Male Cockatiel plucking our other Cockatiels
So....One of our male Cockatiels - Zeke has decided to start pulling feathers out of our other birds. He only does it to his "mate" - and the 3 babies they have (one full grown) the other two are little. Is this an issue that cockatiels have. We have had Cockatiels for 4 years and this just started happening. He is hurting the other birds and I always have to shoo him away. Let me know if this has happened to you! Thanks!

Take him out of the cage and put him in another. He can kill the babies.

Yep take the little plucker out. Or you can move the babies. If they are ready. He is trying to say that he is ready for another clutch and wants the babies gone.

I've moved the baby he was hurting to a glass aquarium (the baby was having some other problems too). What about him plucking his mate??

He will continue to pluck her too, put the baby back with mom and remove him from the situation. If they breed again he will more than likely pluck any future chicks as well.
