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 baby cockatiel is some 4-5 weeks old. Quite recently I've changed the consistency of its formula food. And I'm using Nestlé Baby feeding formula powder called cerelac. It used to eat 2-3 syringes of the runny formula.. Now that I have changed its
Cerelac is a human baby food, and your baby bird should be on a baby bird food so that he is getting the right nutrients to grow. If he's starting to feather, you can start to add in and offer some mashed up or soaked cockatiel feed/seeds to encourage him to eat a little more since he is old enough to start transitioning.

Hi I live is Puerto Rico and cannot find a bird vet my cockatiel was in a box with 2 baby chicken chicks he went in the box by itself and didn't want to come out 2 weeks after that he doesn't want to eat and he just sleeps
Ideally, Pedro should be physically examined by a veterinarian. If an avian vet is not available, see the local veterinarian. He or she can contact an avian specialist by phone or online. Place him in his own cage or remove the chicken chicks. It isn't recommended to keep these two species caged together. Offer a mash made with warm water and a handfeeding formula to get him eating. Unflavored PediaLyte can be given via dropper if he will accept it. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.

My cockatiel seems okay but his droppings are brown and yellow, is there something wrong?
That usually could be dependent to the diet but these signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver) as well. to differentiate the two a clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Hi my cockatiel is not gripping with his left foot and one nail has broken so that he is not whistling . But he is eating and drinking water normally. There is no avian vet near or far from my house. Is there any home remedies that i can apply to cur
Feed an appropriate pelleted diet supplemented with a fortified seed mix. Use perches of different diameters to exercise the feet. A flat perch platform can also be used to make perching easier. A broken nail can be clipped off at the break. Minor bleeding can be controlled with gentle pressure and some plain cornstarch.
