Does anyone else’s parrots do crazy preening when they’re in their “crackhead” mood? 😂

My cockatiel’s feet got injured yesterday and I took him to the vet, we are now using analgesic medicine (2drops per day) and cream for his leg. But for the past 16 hours he cannot eat or drink by himself, he has no energy and just sleeps. I started to feed him by syringe (with egg mush etc) and give him water through pipette but i know it is not enough. What should I do?

I just adopted my beautiful baby quaker i’ve had him for about a month he’s now 4 months old i’ve been weening him onto pellets and veggies but he still mainly eats seeds because he’s picky. i was looking online at flight harnesses for quakers and realized my baby boy looks a lot smaller/skinner than the ones i see please help i can’t get his exact weight atm because im moving but im getting worried. he hasn’t been showing any signs of illness or changes in his routines.

I needed somebody to appreciate this with me because 😍😍

Snowflake, on the other hand, freaks out when anything new is added to his cage and is treating this like his own personal 9/11.

I have a cockatiel at home and I just got this Ninja Crispi. This is the only air fryer I could find that is non toxic and doesn’t contain teflon. It did come with ceramic non-stick plates to put inside the glass container when you put the food. But I will not be using those and I will use stainless steel racks instead. Just to make sure it won’t be toxic. I also plan to use it with my bird in a different room. Does anyone else own this ? And it is safe for your bird? Or should I not risk it at all and return it?

Thank You

Hey there, my 46 y/o yellow nape has been chewing her own nails. She has no sign of injury, tons of toys and activities and acts completely normal. Just sometimes likes to chew on her nails and scratch her toes with her beak and leave the weird dead skin flakes on me. She’s a weirdo, but other than that the nail thing doesn’t seem very common and I just want to make sure that this isn’t a possible sign of something more .

Lots of new toys and plenty of treats for the day!

This is Barney. I am told she is a mutation of a yellow naped Amazon. has anyone seen another bird like her? she weighs 480 grams just for scale.

I say parrot, but because his size he's more of a periquete.

I'm from Venezuela, and after the disaster of 2 weeks ago this little guy found us and refused to leave. He's been with us for 3 days, and everything seems to indicate he was a pet before, he's waaaaay too familiar with humans and very gentle even when scared.

He literally flew to my sister's head and refused to leave her, even when her apartment has a windowless window. She took him to our parents' home and he's apparently here to stay, since we haven't found any owner yet. We plan a visit to the vet tomorrow, since we don't know how long he's been lost or how to take care of him properly, but I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some pointers???

I don't know the name in English, but in Spanish he's a "cara sucia" Eupsittula pertinax is the scientific name according to Google.

Don’t mind the hair , today was a lazy day
