![]() ![]() Not often anymore after the rule's been in place. How often do you find minor injuries on them? Unfortunately when Chicken arrived he decided he would live in the top and Tim lost the plot, things have improved since we've been stepping in when needed, Chicken gets removed from the cage (and from his gf) and put into the travel cage when he's being particularly obnoxious, but since he's only meant to be here short term (and if he doesn't go soon I'm going to find him a new home!) we've not really tried too hard to fix things. It used to be that Tim (Red Wing) was top bird, closely followed by Prince (Princess Parrot) and ruled onesection of the cage, the Tiel's would then live in the bottom end of the cage (cage is L shaped with a roof ontop) and all was happy. One of the Tiel's belongs to my sister, and he is the biggest bully you've ever seen. Our flock of 4 (2x Tiels, Red Wing Parrot and a Princess Parrot) at my parents house have had their pecking order screwed up just over the past few months. Truman is just expressing his place in their flock, and in time Kili should learn that she isn't top anymore and learn to get out of his way. I assume a biotin supplement would be best, the question is if a biotin supplement is made for birds, I've only ever seem them for horses for hooves and hair.Īs for the fighting, I would say that they may not learn to get along, but Kili may learn to run quicker. I'd also be interested if your vet could recommend some kind of supplement to promote her beak growth to help grow out the puncture wound as quick as possible. There's a saying 'no hoof no horse', I reckon there should be one that says 'no beak no bird'. And I'm inclined to agree with Entranced, beaks are made of the same thing as nails/hair/hooves right? And I can only imagine they grow in a very similar way, so it's very much a part of my birds bodies that is high on my priorities list. I would definitely be visiting the vet ASAP, it's such a vital part of her body.

If you talk to one, the other one gets jealous and attacks it's mate. ![]() fMany breeder pairs of birds do this too. ![]() I have a female senegal who will attack another bird, if I just talk to it. I have never had a cape parrot, but if they both want to be with you and they just tolerate one another now, the fighting will continue or get worse. Senegals can be VERY jealous of thier loved one. Truman is getting older/more mature and no doubt your senegal is jealous of you anyways. If your two birds aren't particularly fond of eachother now, it probably will only get worse. How often do you find minor injuries on them? Is it a reality that they are going to get hurt like this from time to time or is it happening disproportionately too much with mine? Thanks. So the main reason I am posting is to find out how bad this is, does this heel normally, and has anyone had parrots get injured from fighting and recover? I didn't spot any bleeding and Kili seemed to be pretty normal so I did not rush her to a vet when I discovered this.Īnother thing I'm curious about is for people with parrots who don't get along. Also it's not clear in the picture but a bit of beak is dented inward in that area from the same impact. The hole is pretty big (especially compared to her size). It's possible that she was asking for it and bothering Truman and he did that. I didn't notice any fighting today but you never know. Yesterday the aggression began and I found some dry blood on Truman's toe but no substantial harm. I leave the two of them in there all day long and lately it seemed like they were getting along better. ![]() The other time could have been while she was in the aviary with Truman. It's probably the crash that got me inspecting her more than anything. However, there wasn't any blood and she seemed fine at that time. I noticed the hole first after she crashed into a chain link fence at the park today. Somehow Kili got her beak top punctured today near the cere. ![]()
