Re: Is my cockatiel healthy

Re: Naked baby
Although taking him to a Certified Avian Vet is her best way to find answers, it's possible that he was plucked by his parents while still in the nest.

Re: Hand Raised Turquoisine Parakeet
I don't see how they would really be any different than any other similar grass keet. I've seen and interacted with hand raised bourkes and scarlet chested parakeets that were sweet. Turquoisine are...

Birds do yawn just like we do, but from the way you describe it, it sounds more like he was adjusting his crop. As long as it's not a constant thing he's doing and only an occasional behavior, it is...
