One cockatiel...my 7th
Hi everyone, I am baffled. After having 6 cockatiels over many years, I have never seen this behaviour. Birdy is a 6-month-old male and was very aggressive and hormonal. However, the aggression has now gone, but he constantly lies most of the day with both feet raised or in a 'Bum's up' position. He isn't ill but his feet are much higher now, and I've checked everything.Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Thankyou

Other than saying to take him to an avian vet I have no idea.
I have had a number of Cockatiels and none have ever done that.
