adopting

Hi, I lost my precious Ellie on April 17, 2024. She was a 15 year old derbyan parakeet. She never laid an egg in her life and never had prior health issues in all those years. She ate a very balanced diet, was extremely active, and was the most loving, gentle, and calming presence I or anyone...

Hello! I'm very excited to be getting a Conure after wanting one for years :D I've done a ton of research but is there any tips/things I should watch out for as a first time (Conure) owner? The little guy I'm adopting is 4 years old and should be getting him this week :)

Hi all, I have a bird-shaped hole in my heart! I enjoyed having two birds, I have a vacant cage, my strata allows for up to 2 birds, and my rescue has birds that need homes. So I'm going to adopt another bird in the near future! Out of the birds my local rescue has, a few have caught my...

I have a GCC that is about to turn 1. I'm away from the house a lot for school and I'm scared he's getting lonely. Should I wait another year or so or just try now? And, what type of bird should I adopt, if I do get another?

Hello all! I'm struggling to know whether I am able to keep an INR (Mr Wong) I adopted from my tai chi teacher. I was told that Mr Wong is "totally tame", "loved being with people" and "could go outside on your shoulder without flying away" all of which are absolutely not true. His wings are...

Hi, Hopefully I posted this right! Long story short, I potentially might be adopting a male amazon. He's been trying to find a home for a very long time, and no luck. I feel like I would be a good fit for him and he badly needs a home. This would all be done as safely as possible with covid...

Do you think he will like it??? I don't have a calcium block or cuttlebone just yet but I will be buying it once I adopt him! I'm thinking about naming him hohenheim! Such a noble name hahaha.

Hello everyone. I hope you guys are doing very well! For a while now I think I would love to adopt a Galah from a homeschooled Christian family. (I am homeschooled and Christian). Anyways, I think I would trust them but has anyone adopted a parrot from them or know anything about them? Thanks...

My name is Shannon and I adopted an 8 year old RB 5 months ago. Everyone called me crazy for a couple of reasons... #1. I am a first time bird owner. #2. The bird spent the first 8 years of his life in a barn with about 15 other birds. Very little human interaction. ( not tame at all)...

Hey all! I am new to the forum, but definitely not new to parrots! :-) My dad and uncle were parrot lovers so I've grown up with them and I also happened to marry a parrot lover! We currently have a Crimson Bellied Conure who is almost two years old. My favorite species, as well as my "dream...
