They look like something my 'tiels would love to get their beaks into. But
are they safe? Any thoughts, good people?

We have them in several of our trees - pine trees. Yes, they will like them but you have to boil them and then bake them in the oven for 20 mins at 220 degrees F. You can also roll them in peanut butter and seed mixture as a treat. >> Stay informed about: Pine cones

I would really want to see Piper's reaction when I give it to him. Have you tried it yet? >> Stay informed about: Pine cones

So basically sterilize them & dry them to get rid of pests and bugs then do whatever you like with them?

It seems Piper has been losing A LOT of his tail feathers lately. Me being paranoid anyway, I always look for blood in the tips of the tail feathers that he loses. Fortunately, no blood. Tell me your 'tiel is ok? >> Stay informed about: Pine cones

Eye Problems-Avian vet not helping - Hello all bird lovers.My cockatiel has had a problem,primarily in one eye. The avian vet has prescribed eye drops(neomycin and polymyxin B sulphates and dexamethasone). It just seems to make the eye worse,so I am at a loss as to what to do. Years..

Perches - Some time ago, somebody mentioned that they have real tree branches in their tiel's cage. Do you recommend any particular type of tree branch?

Ear opening? - My bird seems to have lost some feathers covering what I hope is his ear opening. My wife told me he had a bad crash a couple of days ago. Could this be the cause? Thanks, Chas

incubating - Lost my female cockatiel and she has 6 eggs...what temp and how much humidity do I need to incubate these eggs! The male is sitting on them but seems to be losing interest!

Cages - I have had a cage for several years that was gold-colored metal, but now much of the gold is worn off. Is this bad for the birds, and what type of material is best for a new cage? Thanks
