attention

Hi all, new member but have browsed before and you seem to give very straight-talking (but knowledgable) advice, and was hoping you could impart some wisdom. How do I stop feeling guilty and anxious leaving my boy even for short periods? I did not used to be like this. I lost my first bird a...

Hey fellow parronts. I'm at the end of my wit. I got Navi about half a year ago, and she is about two months older than that. Bonding has had its ups and downs, as expected, but overall she's grown on me and I would never want a different birdie than my quirky, screamy lady. Thing is...

Hi there, I have a 4 year old female parakeet. This is my first female, I've always had males before this. No matter how much attention I give her she is not happy the second I stop playing with her and that will continue on until I'm back giving her attention. I could be two feet away doing a...

My 5 yr old sun conure, Mojo, always wants my undivided attention. With other people that she likes, she is mostly content to just cuddle or sit with them and groom herself. But whenever I have her out of her cage, she always wants me to be actively scratching/petting her, taking her outside...

so ferris (my gcc) is about seven months old, i’ve had him for five or six of those months. i try to have him out as much as i can but while i’m at school he has to stay in his cage as we have two cats and if he’s left out of his cage he loves to run around the door for ages, getting their...

Hi All- So glad I found this site! My name is Starla and I live in Georgia. I have an Eclectus parrot named Romeo, of which has lived in this home for 20 years this year. He is actually my fathers, but my father is truthfully incarcerated. He has lived here since a baby, and my father has been...

I'm a first time bird owner and have noticed that my budgie Doodle (purchased about 1.5 months ago) will try to lunge towards me onto the bars. They will also climb all over the bars to get closer to me. They get mad when I talk to people I know via the computer. I think they want more...

I'm thinking about getting a conure, but with forums I've read, some say it needs tons of attention. Others say they can work 40 hours a week and their little conure is happy as ever. I just dont want my bird to feel lonely or bored! I have school for 7 hours a day and I'm wondering if that's...

Hey folks, First time poster here. Would just like to say hello and thanks for coming to my aid. Before you say what I know is coming, let me reassure the community that I understand birds (especially conures) can be very vocal. My concern is not with the noises - it's with the screaming. I...

Hi everyone, Just now I was cleaning my lorikeet's cage with a little sponge to get the food residue off the bars. Loki's always kinda aggressive towards "things that move quickly", so he tried to bite the sponge. I just continue on the cage somewhere else. Eventually I have to reach inside...

Hi everyone, As you know, Kyo has been really wonderful since we brought her home. At least, she gives ME no big problems (other than losing her attention very easily during training). As soon as she flies onto my head or shoulder, I pick her up and lay her on her back (she either then...

He is a diva!!!! What do your parrots throw when you don't pay attention to them for even a moment?? Lol

I've been thinking of this for a while… How do you guys spend time with for parrots? I mean, are you just doing your stuff at home letting your fids just be there maybe talking to them once in a while, or you spend time actually focusing on the parrot? I noticed that although being at home a...
