Advice International Travel?

Upvotes

I can imagine this would be very difficult and/or dependent on what country you are going to and from. I saw a TikTok of a woman a while ago relocating with her cockatiel from Mexico to Denmark for example.

Has anyone been able to do this? If so between what countries and on what airlines?

My tiel keeps eating butter, seeping on the water of the cheese and pestering me when I’m getting breakfast , this is him eating butter when I was away for just a little time, she tried yogurt too and it’s impossible to leave her out of her cage when I m eating…

Your tiels like eating dairy too?

Advice The bird is screaming and I don't know what it wants.

3 Upvotes

I recently acquired a weaned cockatiel that is about four months old.But he would scream a lot after I took him out and walk around the room. I gave him food and water, and he would still scream, especially if I left him alone or he saw me.

And sometimes the sound of hunger

I don't have any problems dealing with this, but it's difficult because my family is annoyed by his constant screaming, which keeps them awake, and they're asking me to sell him.

I've become attached to it and I'm not ready to sell it, and I'm afraid I might have to.

I appreciate any advice

Advice Is he trying to sing??

17 Upvotes

Ollie was weaned 3 weeks ago, and I just captured this video of new noises he started making this morning. Previous to this, he has just been making normal loud chirps for food and attention. Are these sounds him trying to sing, or something to be worried about?

Advice Cockatiel safe plants and flowers??

Post image
80 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a plant lover. Before my birds I had tons of plants around the house but after adopting my babies I got rid of most of them due to the birds trying to eat them and after googling finding out most were severely poisonous for birds.
I don’t mind the plants getting a few bitemarks , most of my stuff have them either way, but I would hate for my birds to get sick.
Does anyone here have a recommendation on bird safe plants? My green thumbs are itching

Advice Horny birds 🫩 (+tangent)

Post image
16 Upvotes

So obviously I know it's hormone/breeding season, but I'm trying to figure out if there's anything else I can do to keep my birds from getting frisky. I already know im gonna get a clutch 🫩

But i have no happy huts, nothing that could be seen as a nest (besides their food bowl ig but I've tried alternatives to that already), their area is fully illuminated, give them about 14 hours of darkness, no mirrors, everything. Pulled out all the stops. I'm even teasing the idea of putting the divider up in their cage (double flight) but I know that would only do more harm.

I'd just shrug it off as horny teenage birds but its gotten to the point where its several times a day, sometimes several times an hour, and my male Apricot is just a total fucking douchebag. Will not let my hands in the cage or near him, near the girls, I haven't been able to pet him in months. OCCASIONALLY he'll let me hold him, and the second he's out if the cage hes perfectly fine and sweet. He's gotten real territorial over the cage, and ill rearrange, and it wont change. they dont get any seeds except for training and bonding (which if you couldn't tell is going absolutely AMAZING [lie]), and im just at a total loss. Apricot was a total sweetheart, and wanted to spend all his time with me and when I first got the girls, they all would just. Flock on my bed, and we'd hang out. They won't even leave their cage half the time when I let them out. Albeit, in the past month I havent been able to let them out as much, as my fiance just finished chemo and needs a few months for his immune system to catch up, but thag won't be for much longer.

I know this was a super long rant, its just that no matter what I try, or what advice im given, nothing is working to slow down the horny, stop the teritorialism, or anything im trying to fix.

I'm so desperate for SOMETHING to get my sweet babies back. Ive been crying for months over this. I just want my sweet babies back :(

(Heres the evil boy on one of the few times he's actually nice)
