My 2 love birds seem to be bored and unhappy quite a bit, i think that they may need some toys to cheer them up? what would you prefer i do and what kind of toys would be best for them?
Some toys or changes to the environment are definitely a great way to help reduce boredom. You can look for toys that are soft or fuzzy to encourage preening and chewing behavior, or toys that can move around such as swings or bendy ladders for exercise. Treats that have to be pecked at are also great enrichment. Just be sure to choose toys that are designed for your bird's size and activity level. If you have a pair, you may also want to add in a nest or some nesting material to encourage building and give them extra enrichment.

I've been doing research before I get my cockatiel and one topic I've seen a lot of controversy on is sanding perches. Both on whether to use one or not and where to use it. If you advised to get one where do you advise me to put it? I saw some peopl
Thanks for reaching out about your cockatiel. There are concerns over sand perches as the abrasiveness can lead to minor dermal trauma, and then possible infection if standing on a perch with feces. Not recommended. Good luck.

My tiels screams and screams when I leave and come home until he goes to bed,nothing I do helps.He seems so stressed. He has another tiel in with him,but I am his bird.What shoutI do?
Cockatiels are extremely vocal birds, so it may just be that Cici is excited and very "talkative". Giving him some fun things to do such as adding in an enriching toy that requires concentration to open or play with, playing soothing music, or even moving him to a quieter location free of other pets and people may help him to settle down some. If he is housed with another bird, there could be competition over perches, food and water dishes which is causing stress, so adding extra in and making sure there is enough room for both birds may help. If he does continue screaming, or seems ill or painful in addition, a vet visit is always a good idea to rule out any pain or underlying health issues.

I had three cockatiels (2 males and a female). Today morning, one of the males (Joy) died. I saw him on the cage floor. He was the mate of the female (Jolly). Though I still have another male (Jim) in the cage, i was wondering if Jolly will be lonely
I think Jim may be enough so you're not overcrowding the cage for now. Birds, like people, can experience grief, so Jolly is likely missing her friend Joy. You are doing the right thing by keeping her company and giving her a little extra love an attention. If she doesn't perk up, or seems lonely, even with your other bird there, adding a new friend may be a consideration, but it may be best to give her some time first.

I rescued my bird Blue about five months ago, I don’t know anything about his past owners, but he doesn’t act playful. He doesn’t let us pet him, and we’ve never seen him play with his toys. Is there maybe something going on?
It's possible Blue wasn't socialized very well or didn't have access to toys, so these are new and scary to him. However, with any behavioral issue, ruling out any potential health issues with your local avian vet first is good to make sure there isn't something underlying behind it. If he checks out healthy, it may be that he just needs more time to get used to being a "normal" bird. If he has a favorite snack he likes, offering it every time you come by, or hiding it in his toys to encourage exploration and play may help. This can take time even with tame birds, so being extra patient with Blue is best. Many birds also like different types of toys, so trying out a variety of things such as mirrors, ladders, swings, toys that can be chewed, ones with bells, feathers, etc may encourage him to find one he likes to play with.
