Thank you. Unfortunately I phoned the only other vet (within a 30 mile radius) and they were honest enough to admit that they wouldn't know where to begin examaning a bird, and would probably only do the same as the first vet and prescribe a general antibiotic to put in the water. Poor little mite i...

I have a Indian Ringneck Parakeet and we have had him for approx 2 months. From day one he has never behaved like a 'normal' parrot. He is disinterested. He does not play with his toys, shred his paper or even show an interest in food. We put it down to him being lonely (previously he was with his p...

Yes hopefully things are improving...he really wants to come out though.....He is trying to force his head through the bars..LOL He is still clambering round the cage trying to find a way out and in doing so is rubbing more feathers from his head (just above his beak). He is getting balder by the da...

Hi He seems to be eating a little more. We 'caught' him eating his seed when he thought we were not looking ...LOL - We were in the garden looking through the window at him in 'secret'...LOL He also ate a peanut and a grape as well as his usual cube of apple. It still doesn't seem a lot, but a littl...

Couple more pics to follow....

If this works then the pic below shows where he has rubbed away his feathers

Is he with your other birds in the cage or is he alone? Better if he was alone but was able to watch how the other birds interact with you from a far. Yes I wouldnt let him out either. Not just yet. Going in circles is the way the rid off extra energy. How big is the cage anyway? Dont stare at him ...

Thanks smallworld I actually asked the breeder for some of the food that they were feeding him so as not to change his diet as well as everything else! It seems like a basic cockatiel mix to which I have added a few raisins to try and tempt him. I would say that he eats a small cube of apple (maybe ...

Hi Well I eventually (after months of searching) got my IRN "Casper". I was told he was hand reared, tame. will sit on your shoulder, talks etc...and that he was 4 months old. Some of this does not ring true although I realise it is early days (he has been here 3 days). There has obviously...
