A cockatiel would only do that by accident.

They are going to murder me in my sleep  Has anyone heard the red rump/parakeet help me I'm being killed alarm call, it is quite the sound. No you are not being murdered, you are just trying to wedge yourself in-between wardrobe and wall to avoid the net you silly bird.

Bird addicts post the dumb poo poo you do that's a direct result of being a bird crazy Here's a small one; putting off cutting my nails a bit longer than usual even though I hate them being more than like 1mm long because they're so much better for providing bird scritches Reik posted:What kind of bird is Other way around-Steve Pending is a cockatiel, Ohtori is a Blue throated conure!

EDIT: This post belongs in the birding thread, not the pet birds thread. I'm dumb and clicked the first bird-related thread I found. Sorry. Not so much a pets question, but a bird question. I saw this bird in Istanbul and thought it looked tremendously out of place perched in a tree in continental Europe.  Can anyone help me identify this bird?

So having spent considerable effort and money to get my sister and her cockatiel Boggle from Spain, via my place here in the UK to their new home in Nova Scotia (a story I must get around to typing up at some point) he suddenly fell in on New Year's day. The 'local' avian vet (2+ hours drive away) was able to take swabs and a blood sample. Boggle returned the favour and took a blood sample from the vet. Boggle was put on a 30 day course of antibiotics, and took further blood samples daily directly from the fingats until my sis found a pair of strong leather gloves to wear whilst dosing. The tests came back and showed 1) a serious bacterial infection, which would hopefully be cleared up by the antibiotics and 2) a uric acid count of 1200+ indicating that either the infection had spread to the kidneys or that the kidneys themselves were seriously and incurably diseased. With levels so ridiculously high the vet suspected the latter and such a condition would likely be eventually fatal. Dosing continued, and the gloves got tattered, and they went back to the vet for more tests. Results came back yesterday: Boggle has a (to quote the vet) "miraculous" uric acid count of 212 and a totally clean bill of health. Naturally this is cause for celebration, and the best way to celebrate is a bath, followed by a shower, followed by another bath     He's also apparently decided to pretend he's in a Picasso

That's an Indian ring-neck parakeet. There are very successful flocks of them all over the world, usually in parks in cities where some have escaped from homes or zoos.

It could be an alexandrine, it looks too big for a ringneck imo. The beaks also really chunky for a ring neck and afaik ringnecks dont have colour patches, but the 2 Ive had were both mutations.

I know we've talked about the beak hole being a vaguely creepy parrot feature, but I think the weirdest thing about birds is still the preen gland.

Yeah I looked more into it and I'm 99% sure it's an Alexandrine based on the red patch on his neck. They are basically just ringnecks except bigger and imo prettier. According to google they are named after Alexander the Great cause he bought a tonne of them to the Mediterranean and Europe, so it's either an escaped pet or a descendant of one.

It's been overcast and slightly drizzly all day today. A while ago it started properly raining, which caught Toast's attention (it's been a fairly dry year, though the humidity doesn't know that). He then started flying between the window and the kitchen sink while squeaking insistently at me. Eventually I realised he wanted the tap on so he had a nice little bath on my arm in the sink He has mostly dried off now, except for the top of his head, which remains in a crown/Bart Simpson hairstyle.

Charlie has decided the newest and coolest thing to do is knock the pellet bowl over and spill his food everywhere. I tried weighing it down and he just figured out how to knock it over while hanging off the side of the cage for extra leverage. Dude is 5 years old and still finding amusing ways to gently caress with me.

Oh sure thread pretend you don't do any bird crazy things and that it's just me  Have Inko in a bath  Guess you can't really tell here esp since he's up on the side a bit annoyed at the camera, but it's so deep he was moving around on just the tips of his front toe/s. He even had his wings spread out so he could float around in the middle He showed his annoyance at the camera afterwards too  Aww. Contemplative 'tiel. Great that he's doing fine after his ordeal!

Ugh that was horrible. Putni wouldn't get into his cage on his own tonight, and I had to chase him around with a net for 20 minutes
