Hey ok so i own 2 parakeets. In our house we have 1 cat, 1 dog, and my 2 parakeets so far. Its not alot of pets because so far we have 4 pets. Im 12 years old and very responsible for my age. My brother is paying me $20 everyweek to help my mom clean the house. So im working 5 weeks so i could have $100. Well i know this store where they sell birds and they sell cockatiels for only $35 and im buying mine their. Do you think they are handfed? If not would they still be trained to get used to me? Im 12 years old and i feed my parakeets clean and fresh food & water. I clean their bedding. Give them toys. Let them out of their cage, wash their cage every week so i think i could handle another bird. But im starting school in Auguast and i am caring for 2 parakeets. Dont say im not ready because i am i even made a schedule
6am i will feed my birds fresh food and water.
School 8 am to 2:35 pm
Get home from school like at 3 pm
3pm to 4:30 pm time to spend with cat & dog
4:30 pm to 5:30 cockatiel time

6-7pm more dog & cat time
7-8 clean cockatiel and parakeets cage
8 sleep time for my birds
So im ready. I could by everything for 100 dollors bird 35
food 10-15
cage 30 i got a big parakeet cage for 10 dollars so 30 dollar cage would be huge
toys 20
ect
but when im at school would he get depressed? He’ll be in the same room as my parakeets but different cage

Is my Cockatiel going to DIE?
Category: Cockateil Health Q&A
so yesterday I purchased a handfed baby cockateil from a local petstore that I trust… she said that he is on one hand feeding a day. Im supposed to give him 10 mls of this formula called exact. thats what she uses and im also supposed to leave parakeet food and millet for him. Well today I tried giving him his feeding and he took about 2 mls and quit. He’s been eating his feed and sits over the bowl for hours. He has all his feathers and flys A LOT. I took him back to the petstore to see why he wouldn’t take food from me. The woman who raises him tried to feed him with my formula and said he wasnt hungary.she said that my mixture is the correct consistency. she felt his crop and said that he isnt full but definantly has a lil somthing in there. she also clipped his wings for me because I told her about my mom being paranoyed that he would fly away…She said to try later in the evening,,,, so I tried again at 5 with no luck and then at 9 with no luck! he eats millet and his parakeet food and i can tell because he leaves the shells in his food….. does this mean he is weaned?????? He chirps like a regular bird but sometimes makes his baby noises… I have yet to see him drink water though…
PLEASE HELP ME! I dont want him to die!
ps. he sits on the edge of his dish for hours eating

I have a grey cockatiel who is in a cage with a parakeet and she is going bald, any ideas why?

She has been with the parakeet for about a year now and this is the first time she has lost her feathers on her head. They were there just a few days ago and now she is almost completely bald.
What does my cockatiel need to know when going to a vet?
Category: Cockatiel
Im planning to take my cockatiel to the vet and i was wondering does my cockatiel need to know anything? Because my cockatiel doesnt know how to step up fingers and its really shy (Scared)? So do i have to teach it that for me to take it to the vet? Or the vet has some special skill and will just take the bird out? Because my bird is not tamed. D=
