Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / June 2005is cockatiel ill?
Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he only does it behind his cage it started at the beginning of may so I took him to the vet ,and they could find nothing wrong with him then he stopped doing it ,until last week when he started again. Is he ill or is it a mating thing , or some behaviour problem which is what the vet seem to think. Any help would be great. Thanks Maybe he is having a problem digesting his seed. What has his diet been consisting of? Food, as in "seed", or table food? > Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he only > does it behind his cage it started at the beginning of may so I took him to > the vet ,and they could find nothing wrong with him then he stopped doing it > ,until last week when he started again.

What has his diet been > consisting of? Food, as in "seed", or table food? "Maybe he is having a problem digesting his seed" He isn't. The vet has already made a diagnosis which was correct IMO. Was the vet an avian vet? Did the vet do any bloodwork? It is **highly** unlikely that it is behavioural. It could be any number of things - bacterial infection - yeast infection.... I would get a second opinion from an avian vet. With regards to mating behaviour, is your tiel being extra lovey to perches and other things????? When he vomits, can he see his reflection in a mirror or window? Or is it just random. > Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he only > does it behind his cage it started at the beginning of may so I took him to > the vet ,and they could find nothing wrong with him then he stopped doing it > ,until last week when he started again.

Thanks Vomit is random,but will make a lot of noise to be fed then be ill.Vet did not seem to know to much so guessing not avian vet just general.Thanks for your help > Was the vet an avian vet?

Read a couple of behavioural books. Why do you imagine that anyone here can make a cyber diagnosis? you have! >> Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he >> only [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > behavioural books. > Why do you imagine that anyone here can make a cyber diagnosis? > Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he only > does it behind his cage it started at the beginning of may so I took him to > the vet ,and they could find nothing wrong with him then he stopped doing it > ,until last week when he started again.

He used to regurgitate all over his foot - like he was feeding it. Used to drive me nuts, so I ended up getting him a mate. He stopped doing it once he had a lady friend ;-) This sounds like a similar scenario... >>Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he only >>does it behind his cage it started at the beginning of may so I took him [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > once he had a lady friend ;-) > This sounds like a similar scenario... My parakeet used to do this all the time too - me thinks he needs a friend, but not sure. Mine does regurgitate over his foot How old was yours when you got him a mate? >> Help my cockatiel has started bring up his food then reeating it , he >> only [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > once he had a lady friend ;-) > This sounds like a similar scenario... > Mine does regurgitate over his foot Yeah than it's most likely a behavioural issue. I would say he wants a mate. Would this be an option for you? I would consider it - he'll be happier and will stop "feeding" his foot....... Do you have a big enough cage for 2 birds? |
