Cockatiels

if a cockatial is at the bottom of its cage and on its side with its eyes closed then its dead but if its up on a stick or on the side of the cage with its eyes clsed then its just sleeping

Cockatiels can eat honey. They love honey. It may surprise you, but honey is used in many cockatiel treats (to hold seeds together). So, yes, cockatiels are allowed to eat honey - in moderation, though!

male cockatiels have very bold, bright orange cheeks. if you don't notice the spot, it is usually a female

Well That's easy! Just get a Female and Male Cockatoo and put them together and they... should... have a baby and then keep doing that until you have enough boys and girls to breed together.

Simply because their brain can't distinguish between an artificial wall, and their natural habitat ! In the wild, they would cling to vertical rock-faces to keep away from predators. A brick wall is simply an artificial 'cliff' !

Lets face it at one point your bird is going to bite you or someone Else can't do some trick that makes you bird stop biting but here is some advice: First of all don't back down if you trying to get them out of there cage, yes i know bites hurt but if you back down they this as a win over you. So grab a towel to restrain them.

Lean to read the singes that you bird is going to bite, shaking there tail feathers, pupil's dilating, bowing of the head. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend housing them together. Their needs are not the same and they are too different otherwise to be housed together. Not to mention there have been cases of birds of the same species attacking one another so it is not wise to have different species together.

A cage, a plastic box, terrarium, aquarium or a big petbox.

Just make sure it's legal. You can see if your cage is legal here:

They will try around 3-5 weeks. Ours were right around four weeks when they started. Be careful though, they will fly into walls and windows, keep the toilet closed and the sink empty. At 8 weeks they are still very klutzy.

The bird does not like being handled, it is biting you so that you will let go. Wear a leather glove when you handle the bird and do it often, he will get more used to being handled and get no satisfaction from biting you as it will not hurt and make you put him down. Or get a dog.

Unless you feed the cockatoo with a specific amount of bird seed, then three times a day should be perfectly fine.

If you do not feed the cockatoo with a specific amount of bird seed, keep his bowl or plate full of seed for him/her to eat from.

They are about 3.5 gigagrams. which is about 100 pounds.

Your urine can help you determine if you are sick or not for instance if your urine is a murky cloudy color that may mean that you have an infection. Or a sore throat may indicate that you have strep but you have to get tested before you make assumptions. Many times i have thought i had strep when it was just a simple sore throat!

You don't in the conventional sense - you provide a shallow (half an inch to an inch) bowl of 10 or more inches across, of water, and let the bird bath, or not. If the bird is un-used to having a bath provided, it can take ages (days and weeks) for them to work-out what it is there for. You can also VERY LIGHTLY, mist them from a hand-held mister/spray as used to mist house-plants - this also encourages them to preen.

I hope you have a large cage. Cockatoos need a lot of room. Will the budgies have clipped wings? Fluttering about can be annoying to some larger birds. It has been my experience that all birds can get along, but it is dependent on personalities. Please don't put smaller birds in with larger birds until you are certain they like each other. Some birds won't tolerate any other birds, period.

It helps, indoor birds can hurt themselves trying to fly around indoors, and it helps you control him.

You can kiss a lovebird anywhere! It depends on the bird whether it wants to be kissed. I kiss mine on their cheeks, their beaks, and their chests. If the bird trusts you it wont mind. If the bird is afraid or bites then you may want to take small steps from simply handling them and working your way up to kissing them.

it should not be fed:

avacado

chocolate

milk products

plants from the garden

for more go on google and search this question and there is a website biginin with a www.avi buti can't remember the rest.

a conures diet should be 20% fruit and fresh vedgatables.

grapes

apple

pear

pomegramet

leafy greens

there are so many foods you and you bird can eat

such as bread, potatoes fruit and veg

peanuts are a treat

birds that are on a seed diet live shorter lives be sure to include lots of nutritious food and fresh water.

never give your bird alcohol

orange juice is ok but don't give it too much and remember most manufactures ad harm full additives .give fresh water everyday

the better diet your bird gets the tamer,kinder,happier and brighter your bird will be.

you bird should be happy and alert.

always entertain your bird or it will become less tame .

xx good luck

Yes you could but they might not always get on. I have got a cockatiel. I did have another one but she died. :( Anyways , when I put my new cockatiel, Polo, in the cage the other cockatiel Biddy just hissed a bit and went to the other end of the cage. The sometimes used to fight but not dangerous fighting. Just bickering at each other. If they do start fighting and it could lead to... well, you know what I mean, you should move one out of the cage for a bit and maybe put them in another cage. Put the cages next to each other so they slowly get used to each other. That's what I did. Now Polo is lonely because Biddy died :( . anyways, hope that helped! xxx
