apartment

There is not an immediately logical reason for the apartment to smell like diesel. The apartment has no utility gas, only electric. In the two years I've been here, no gas smell has ever occurred and we recently changed the vent filter. A large and loud car did rumble by an hour ago which...

Im trying to find somewhere more visually entertaining to put my lovebird’s cage. He is only in his cage when Im not home other than that hes with me or on his playstand next to me. But since i am a college student i do spend part of the day out. I currently have him in the den of my apartment...

Hello, I am trying to figure out a good placement for my lovebird. I currently have him in the den of my apartment, which is a bit secluded from the living room and doesnt have any windows. I wanted to put him somewhere next to the windows of my apartment because I feel he needs more of a a...

Apologies, this is a bit long. I own a BHC who I've had for about 12 years now since she was 6 months. She has always lived in my parents house including when I was away during college, but now that I'm in medical school I brought her with me to my apartment. The two of us have not been...

Hi all, I'd like all your opinions. I'm interested in getting a Green-cheek Conure or Senegal Parrot. I have owned birds before, a Sun Conure and an African Grey who unfortunately I had to give up when I moved here (to Ireland) from South Africa. I gave them to a bird sanctuary with huge...

One of my biggest concerns about bringing a companion into my life would be the troubles of apartment living. - How do you handle your neighbours cooking with teflon and other toxic materials? Because I stay in a tropical country, this is particularly a large concern since apartments tend to...

Hi, My name is Ebrahim Mohamedali. It has been a life long dream of mine to own a macaw parrot. However, I am 100% aware of how noisy they can get. So, let me jump straight to it. Have any of you ever owned a macaw in an apartment? Is there any thing I can do to keep the noise levels down...

Hello all! I live in a two-bedroom apartment by myself. I'm 20 years old and I work full time. For a long time I have really wanted a green cheek conure, and I am finally in a financial situation where I can afford one. But I want to make sure all other aspects of my life are in order for...

I've read that Amazons and African Greys don't need to be hand fed or previously tamed to tame them; as long as they weren't horribly abused. That they're cognitive functions are so high to a point that they will quickly understand that their new owner desires to keep them safe and happy. But I...

Hi all! I'm having some issues with my gcc Meadow (whom I affectionately call Dodo). Dodo is about a year old but I've had her for about a month. She used to belong to my mom who also has three macaws and an African grey. Needless to say, Dodo did not get a ton of individual attention...

So 2 days ago i ended up moving again. But this time i just moved across the hall to a bigger apartment (same layout, but extra bedroom). The move took maybe 2 hours so I don't think LuLu was all that phased by the move. But now LuLu seems to be way more clingy. She will do her call whenever I...

Hi guys, this isn't really a new problem but I'm a little more concerned now. Lulu occasionally screams. It's not extremely loud, or excessive but I just want to know why she does it. Before I moved, if lulu was upstairs and I was downstairs, it was not bad at all but we have carpet upstairs (...

How to remove scents and cleaning products from a house & adjust pets to moving Might sound confusing in the title so let me explain a bit better. We are moving to an apartment but we can only get in in a couple of weeks so in the mean time we are living in my dad's condo. He is leaving...

I recently adopted a 6 month old Green Cheek Conure, he is totally adorable and sweet. My main concern with him is how loud he can get. He was silent the entire first day I had him except for when I went to put him to bed. He squawked and screamed for about 45 minutes. I know this is common, but...

I joined this forum to ask for advice regarding my 13 year old senegal parrot. I've had Emi since I was 11 years old, and she is very important to me. My parents have been looking after her since I moved out. Not only do I miss her and want to be able to see her more regularly, but my parents do...
