11 week old young cockatiel

Question

i've got a cockatiel and she is 11 weeks old i just want to know if there is anything i need to do since she is so young. we also have a 4 year old conure so should we keep the cages close? the cockatiel feeds herself so is there anything I'm missing out? also the cockatiels poo has a lot of white in it is that normal?

Answer 1

A white portion in the poo is normal. I think is better to put the cages close but no enough as one pet could bite the other through the cage bars. Probably the birds will develop a friendly relationship.

There you can see a full color plate with normal and several abnormal avian depositions with its description and causes. I think there´s nothing wrong with you bird spool, anyway you an check the plate.
