Hiya, Leo is almost 9 months CAG. We have had him for two months only. We taught him to step up and down. He goes in his cage to eat when we say "food time". We talk to him all the time. When I say "I'm just gonna touch your head" he offers his head for a scratch. That happened by it self. Now...

Congo Grey started featherpicking above his tail. [closed/update] His name is Jacob and I've had him since September 2012. A while back, he was over-preening his tummy but it resolved when I introduced a humidifier and gave him stricter covered 12-hour day/night cycles. Aside from that...

Hey, I've been looking for a new bird for such a long time, researching etc and me and my partner decided it would either be an African Grey or an Eclectus. I'm leaning towards an African Grey mainly because I feel Eclectus may be a little too complex and I would hate to get any bird I didn't...
