Zucchini sometimes seems like he is bored And he want to play with But this is the 1st month at my home and he’s not comfortable 100% yet so i am scared to let him go out the cage and can’t return him in So how can i make him always happy and not b
thanks for reaching out about Zucchini. Boredom is common in pet birds. In the wild, they tend to spend 70-80% of their day foraging for food, but we place it all in a bowl. So hiding food around, using foraging toys will help to occupy this little brain. Good luck.

Hi! If i give my cockatiel millet spray as treat, then what can i hive him for normal foods when he is hungry and in his cage? Thanks for answears
Millet spray makes a great addition to Cheeko's diet, but the main food in the cage should be a good quality seed mix for cockatiels/parakeets. This will contain many different types of seed in a balance to provide appropriate nutrition. I would have this and clean water available at all times. Small pieces of fruit can also be used as treats, and cuttlefish can make good toys to help with calcium balance.

My cockatiel keeps walking back and forth around the cage and out of no where got really aggressive. Not sure what’s happening and I’m getting kind of worried what can I do to help it.
What you can do really depends on what the cause is, so trying to find the cause is best. If you suspect illness, seeking out a vet appointment is a good first step to rule out any health issues or pain that can cause behavioral changes. Sometimes, aggression can be caused by boredom, stress or even an urge to mate. Adding in enriching toys or allowing Coco to explore his environment may help with boredom and keep him happier and occupied. Moving his cage to someplace quieter or without harassment by other pets and people can help reduce stress in addition to adding some fun toys or treats to play with. If he is trying to mate, sometimes changing the daylight hours and decrease protein amount in the diet can help, as well as distraction with interactive toys/ignoring/avoiding the behavior. If he does seem stressed and lash out, giving him a chance to calm down and relax before interacting again may also help.

Hello I am Mohit, and I am the owner of a two cocktails. But the thing I want to say is I lost one of my bird. She flew away recently. And I am very much worried about her cause there are no rescue team active in our city. And I don't know what to do
I'm sorry to hear that one of your birds has flown away. If you have a second cage, you can place it in the yard where she flew off and put some food and water in it, as some birds will come back to eat and drink If you catch her inside, you can then close the door and bring her back in. If you do manage to catch her, bringing her to a vet to make sure she didn't get injured or ill while out and about is a good idea.
