He's napping a lot as I've read but he sleeps at both the bottom of the cage AND top perch.

His head looks completely fine though. They aren’t falling out more than usual or anything, but I can’t figure out why this happening.

She has always had fluffy and messy looking feathers and I think it is because her parents plucked her back, back of neck and legs. Is this ok? I was thinking she might still be healing but if it is a molt it is too early right?FBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995180888477676062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975846403484404990.post-659034181416295422019-10-11T11:19:57.360-07:002019-10-11T11:19:57.360-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.django47https://www.blogger.com/profile/13067598835104658434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975846403484404990.post-57431817225626261682019-10-11T10:26:01.838-07:002019-10-11T10:26:01.838-07:00Opposite of people. lolOpposite of people. loldjango47https://www.blogger.com/profile/13067598835104658434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975846403484404990.post-67506465300022033252017-11-29T11:15:46.206-08:002017-11-29T11:15:46.206-08:00Thank you for all this information.

I would offer her food from my hand. When he/she finally takes the food it shows trust. Give the little one time. Be patient. Don't get upset. Don't show fear when he/she tries to bite you. Just take your hand or whatever you're offering away. Read their body language. The poor thing is now in a completely different environment. But with time you can give him/her a wonderful, happy home!

We inherited my husband'...Hi, I am a new owner. We inherited my husband's grandmother teil after she passed away. This bird is 33 years old! Which in reading is very old for this species. She is very sweet and has us trained to pet her often. I'm noticing lots of feathers in her cage, I'm hoping it's molting. But I am also nervous about the feathers because 1 she's very old 2 she's had a lot of changes in the last 2 months. She is acting like her old self, eating, drinking, singing, dancing. I've never witnessed a molt so should I be concerned? It's mainly tiny feathers and a tail feather. She's never been out of her cage or handle much so, I'm scared to try anything new with her age. Any advice or places for more information is appreciated!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766367238831141920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975846403484404990.post-72972558685920651452016-06-30T20:55:12.718-07:002016-06-30T20:55:12.718-07:00I've had my bird for a few months now.

I really need some help though. My cockatiel adapted very well to my home because she already knew and trusted me because i visited her a lot in the pet store until i knew we were perfect for each other. well... since she started molting she will be very sweet one second rubbing faces with me and she she will hiss and bite my ear really hard. i don't punish her. i just put her on her cage and walk away from the situation. We haven't quite gotten to the petting part she doesn't really like to be touched unless with with your cheek. I need help! i don't know what to do to help her! she wont let me up her! please help i want us both to be happy because i love her so much.<br />Thank you <br />Miranda<br />Please contact me by email if you would i wont spam you miranda.carter3894@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136258725250007953noreply@blogger.com
