One of our two cockatiels passed today.
We have had a pair of males for 14 years and they were 4-6 years old when we got them.
They have been together all for their lives.
My concern is the surviving one.
Any words of wisdom?

My Cockatiel, Woody, turned 25 this year.
Is that good for a cockatiel and why do you think he is still going strong?

It seems to me that the PrevuePet Cockatiel Nest Box, like all the other nest boxes, has the opening for the bird located too high.
When the bird is inside it has to do a standing jump of about 5 inches to get out, in fact, I can’t quite imagine how the bird manages to get out.

Can anyone tell me why my cockatiel won’t eat sunflower seeds when it is in the food?
There is always a lot of waste. (more…)
Why is it so important to understand the differences between bird species?
I’m not ashamed to say we get more deliveries from Amazon (like most Americans) then we care to talk about.
This week a new Amazon driver “Patrick” handed off an envelope then said “I’ve never been here before – this place looks cool.”
I have 2 questions.
I have a cockatiel that a friend gave to me.
When I first got it, there were clearly dark bars on the underside of the tail feathers.

Hi. First of all, thank you much for all of your valuable information.
It is greatly appreciated.
RE: Do You Think That Birds Are Unhappy in a Bird Cage?
I have had a total of three birds: a cockatiel, a quaker parakeet, and a Senegal parrot since 1990.
Hi, Mitch and the wonderful people at Windy City Parrot!
Can you advise me about lighting for my six-month-old female cockatiel?
I have been reading your blog posts about the importance of lighting, and I want to get it right for her.
We have a 2-month-old cockatiel and was told to limit his time out of the cage.
15 mins in the morning and 15 mins at night.
For at least 2 weeks.
Curious as to why this is so important?
LL (G2MomPerson) asks
Is there a smaller micro-chip available for smaller birds like a Goffins Cockatoo or Cocktail?
I asked my avian vet & she wasn’t aware of a smaller chip for smaller birds/animals.
If there is a smaller chip, what is it called & who makes it?
