    I noticed a slightly different smell of his breath but I figured it was the food he ate. You said somewhat sweet or sour? It is a sweeter smell. Not alarming but different. I have an appointments with the avian vet on 15th December.

    Hi Sophie, another great video. Honestly, I think you and Dave have the best bird channel on RUclips, so informative. I have two questions. How do you check the bottom of their feet without hurting them. Second, one of my Cockatiels will sit on my finger and shoulder, give me kisses, etc but he won't let me give him scritches. How do you suggest I check his ears?

    • @BirdNerdSophie
      @BirdNerdSophie  Год назад

      Hi Sharon, thanks for your kind words!
      To check our birds feet, we have taught them to wave so we can see their foot pads. With Louis we have him cling to the bars to look!
      For training to accept scritches, here’s David’s video: ruclips.net/video/CIFRw1qaow4/видео.html

    Hey sophie, just wondering if you think it's normal for my tiel to take naps throughout the day... now that i am at home much more I notice that Cleo takes naps for an hour or 40mins at a time... not sure if this is him being lethargic... but he's active pretty much all the time. he gets 12 hours of sleep a night, so i dont think he's taking a nap because he's not getting enough sleep tonight...
    Let me know if this is a reason to send an email to my vet!

    I just finished watching it! Thanks for the info!
    Fluffy has a patch of bare skin underneath his beak. It has been bare since he was a little baby bird. I'm not very concerned about it but I noticed that fish and chip has feathers under their beak. Does it indicate anything? Since it is directly under his beak I'm sure he didn't pluck it 🤔
    Also, about the keel bone, Fluffy will bite me if I try to touch the area where his keel bone is.... What do I do now?

    • @BirdNerdSophie
      @BirdNerdSophie  3 года назад

      It’s probability fine if it’s been there his whole life!
