The issues are I can barely get her to eat and...

    Sudden Loss - Trying to figure out cause

    I am here to report back from over a year ago on our new cockatiel death after a few weeks in our home. We ended up having a necropsy done because we were so freaked out about it and didn't want to make the same mistake going forward. What we learned was that the bird starved to death. The bird...

    Gavage feeding?

    My quaker rather suddenly developed several behavioral issues last week which had me concerned about a health issue.
