    Lots of Sniffling

    My boy keeps (what sounds like) sniffling. He has no nasal discharge, isn't excessively sneezing, and is acting normally. I'm more than likely just paranoid because my girl passed away a week ago, but I thought it would be best to ask if this is normal (I would've called my vet for an opinion...

    Mimicry???

    So, I have a budgie (cricket) and I got her in May. I think she’s a she, but now I’m starting to think she might be a he? Anyway… I believe she is mimicking my cockatiel, Rico.

    got any chop recipes for a picky gremlin?

    Rico is super picky and sensory sensitive but is willing to try new things if it fits his picky wants. can't be too soft, can't be too wet, can't be too red but there should be some because he will be less interested if there isn't any, can't have pomegranate because I am mildly allergic, and...
