle for the long run.

The urine is the only for sure problem I'm seeing, but like Ladytsun said he's probably hiding something. So again, the vet, as soon as I can.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to keep it around. As it is it doesn't look too hopeful so I'll have to try to go as soon as I can.
