I used to have 2 little parakeets. A wild one and a blue one,and they were un-tamable. One day my dad took me to get a third one and theres a small extra bird room. So every time i went to buy supplies for my parakeets i looked in the bird room just to look at the sweet little finches then one day... I went into the bird room and I saw the most cutest cockatiel ever. it sort of wanted me! Something inside me was saying "Buy it! Beg your dad,ask him!" so I asked. I knew it wouldn't work because the bird was $130 but the response I got was amazing. He said if I gave back my two parakeets,he would buy me the cockatiel. I gave them to an animal shelter,I cried because I have never let go of my pets before. So I gave them back and the next day my dad took me to buy the cockatiel. It was a great choice because it steps on my finger! My parakeets would never do that. Problem is,it has kinda sharp claws so i can only hold it with a fluffy glove. So basically it was love at first sight. I don't know if she is male or female,I have no clue when she was born,but I just made it that she was 1. I don't really want my poor little birdie to have a blood test done! She's cute right? It's a really long story,I know and this is my first time owning a bird. Any tips on medical for future reference would be great thanks. I'm only 9 years old. I know a lot about birds,but still I bet there's LOTS more to know!!. |

HI! Here's a story about Pogo! Please listen to Pogo's story in hopes that you will learn some lifesaving info. One day, Pogo was sitting on top of his cage. He was sitting up there on the door, and we thought it was so cute he could sit up there for a while. Well, around 5 minutes later, we saw that he had chewed off a piece of metal that holds the top together. We were worried, but we would have never DREAMED it was LEAD of all things! We started giving him bird charcoal, Ornabac, peanut butter, peanuts, and lots of calcium to try to get the lead to pass, because we heard that lead poisoning can be treated at home if the bird didn't eat much. A few days later I came home from a game and Pogo was falling off his perch. He was quickly going downhill. We rushed him to the only avian vet in the area (it was lucky that she was even in her office at 11:00 pm) and he was started on shots. We gave him 3 a day for 8 days and he also had to eat some other medicine. He had to be hand fed because he just didn't have the strength to eat pellets. He has almost fully recovered, but now his feet are curled up and he can't perch very well (he just balances). Sometimes he has occasional seizures, and we keep shots on hand just in case. PLEASE don't underestimate the power of lead or zinc, and if any bird gets poisoned, take them to the vet immediately! Curing them at home DOES NOT WORK! Please listen to this. Thanks and birdy kisses from POGO! (I know you wanted some tips, and I hope this helps!)Come visit me, Cutie, Yoshi, Tiny & Pogo.

Hello there at first i wanna welcome you to the birdchannel,it was so nice of daddy to get you the little cockatiel and its sad,that you had give away your parakeets,but hopefully they will find a nice great home.about the pookie nails,go to a birdstore and let clip them,same with the wings,they do it in every birdstore,so you would not need gloves to hold your bird and you could get him or her a sandyperch for the cage.if you have any question,just go ahead and ask,mommy would like to help you to get to know more about birds.hit the votie thingy for you.Bly and the star wars gang and mommy TinaCome visit me, PADME"GUS IS MY FUTURE HUSBAND", Leia"I Like Tiki", BOBA, Bly,Commander Bly"I'M A BOY", YODA"FLY FREE BUDDY& ANAKIN,WE' LL MISS YOU", Jango & JABBA R.I.P. 4/20/06 - 11/4/09.

Here's a Vote for my new BBFF! Hello buddy. It's sunshine, sparkle, and snowy. During our latest fly time, our mama was yelling at us for chewing on the curtains. Whoops! I guess they're not food.

Anyway, here's a vote and LOFBH (lots of feathery bird hugs)!Come visit me, In memory of Caramel-Brownie, Sunshine~R.I.P. Baby, Snowy~ R.I.P. Princess & Sparkle.
