the name of a good first-time bird. I'd rather have a larger bird over a parakeet or something like that

My friend has one of these delightful people, and he is always tugging the feathers out of his breast, to a degree where his chest is totally bald. I have suggested many times that she take him to the vet as he probably has mites, but she says he cant have as he hasnt been in contact with other birds.....what else could it be, and how do I persuade her to get help for him??? He is very loved, and played with, and has flight time out of his cage, which is a large one, and he eats fruit and parrot food, and has clean water.

Pebbles will go days without making a noise. Then out of no where she will make loud screaming noises mix with a few normal sounding "chirps." She will also flap her wings like she is flying in the cage...I don't know what in the world she is doing because if she wants to fly her cage door is always open when I'm home. I also give her treats and lots of toys but I'm wondering if any other cockatiels seem perfectly content living in their cage? I know this seems like a lot of questions!
NOTE: I have only had pebbles for about 4 months. Her previous owner was elderly and passed away. I'm not sure of Pebbles age. She will hiss and not let anyone touch her.

I use to have two parakeets but then I gave them to my grandma, because my mom said that they were too messy. My grandma has had them for about two years now and they are very spoil. She always lets them out of their cage to fly around then when they are done they fly right back into their cage, but everytime my brothers and I go to her house the birds start flying really fast past our face. I swear I nearly felt one of their wings touch my nose. I noticed that they do this especially when my grandma hugs me cause I am thirteen and still my grandma's baby. Do you think they act this way cause they are jealous?

Sometimes he will just start doing this for no reason...why? Also when they squak over and over...what they are doing? Are they happy, mad? sad?

We don't know it's gender so it needs to be something that would be suitable for either/or.

How come my birds were silent for the past 2 days since I had them.
They were doing nothing just sitting there except once yesterday.
I put on some rock music and they started flying around crazily and hopping wildly.
I thought it was loud music that upset them.
But today, someone thought it was a good idea to wrap some sandpaper around the perch instead of buying the official branches that trim their feet.
so he grabbed the perch
that the birds were sitting on!
and the cage tipped to the side from the chair it was on(we didnt buy a stand)
and the paper towel roll toy fell on one(we didnt buy much of any real toys)
and of course the birds hopped around wildly
After he replaced the branch the 2 birds started chirping wildly and screeching and flying around the used $20 cage.
yesterday the parakeets like to go on my finger
now they run away from it
And screech loudly and go crazy every now and then
Is sandpaper a good idea?
Why are they screeching so much?
What do I do?

My Aunt has a fourteen/fiffteen year old Cockatoo, I think it's a sulfer-crested. Anyway, sometimes, I'll walk past her cage, or my father will and she will lunge at us for no reason, and we've all been attacked on more than one occasion.
Also, she'll scream, so it can be heard blocks away, and refuse to stop.

Is there anything I can do?

We had a cockatiel when I was a young girl. But, haven't had one since. My husband and I just got one today. At first he would try and bite us. But he seemed to have calmed down and he sits on my shoulder, allows me to rub my face against his body, etc. When I try to put him down he doesn't want to go. Is he just being calm like this because he is scared? Or is he really sweet like this. the other bird that was with him at the shop was very aggressive. So, i am a bit surprised.

I'm very scared that they will bite, although it doesn't hurt that badly. The owner also said that the new bird doesn't know how to be held by someone, and always tries to flies away when I look at them. The birds' wings have been clipped, and cannot fly. Please help!

I have read on a couple different sites that you should feed your cockatiel parents the hand feeding formula while they are feeding their babies.

I have not yet started this but was curious if anyone else feeds their parents the formula.

Out of a clutch of 6, 4 have died either in egg or shortly after being hatched. My babies are 1 day old and three days old.

yeah, my tiel likes to go to sleep right by the water bowl, and her tail soaks in the water all night. i noticed this morning that there was a green mold or algea on her tail that was soaked in the bowl. what do i do? cut the tail off? (it's not a blood feather, it's at the end of the tail) or put someting on the tail? if so, what do i need to put on it? or do i just scrub it of, but would that take care of the mold?
note: my tiel is only a few days old since i bouth em, so he's not fully tamed (hell, he's not tame at all, that stubborn little sh**) and his wing was cut badly in a wing clipping accident the pet store made, so how do i help the mold without straining his wing and making it bleed?
thanks in advance

My cockateil is 4yrs old (only bird) and we've just bought her a nesting box. In the last couple of months my bird has been getting very hissy and (apparently) is flying at people during the day. She has free range of the house and lives in an open pen. Does anyone else have problems with their 4yr olds ? Is this all normal?
