Hi all,
I recently bought a Sennie (day 4 today), named Miss Feathers, and I realized she's still quite a baby, +- 1 years old.
She doesn't have a vast sound range and it can be hard to tell if she's purring or growling. But a lot of the time she'll perk up with lots of throaty noises (the...
Hi, itās me again š
I am hand feeding three cockatiels and one of them has always full crop. So I thought that it is sour crop or crop infection. So I started giving antibiotics. I am giving them 2 times a day. Now itās almost a week and his crop is still full. I think hes digesting. But why...
Iāve had my Pearly Conure, Phil, for 3 years, but recently finished school and have been home less due to work. To ensure Phil isnāt alone, Iāve decided to get a second bird. Unfortunately, my local options are quite limited. The only nearby rescue within 150 km is very selective about who they...
I just wanted to make sure I paid the bird tax for all the help =3

Iāve been trying to get advice for this though my usual alleys but Iām not getting the information that I need so Iām trying a parrot forum instead. Birds are birds right?

I recently had to take over hand feeding on a 4 week old green cheek conure. I have never handfed before but did a lot of research to try to help this baby survive. He has been eating well until today. He ate 11ml in the morning, next feeding, wouldnāt eat at all. Got 2 ml in but thatās it and...
šš¢I need advice: Our pair had their first clutch. Babies are a few days older than 3 weeks old. However dad died unexpectedly this morning, we are heartbroken. Will the hen feed the babies still? She isnāt sitting with them as much is that normal for this age? Iāve seen her go in and immediately...
I was supposed to go tomorrow but out of fear of the babies getting sold, I went today. On my way home a wicked snow storm started, but rest assured, the baby is warm and safe.
The store owner told me she thinks my baby is a girl based on her pelvis, so to be safe she will receive plenty of...
I currently have 3 baby scarlet macaws and thinking about keeping some while trying to sell some to try to build up a savings for a Hyacinth breeding pair.
Any idea of prices of baby Scarlet macaws? When they are most expensive? ---When they are right after weaning? When they learn how to fly...
I have a 4 month old cockatiel! I have a question because I always see this. My cockatiel loves to snuggle, he loves his head scratch and he loves kisses. But thatās only he wants. I see birds playing and whistling a lot, my bird doesnāt do that as much. Is it just because he is just a baby...
Hello!
I was super excited today when I checked on a cage that has three conures in it to find out one of the females laid an egg (hopefully the first of several)!
The cage has 2 females and 1 male (the male is the brother of one of the two females in the cage). The female that is not his...
Hello,
I've recently entered the process of getting a baby male Eclectus. The situation is that the store where I'm getting him from hatches the babies and takes care of them for several months before they can be taken home. I'm in that phase now, my Eclectus turned 2 months old last week. I...
Hello everyone,
I am currently waiting on a Green cheek conure.
He/she is now 1 month old and I'm seeking advice on my initial set-up, or anything else that I need to know.
I'll welcome it home in about 2 months.
There were green cheeks conures at a pet shop near my place, they didn't offer...
Hi. First time posting from a first time parrot owner. We recently got a baby Blue & Gold Macaw (roughly 5 months old). She is eating solid food and was hand-fed by a very experienced exotic bird store.
She is very friendly and loves people. We have her out of her cage for about 1-2 hours a...
3 days ago we got 2 baby Ringneck Parrots. They are very active. But 1 day after getting them I noticed that their feet be cold and their body would start shivering when I am around. At first I thought they were scared but when i am around they will jump out of there box to come on my hand and...
PiƱa (our pineapple GCC) is now about 14 weeks old and her personality is really coming out. She loves being the center of attention. She plays very well in her cage with her toys and does this adorable cheep when she finds one of the little treats I've hidden in her foraging toys. We have her...
Hi,
10 days ago, two baby budgies hatched in my cage. They are doing well. However, the last egg just hatched today.
The 10-day old baby budgies are quite large now and the newborn budgie is very small. I am scared the newborn baby will be neglected by the mother or injured by their older...
Hi everyone,
I have a new baby Senegal (close to day 3 at her new home now). I've named her Olive. The shop owner says she is a little over 2 months old and needs to be fed formula 2 times a day (but only as a supplement), because she has started to eat small pellets herself as well.
I'm...
Two days ago, I got a lovebird that the owner says is 6 weeks old. He said that it was off the formula, and gave me a bag of Zupreem pellets to feed it (image attached). The bird eats very well, and is learning how to use the bottle but we have a small dish of water as well. However, it seems to...
Hi all!
My last post I had some questions about my soon to be cockatiel baby.
However, the owner and I have talked, and they offered to rehome him to me now.
Iād like to have him soon because on the 20th I have three weeks off of my schooling and do not have to do anything school related. (I...
Hello, I come here for guidance and advice.
I am getting a cockatiel in less than two weeks.
Iāve done research everyday and have prepared everything from the cage to the food to bird-proofing my house.
I have just a few questions regarding the tiel I am buying, but first some information...
Hello,
I am new to the forums and new to the parrot owning world. We just got a nanday conure two days ago. She is almost four months old. I call it a she but I dont actually know. She was acting fine, or at least as far as I could tell, but yesterday she started being fluffed up all the time...
Hi! I recently got a baby caique of 5 months old. She is lovely, and we do many things together. From bike rides with her lash, to playing during the weekend with anything we find. She has flew away around 7 times and has always come back when I call her. We get allow really well.

Was planning on getting a male Eclectus last year around December, it ended up being a scam and we lost 900$.. I should have been more attentive.
Finally decided to get one once again, from a REPUTABLE breeder, they've been wonderful!
He's really young right now and will be ready around...
Hello All. We have a pair of Eclectus. They are not doing so well in the parenting department. In fact, they're doing a terrible job. While the mum is able to hatch the eggs, she is not doing so well in the rearing department.
She hatched a chick last week and we could hear the hatchling. My...

Hello, I have now had Coco, my alex for about 1 month and a half, she was parent raised and when I first got her from the breeder for the first day I have kept her in her new cage so she could get used to her surroundings better (she is kept in my room). On the second day I opened the cage so...
A friend of mine has just started researching GW Macaws and will begin her search for a reputable, responsible breeder at some point next year within theg state of Texas. Any recommendations?
I don't know where to start. I expected this to happen but I am not prepared and I don't know what to do.
The/A baby raven left the nest today and ended up in my backyard. A backyard filled with feral cats.:17::17:

Hello. My name is Peggy Vucenik, and my husband and I have decided to open our home and hearts to a feathered child :)
I am 42 and have never had children, but I have always wanted an African Grey so we decided to fill our need to nurture by purchasing one.

Hello all!
My husband and I have had an African Grey named Marley for 5 years but he is about 20. He's an incredible bird. Loves to chat. He came from a home that had teenage boys so he has a wide variety of burps .
Recently, we are facing three problems.
One being that my husband has always...

Hey guys Iāve just picked up a 5 week old sun conure from a trusted breeder. Iāve owned conures in the last, green cheek, and another sun. Both Iāve got as babies and handfed myself. Sadly both I had to give away because I was still living in an apartment and didnāt have the dedicated time as I...
