Cassis laid another egg…except the silly cockatiel must have been sitting on the perch when she let it drop and the poor egg is broken :( And the two of them were staring at it, tweeting softly and when I went over to the cage sort of looked at me as if to say “how did that happen?”…She must have laid it just minutes before I checked, annoyingly I’ ( Read more... )

Cassis laid an egg yesterday….I had no idea she was even ‘pregnant’….I joked about her looking fatter but thought she was just fluffing up cos then she’d look normal again….I thought Scrawny was infertile LOL They’ve been mating for ages, and ignored the nests I’d put in for them, and with no eggs on the horizon for months, I took it out and just ( Read more... )

For the past month or so I've noticed him trembling a helluva lot when perched...now they do tremble but not literally shaking like he was and then his feathers started turning from grey to yellow.

Well first Baby. He's been getting better lately, his fits aren't lasting as long and are a lot less frequent. He has more control over them and they aren't scaring him as much. However he still sleeps a lot, shakes most of the time (like constant trembling)and has lost weight but I think that's with eating less in the first few days of the fits. ( Read more... )

Baby seems to be much better lately. Yesterday he had a fit in the morning but instead of waiting it out on the floor, he decided that directly after the fit to get on his perch and sat there swaying, so I had to put my hand in the cage to hold him steady. Then mum found some foam so we decided to put that in the cage so if he falls he has a safe ( Read more... )
