Why is our male cockatiel so possesive over a cardboard box?
Our male cockatiel is about 9 yrs. old and he loves to explore in dark places. I took a 8 x 8 cardboard box and cut a hole in it and placed it on the floor. When I take him out to play and run around he has become so possessive over this box. He attacks you and screams if you come near it. He loves to go into and just pecks away at the cardboard and will come out in his own good time but refuses to allow anyone around it. He is an only bird, there is no mate. Are we confusing him into thinking this is a nest?

I need somebody to love me!?
Would you marry me if I had eagle claws? I only have one good tooth. I have to keep it in my pocket in a napkin so it don’t get chipped. My left leg has a half peg in it. My hair looks like I got a birds nest in it. I live in a cardboard box under a bridge. I just need love. Who is willing to marry me and where do you want to do this?
Did I mention I also have a glass eye?
No I don’t have electricity. I had to rig some stuff up. I’m really smart. Nobody just doesn’t like me. I don’t know why. They said I look like the Crypt Keeper!
Question about my Baby Bird?
I’ve been keeping some baby starlings after they fell out of the nest after a big storm we had. I’ve been keeping them in a cardboard box and they’ve been thriving with the mashed dog food and earthworms I’ve been feeding them. I’ve been trying to teach them to eat by themselves and one of the birds accidentally ate a piece of cardboard. (The shavings I was using to line the bottom of the box was the tan crumpled cardboard pieces that are commonly used for guinea pigs…) It’s not stuck in his throat, he swallowed the whole thing. I’m really worried… Is he going to be okay? Will he poop it out? They’ve all be pooping less frequently now that I think about it… (Even though I’ve been feeding them more frequently) I found them three weeks ago. Now they are fully feathered and starting to fly. Please tell me what you think about him being able to poop out the piece of cardboard. Thank you.
He cannot go free yet. I’m still trying to teach him how to feed himself and he ate a piece of cardboard instead of eating the worm!
I tried calling vets and wildlife rehabbers when I first found the birds as per the advice of my husband. The rehabbers in my area are individuals that don’t readily take birds, the rehab center doesn’t take wildlife West of Manorville and the vets offices don’t “specialize in small or exotic animals”. There is literally no place to bring them…
