Why is my cockatiel sitting at the bottom of the cage

A cockatiel may occasionally explore the cage floor, but repeatedly sitting there, especially while fluffed up, weak, inactive, or unwilling to perch, can indicate illness or injury. Changes in appetite, droppings, balance, or breathing should also be taken seriously. Because birds often hide illness, persistent floor sitting deserves prompt attention from an avian veterinarian.

What are common cockatiel health problems

Common concerns include respiratory illness, nutritional deficiencies, injuries, parasites, chronic egg laying, egg binding, feather problems, and fatty liver disease. A balanced diet, clean housing, safe air quality, exercise, and regular veterinary care can help reduce many preventable problems.

Why does my cockatiel bob its head

Head bobbing can be normal during excitement, courtship, communication, or feeding behavior. However, repetitive movements accompanied by breathing difficulty, weakness, or unusual behavior should be checked by a veterinarian.
