• My bird is unusually cheerful - could he be sick?!

  Posted on 2009/09/16 by Lisa

  My cockatiel is about 9 years old. Lately (past 2 or 3 days) he's been unusually happy and excessively friendly. This is very unusual behaviour for him and I'm wondering - could he be sick? He usually doesn't enjoy human contact and is very quiet and keeps to himself. Now he's very happy, making lots of noise and moving all over the place. This is very plesant, but it's so out of character I'm worried about him. Any thoughts?

• Whats wrong with my canary?

  Posted on 2009/09/16 by User

  My Canary has been making strange Clucking and squeaking sounds since yesterday, I recently got him back from my Ex-boyfriend and I don't think he looked after him properly. When he came to live with me he had a bald spot on the nape of his neck and two weeks on he started making the sounds I mentioned and also puffing himself up more than usual and also breathing faster - he just doesn't seem himself at times, more inactive. I took him to the vet after I heard the sounds and she treated him for mites and worms. He also seems to have gone through a moult - it’s starting to get cold here. Should I be concerned about that too? Thank you, Eve (Durham, England)

• lovebird laying eggs?

  Posted on 2009/08/18 by User

  My lovebird has laid eggs before, and I removed the first one and she laid a second one and then stopped. Now she is about to lay eggs again, any day now. I have been reading about what to do with the eggs and some say to leave the eggs in the cage and others say to take it out, like I did before. My question is: When My lovie lays eggs, should I take them out or leave in them for her to sit on until she abandons them? thanks in advance for your help!
