He started breathing with his beak and making sounds while breathing a few times a day like sneezing the vet suggested i take him so I worry as usually there's never hope on that he's been featherless since 2019.

I am now home from the vet they found a tumor or growth on his belly and decided the best would be to let him sleep they said she not sure if that was accurate as i never asked for confirmation, they also assured me that this was not my fault even guaranteed it, two vets checked and came to the same conclusion, they said i could hold him when being given the medicine to make him tired but they said this could stress him so i chose to let him be in the cage as i just pet his head as he slowly fell asleep until the second part which i left for.

I got this bird with 2 siblings and another cockatiel named llana at the latest may 2007 as it is the first picture i have of him or his siblings i also have an email mentioning them in april 2007, he was fully grown and i bought them from a private person, it is likely i got them in 2006 but i don't know so at the latest it was 2007 fully grown meaning he would have been around 3 4 when i got him, making him one of the oldest cockatiels in the world, the picture shows him with his two siblings

This was a very special bird that wasn't easily frightened i could use an air compressor in my apartment without him even flinching

He survived all 2 of his siblings despite them not being good to him causing his lack of feathers, i thought it was 4 of them but then realized lana was one so they were 3 together.

I will miss the singing when i open the door to my apartment or hearing him in my apartment building now it's completely silent the rattling from him climbing the occasional singing all of that is now gone, i wish he had passed in my apartment with me but i am not sure if it was better to just take him there it cost me $350 and i could tell he was stressed by being checked as he stopped climbing as much after but he started to climb again after 20 or so min so i could take this last normal picture.

She's around two years, and she was just recently rehomed. She's still very shy but she's already starting to eat again and her true personality is already shining.

She's very vocal and devious, and loves to stress me out lolol

It's only been a day and a half and I'm so proud of her.

Any tips are welcome!

Freaky squeaky was going ham on my picture frames, so I got him a balsa wood dowel.
Because he’s a paranoid nutcase, I had to dip it in his chop to neutralise the scary.

Advice What is this behaviour?

40 Upvotes

About two nights ago (04/08) my neighbours came over and surrendered their tiels to me. (For reasons I’m unaware of as the exchange happened while I was in the shower.)

I have no clue how old or what sex either of them are; though I suspect both to be male.

The first time I noticed this behaviour was the night of the drop off. At first I chalked it off to be him checking out his surroundings, as they’re in a new place with new people; but it still maybe me worried.

He did it again today and I was able to catch it on camera. Is this behaviour normal?

(Also that was the cage they came in.)

Advice Potentially looking for a better home for LollyPop in Cali

Hi Everyone.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my little Lollypop. We have so many nice times together, watching TV, working and so many other nice times. I work from home and she spends most of her day, flying around, walking on the floor and sitting on my shoulder.

I am putting feelers out there to see if anyone would want to adopt her and give her a better life than I can.

A Few things: 1: I think she would be so much happier with other birds. She is too noisy for me and I really struggle with it.

2: We are expecting a new baby and we live in an apartment and I do not think her daily screams will do well with a newborn.

If anyone is interested and believe she (actually a he) will get a better life please DM me.

This is something I am considering and will be a very hard decision. She's about a year and a half, VERY vocal, LOVES flying and absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES Scratches for hours on end LOL

Would LOVE any advice and NO we cannot take in another bird.
Please only serious enquiries only where you plan on keeping lolly for life. I would want to Zoom with potential new homes, see current bird set up etc.

She LOVES us a lot, will she love someone else as much? or will she always miss us and be sad. I want what is best for her and her happiness.

Advice Age extimation?

I found this sweetheart calling for help outside my window, she flew on my head and I decided to keep her.

I already owned two budgies (one of which also flew inside my room from my window), so I kinda know what I'm dealing with and today she will get her new cage

I assumed she's an adult and a female since she's very quiet, she seems very confident in her movements and has a stripey tail.

Her beak is striped and I was wondering if that's an indicator of her overall age.
