alexandrine

Hi fellow bird lovers, I have a beautiful grey Indian Ringneck (Alfonso) who turned 1 on November 21st. We're quite certain he's a male as I've seen him. doing what looks like a mating dance with some of his toys but he hasn't developed his ring yet. We brought home a beautiful 4 month old...

Just to clarify: no, this is not my pet alex. But for a while now I've seen on rare occasion an alexandrine, first sighting was about year ago. Just saw him again this morning before he flew off, and it's not a native bird. I've attached an image of the bird from when my sister spotted it on the...

I need some advice on teaching my Alexandrine to step up. He's 4 months old and I brought him home 1 month ago, his gender is unknown (I just use he/him for him, becuse why not). He was raised by his parents so he was wild and fearful when arrived. By now, he's a lovely, active, playful...

I currently have a female Indian ringneck who I’ve been working with for five years. She chose my dad as her mate, but she knows I’m her caregiver. I have not lived with my parents in a while, and I’ve been living with my partner for a while. I have done so much research and gone through phases...

So, I’ve been thinking about getting an Alexandrine, but I can’t find anywhere reputable that sells them near me. Does anybody know any places I could get one? I live in southeast Texas and would be willing to drive a few hours or get it shipped, whatever works best. I just want to make sure...

Hi everyone, I’m sure some of you have seen posts I’ve made about many parrot species as im researching all my options! I’ve come to the forums today to get some opinions about my compatibility with a couple species These are: African greys (timneh mostly) Eclectus Amazons Hahns macaws Meyers...

Hi so I've had my Alex for a few years now and last year we decided to get her a male. This is the first time she's laid eggs since we've gotten her. When they hatch I'd like to hand raise them, are there any good websites for advice? Also what will I need to buy to prepare for them? Thanks :)

My alexandrine worries me. I read some posts on this forum about birds mimicking their owners sneezes and other sounds, but I'm still not sure what to make of this. Sometimes (not regularly, he can go weeks without doing this) he'll make this snorting sound. He sometimes even lifts his head up...

Hi, My alexandrine parrot laid an egg last night (she is the only bird we have). It's the first time she has done this and we've had her for nearly 2 years. I have heard that you should leave the egg in the cage for her, otherwise she might lay more eggs. Is this true? Thanks Cody

Hello, I have started target training my baby Coco (unsure of sex), a parent raised Alex and I have a few questions regarding it. She is doing great at it, she follows the target around the cage as well as around the outside of the cage (not flying towards it yet). So for the last few weeks I...

Hi, I’ve had a pet Alexandrine parrot for just under a year now and we have had a good bond. I have been able to pick her up, play with her, clean her cage with no problems. However, we recently just got back from a 3 week holiday, so the bird stayed at a family members place. Since having her...

Hi guys, I am a frequent reader of parrot forums and finally decided to make an account today. The reason for this post is that I want opinions on Macaws as I am looking to purchase/Adopt a Blue and Gold macaw. First, I will outline my experience with birds. As of now I only have one (very...

Hi all! I'm new to this forum after being a lurker for quite some time. I acquired my 3 year old female Alexandrine named Rio a little over 3 months now after her owner couldn't cope with her. Unfortunately I know very little about her past (other than being passed around due to "she doesn't...

Hi there, Our Alex, Rio managed to escape (neighbours kid accidentally let it out), he was out for 11 days and then we received a call to say he’d been spotted nearby. Before he escaped he was tame, talked and and was always happy. Since returning (2 days ago) he has been silent, not even a...

Hey guys, I need some advice. A friend of mine asked me if I would take care of her Alexandrine Parakeet, Marley. The bird is a 3-year-old feather-plucker. My friend rescued Marley from a family that kept her in a tiny budgie cage on a diet of sunflower seeds. That's when she began plucking her...

Hi all :) I am excited to join the community and learn as much as I can. I have had my 4 month old alexandrine for two weeks now and already love him to bits. I got him from a fantastic breeder who hand-raised him and gave him a very loving start to life. At this stage, he knows how to step...

Hi there... We have a much-loved Alexandrine parrot, Ringo. He is almost 5yo, lives in his cage most of the time but comes out for play & flying time around the house regularly. At the moment we are on the waiting list for a dog. We've decided to get a pup rather than adopt an adult dog as I...

Hi, from Carole & Lee, we're new bees here and owners of 4.5 month old Alexandrine Parrot. We're going to be a barking ear around here for a while as we learn what we can from others here with more experience than we have. We are just returning from an exotic bird exhibition in Chattanooga, TN...

Alexandrine Young Parrot losing feathers Hi, I have 2 beautiful Alexandrines. The youngest, who is about 4 and a half months now is going through her first moult (we think) She is looking like she is missing many feathers around her head and neck and is sensitive to touch. I can see new...

Baby Alex 4 weeks

I just got a parrot. Don't know whether or not it's an IRN or an Alexandrine. I got it from a pet shop and the pet shop got it from a private breeder that hand-fed the parrot. It is very tame and I could pet it the first time I saw it in the pet shop. The people said it's about 4-5 months old...

Hey Guys - I have an Alex and he is 3 on Saturday 18/7/15. He has just started this new thing where he will regurgitate on 2 of his perches/ toys. He will get caught up in what he is doing and will do it for what feels like forever... But when I catch him I distract him and get him away from it...

I have a one year old Alexandrine, I've had him since 8 weeks old. Ever since he was about 4 months old, he started doing this thing were he climbs on my(or others) heads and ruffles his feathers, puffs ups, wags his tail, climbs all around, grabs strands of hair and chucks them about, and kind...

Hey everybody Just a quick question. Recently i have been noticing that Echos feet are getting extremely warm. He would be sitting on my shoulder or leg and and suddenly i just feel his feet which are pretty warm to the point that i can feel them through my shirt and pants. I've been...

G'day fellow bird owners I am at a loss... My gorgeous alexandrine, Belle has become progressively more moody towards me and any other human that even walks to her cage. Before you post suggestions take this into account, please: I have done prior research on why she could be pissed off. 1-I...

I've had an alexandrine parrot for 3 months and lately he was biting his padlock, meaning he wanted to go out, so I decided to open his cage today for the first time. Since he was very curious he climbed out on his cage immediately. Then he flew away to the nearest object - a decorative stone...

Our Alex Parrot

In the near future I may be purchasing an Alexandrine male, I have already set my eyes on the breeder in my area, however I'm getting cold feet. :54: I have plenty of experience with animals, as I grew up with chickens, ducks, budgies, canaries and zebra finches, fish and a cat. I know an...

So I've had my alexandrine for over a month now and it is around 9 months old. I got it from the pet store and it wasn't hand fed as a baby. Whenever I get closer to his cage he gets scared and starts climbing the furthest part og the cage. I haven't let him out to fly still, because I think he...

Hey there Was browsing the web and came across this site. I recently bought and Alexandrine and I've named him Rhaegal (Ray for short if you like) hes settled in quite well. Except for the lunging and not letting me pet him which is breaking my heart but with the help I've gotten from the site...

Hi, I got an Alexandrine parrot baby (2 months old) five days ago, so now it's about 9 weeks old. When I got it the breeder told me that it was on two 25ml handfeeds a day (one morning and one night) and to keep feeding it for another three weeks. The breeder also gave me the formula and...
