I just got a new parrot, Baby the male Eclectus parrot. He was given to me by a couple who just didn't have time for him anymore. He is 5 years old, and loves to laugh and hoot like an owl. He is my first parrot. Unfortunately I am allergic to other parrots (Especially cockatoos, they send me...

Edgar is now about 6 months old, he's doing amazingly well and I love him ^_^ he's mimicking whistles and clicks, and he loves to hang upside down and wrestle with my hands. I'm going to start harness training soon, he loves relaxing outside on our screened in porch, and I know he'll love...

I recently brought 5 week old green cheek home to finish hand feeding. The first few days while he was getting used to his new environment he was very quiet in and outside of his nesting box. He's now 7 weeks, in a large container with a smaller closed warm box inside, and a light that points...

Well, after being on pins and needles for about 2/3 weeks, we finally got to drive down and visit/play with the babies today! I took the day off and let son #2 skip school (son #1 is in deep trouble over his math grade) so that I had some help choosing. We were supposed to have first pick...

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I need help with my baby cockatiel, already named her Angel. I had to remove Angel from her/him nest 12 days ago, as her father died, my handsome Lutino "Big Boy" and the greatest father. Her mother did stay for a little while until the other male...

Hi guys, I've just purchased a 4 month old plum head parrot who was hand reared but has not been handled by the bird shop for about 4 weeks due to a busy Christmas period. I've been working on his training for the last four days but I still can't get him to stay on my hand as he keeps flying...

Hi All, I adopted a 5 week old male, blue parrotlet named Charlie. I love him so much, but have been racked with fear that something will happen to him. He's so little and besides a couple of buggies when I was a kid, I've no experience with birds. He's still on formula, but is starting to...

We are going to be getting a 5 month old B&G in mid-October. We are sooo super excited, we already have the cage but now begins the long wait. We have had a conure before but this will be our first Large species parrot. The breeder is amazing and even will be beginning flight suit...

The breeder called. My severe macaw baby has finished weaning. I'll be picking it up on Tuesday afternoon! I'm spending today and the next couple of days getting my room set up and rearranged - forming a play area, I'll also be disinfecting the new cage and toys out on the patio today. My mother...

hi guys! Long story short, my school is like a zoo, we have dogs, parrots, doves, peacocks, ferrets, a tortoise, rabbits, koi fish and more. There is a large enclosed courtyard with a pond and LOTS of plants. there are ducks that come and go, and many raise ducklings in the courtyard. Today my...

hi everyone, when i came home from school today, my friend gave me a shoe box with a baby bird in it. I know not to take in fledgling birds, I wasn't there when they took it. At this point, it was 10:00 pm (i had career night at school) so it was too late to put it back, and too late to give it...

Hi, We just received our new Green Cheek Conure baby today. He is a very sweet and a mega intelligent little guy. Our breeder told us that most are a little nippy when babies. I understand they test with their beaks things and or nip when tired/ hungry. Just a few quick Qs though: 1)...

I have a one year old green cheek conure, got him at 6 months of age. Still can't tell if he is a boy or girl. I taught him to step up pretty easily. He's mimicking our words with sounds. I've heard something about clicker training? If someone could explain that to me. He will let me have his...

Hi, I just got a 9 week old greencheek conure who is having some trouble getting used to being held. He will climb or fly to the other side of the cage when he sees me coming. If he does "step up" onto my hand, he will immediately fly back to the perch. I would like him to be cuddly and...

Hi guys, i've just brought home an 8 weeks old baby :whiteblue: . there's a few questions i do have if anyone can help me it would be amazing! 1. when i first brought her home she was really quiet but the next day she was chirping and making lots of noises , is it because she's stressed or...

Recently brought home my son's new GC, The Mean Green Jellybean! Was told by the breeder she was down to 2 hand feedings and was doing well on solids... we're doing great with the hand feedings, but Beanie seems much more interested in them than the solids we're offering her! (Beans, potato...

Hello, I have recently become an accidental newbie breeder and have really been enjoying it. I need some advice, here's a bit of background:- I originally had a pair of lovebirds. The hen laid eggs a few times, but none hatched. I have had these birds for 2 years now but I am unsure of their...

hi everyone! i finally got to bring home my baby yellow sided green cheek on tuesday. she's doing great :) she is on one hand feeding a day but has a ferocious appetite! tearing apart millet, pellets, seeds, & i even got her to eat grapes. im not sure of sex but i think personality wise she is a...

Ok guys this isn't really a problem question just a what's your suggestion question. So most of you know I took in a baby Scarlet Macaw who was being mistreated and was very afraid of everything and anything. So he is now 7 months old and I feel that we can finally tackle bath time! My question...

Hey everyone! So I haven't given an update in awhile and I figured it was about time. For those of you who don't know, I rescued a 3 month old Scarlet Macaw, who I named Phoenix. He wasn't being taken care of properly and was starving when I got him. He's become my best friend and my baby. So...

Well, he isn't really a baby. He was hatched September 23, 2012. He is a green cheek conure and sun conure hybrid( I know it's unusual but it was a mistake by the breeder). He bobs his head ALL THE TIME! Alot of the time it is while he is eating, playing or while im holding him. Any ideas? Here...

As a few of you (Although since I posted about another bird type before, you most likely won't be in this forum) might know, I've been looking for Conures. So I went to the Local Avian Store, Golden Cockatoo. There I found that Conures weren't the right bird for me. Luckily for me, two employees...

So I just recently got a baby Pearly Conure. She is the cutest thing but has a nasty bite! She makes me bleed about almost every other time she nips. Is this normal for new pyrrhura babies that come home? do they stay this nippy for awhile? And what can I do to help stop it? What is the best...

I have a male eclectus baby who is just a year old. He is SO energetic. he flies everywhere, and loves to talk. I'm not use to this since I have two other eclectus parrots (both male and female) who barely talk at all and are laid back. Now my baby one will not be quiet, and he's starting to...

Hi everyone! I am 13 years old and my mom suggested I join this forum. I just purchased a baby green cheek conure/sun conure hybrid named Mr. Pickles:) I can't take him home until Christmas when he is fully weaned and feathered! So excited! :green2: Does that look like a sun conure/green cheek? Haha

i have recently perched my 11 weeks old male eclectus and it doesnt seem like his posture is right. His not groping onto the perch tight, seems like his feet are straight sometimes. I never realised it untill recently, he doesnt seem very active and his wings looks floppy. His feet doesnt seem...

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and the bird world. I've had my current Indian Ringneck since November, 2011. I believe he is a girl, although I was told when I purchased him that he was a male. Being a softie when it comes to animals, I bought a completely untame, 6 month old ringneck. In...

hi, im on the waiting list to get a baby Eclectus hen and I'm so excited but i've been told off a few people not to get one because they can be very aggressive and that if i have males in my house ie: my dad and brother that she will bond with them over me. Is any of that true? I have a lot of...

The babies are already 3 weeks old and I'm handfeeding them, the oldest has green feather tips and black feather tips towards the end of the wings. The baby itself is a dark gray color and the fuzzy feathers are whitish. The beak has a black top towards the nose and the end is orange. The...

Hi there. :3 I am new to the world and love of birds and am starting my feathered adventures with a sweet, full-of-attitude three month sun conure named Pyros. I got Pyros when he was only a month old and will soon get to bring him home from the breeder. So far he loves it when he cover his...

Hi I brought home an alexandrine parakeet baby. Its about 6-7 weeks old now. He was perfectly fine in the start but he's been lying around and acting really lazy since last week. He has a runny nose too. I consulted a vet and he gave me a 5 day medicine. Can anyone please tell me if this is...

I just got my first green cheek 4 days ago and he is about 8 weeks old. He is very cuddly and attached to me already, he comes out of his cage and runs up to my shoulder and cuddles into my neck. He's eating normally and his droppings look fine, etc. But he does this little wing-twitch thing...

Hi all, My 9 month old Severe, Ollie does a few strange things.. I haven't owned a bird before so I wanted to check in and see if these things are normal. Ollie eats and drinks just fine, still trying to transition to pellets but eats oatmeal, fruits, veggies, nuts etc. I have noticed that only...

I'm new to bird ownership and it has been quite challenging. Four weeks ago I adopted a 4-week old scarlet macaw. So far, it is doing great, but I am somewhat sleep deprived. After I got it, we went to the avian vet, and everything seemed fine. A local breeder who has been very helpful with my...
