I’ve been doing my links like: [/c/cockatiel](https://lemmy.world/c/cockatiel) No idea if it works or not.

There’s a community here for parrots and one for cockatiels specifically! I’ve added a link to Backyard Chickens to the sidebar of the parrots community. 🙂

A lot of the psittacine medical knowledge base is actually from poultry research. They’re surprisingly similar anatomically!

One big difference is that hens lay eggs every day, that still blows my mind. A parrot risks death if they lay more than twice a year because they can’t recover enough dietary calcium quickly enough.

I have parrots which are the same as chickens but more manipulative. Subscribing.
