I have run out of regular cockatiel seeds, and can not get to the store until tomorrow. Will it hurt them if they get the wild seed that I have so much of?

I have a 2 year old Congo Grey. He wont eat and is losing weight. Any suggestions? He is not molting.?
Before you start screaming “Take him to the vet!!” Let me explain that I have an appointment with a vet that specializes in birds and exotics. In fact that is ALL she works with. He goes in at 11:30 tomorrow morning. He has had no changes in his life. I fill his dish and he throws all of his pellets out of his dish. I’ve tried hand feeding him, he picks up the pellet and throws it. Tried fresh fruits & veggies, he throws them too. I’ve even tried his favorite treats and he throws them. His crop is empty, and I havent seen him drink any water either. This has been going on since Friday or Saturday. Any suggestions on things I can try with him?
He has been DNA sexed and is a Male, so the possibility of being eggbound is not an option. I dont know about the organ thing because he is still lovable, and talks just like there is nothing wrong. The only problem is that he is not eating (not sure if he is drinking or not). I am at work, and have him here with me so I can watch him. He still wont eat, gonna try his favorites again.
He does have lots of toys, he has a play gym next to his cage and has free reign between his cage and gym. The cage is 24″D x 30″W x 48″H,
I think I agree that puberty may be a reason, I hope it may only be that. Cross your fingers for me. As far as the lighting, he is in a room that has both natural and artificial lighting. He is in my living room, I work nights so when I’m not working, I am up late into the night and have the lights on. The TV is also on all the time in that room. I also have 2 minpins, 3 rabbits, and a cockatiel in the same room. My cockatiel is a female, and he can see her. She has been wanting to breed, could her behavior be affecting him??? Hadn’t thought about that until just now.
Regarding respiratory system; I never burn candles unless they are white/unscented candles. I dont use air fresheners either, if an odor exists I just clean all the cages. We dont have teflon pans, and I dont smoke — have allergies/asthma myself.
I took him to the vet yesterday. She does not think it is puberty, and he is not dehydrated so he must be drinking. I’ve gotten him to eat a few things, but its a constant process. We sent for bloodwork yesterday and I’m waiting for results. We will go back to the vet in a couple days for an update, and the results of his labwork. If nothing shows up there we will do xrays and go a little deeper. Thanks to all that have answered so far.

Can we move this new bird’s nest without hurting the bird?
We are having electrical problems in our home and less than a 3 days ago it was just and old breaker box. Now a bird has made a nest on top of it and the electrician is due tomorrow! We got close to it and the bird doesn’t move and I fear she’s laying eggs or already has. How and where could we move the nest if the breaker box needs replacing (which it probably does)? There are lots of cats in the neighborhood and we don’t have trees in our yard.
It’s impossible to leave the bird’s nest there. Our electrical problem is a major fire hazard and if it’s not in the breaker box, we’ll leave the nest alone, but diagnostics so far say it IS the breaker box so either the nest gets destroyed or we try to move it responsibly.

I have questions, my baby grey comes home tomorrow? I was told to keep her in her cage the first day. I disag
Also, I was told the she should be in her cage most of the day, 20 min. out in the morn, 20 in the afternoon and a 20 min. before bed. Anymore than that will cause her to have cage issues. Do you believe that? She has a pellet mixture (Zieglers & Higgins pellets) for the day, veggie mix for night. What do you think of the diet? I was told I can give her some fresh veggies and a small piece of fruit each day. In the afternoon she can have a piece of spray millet. This is what she’s been eating. She still gets one syringe of baby food at night. I’d like to get her eating an all organic diet as described in Alicia McWatters, “A Guide to a Naturally Healthy Bird: Nutrition, Feeding, and Natural Healing Methods for Parrots.” Heard any good things about her approach? My baby grey has been off antibiotics since Monday. Should she see an avian Vet before bringing her home or should I give her some time to get acclimated to her new home first? I just want to do the best or her. Thanks
What are your thoughts on this Scriptural verse from the Book of Matthew 6:?
24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What shall we eat?’ or `What shall we drink?’ or `What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day

Hi! Is it possible to breed 2 cockatiles and 2 parakeets in a very large cage?
It’s almost a flight cage. I’m going to get the birds today or tomorrow and I already have the cage. I was going to put the nesting boxes in the far corner. Anways, they should get along right. Thanks for advice.
