I had a wonderful Fancy Green Cheek Conure. She was 10 months old and have had her about 6 weeks. She had been in two pet stores before we found her. In that time, she has learned to trust us, step up and to mimic my whistles. She responded very quickly to clicker training. We also have an 18...
Hello everyone, I hope you guys are having a wonderful evening!
I was looking at Galah bird cages/ cockatoo cages and ran onto this site called jet or something. And I found some AMAZING PRICES!! I could not believe it. I wanted to ask does anyone trust their company, or know anything about...
I am adopting a 30 year old BFA. She comes with a cage on a stand that isn't very big. I'd like to get her a larger cage--not huge--but something that would be good around our 3 cats. My thinking is that I would need one that is on a stand and has seed guards so the cats could not reach it...
I know that you shouldn't let your parrot out if there are risks involved like sharp edges around the room, open windows or doors, small places where he could get stuck, nobody being in the room etc. But is there a behavioral issue with giving it freedom 24/7?
I have an IRN and I let it go out...
Hello. Good to be on this helpful forum once again, as this is my second posting. In my previous post, I was confused between which feathered baby to bring home, and you guys sure helped me greatly! and I thank you for that. I have decided to bring home a Timneh AG. Yay, very exciting!
As I...
Hi all! :-)
A month ago I asked a question about how to stop a cage from smelling and got some great advice.
Now I have a new question: I need to clean the inside of the cage. As you may know, I have a lorikeet, and even though he sends to poop straight down, he sometimes projectile-poops...
Right so a brief introduction followed promptly by the query I have. Oh and please excuse any more do typos, I'm typing this on a mobile.
Hi all, I'm not new to birds nor am I new to Mason's lovely breed. ( He's a senegal btw.) I grew up along side birds, Mum had lovebirds and budgies and I...
My Quaker only goes inside his big cage to eat or drink; when I try to leave him in there by closing the door on him, he constantly tries to open the door and makes this loud, annoying screeching sound while banging the cage walls. After about a few minutes, he flips over the water and food...
Sorry if I'm a total newb.. -.- anyway, I have two sun conures and a baby green cheeked conure. Tikko is the baby, he doesn't have a cage, I mean, well, he does.. He just hated it so I put it away. He lives in my closet (I'll show a picture) and sleeps in his carrier, I bring him everywhere with...
I have a 7 month old congo african grey named Ava. Her parents were both wild caught and fairly large and at 4 months old when we got her she was already almost double the size of the congos in the other clutch ( they were hatched only days after her) and she was about the same size as the some...
So I bought this cage online
Prevue Hendryx Large Black Flight Bird Cage - Outdoor Aviary Cages and Parakeet Flight Cages from petco.com
and I just finished putting it together. I'm having second thoughts. It seems sturdy enough but I just don't want anything to happen to my bird. The bars...
so I am interested in getting a YCM this fall I have a Green Cheek Conure I have owned a white bellied caique , quakers, African greys, and sun conures. but have always wanted a Macaw so what is your opinion on them any personality traits ? talking ability? intelligence? I also have noticed...
Ok, so my GCC was housed with Quakers and Love birds and a Congo. so I have fallen in love with Yellow Collar Macaws and want to purchase a hand fed baby this December or so. I was wondering since I have a large cage if I slowly introduced them together my GCC being 4yrs old and very social and...
so im having my room decorated over this week and have put Lola into boarding to keep her away from plaster, dust, paint and vinyl glue fumes etc. ive had to take her big corner cage down with the intent to buy the new regular shaped cage whilst shes away and then build the new one in there (as...
Hi everyone. My brother just moved out of the country and sadly he had to leave his adorable GCC with me for a while. We are planning on getting him a bigger cage to play in until he starts trusting me enough to take him out of his cage.
Is this cage suitable for Conures?
Amazon.com : Prevue...
I've had Loki, an older Goffin's cockatoo, for about a month now. He loves to play with toys and chew on things, loves treats, and loves head/neck scratches. He does not step up, ever, for anybody. When I let him out of his cage he sits on top and plays quietly by himself and will come over for...
Hi again,
I'm new to lovebirds and I've read some contradictory information online about nesting boxes. I'm getting a single unsexed AC lovebird this Sat (cannot wait!), and I wonder if I need to provide a "nest" in the cage. My conure doesn't have anything like that and hates big objects in his...
I'm planning on getting a Cockatiel and I was wondering if that was a big enough cage for one. I can go a little bigger, but any space that would be safe for the bird is pretty much restricted to my 19X19 nightstand next to my computer desk. It can hang off a little since I could always move the...
Hi everyone,
My name is Declan I am new here at parrotforums.com. Sunday 30th March I got a Green Cheek Conure, the little guys name is Rio, he is 2 months old. I got him as a present. I brought him to the Vet on Wednesday 2nd April for a check up as being new to birds I was just being over...
Currently my lovebirds have this:
Prevue Hendryx Signature Select Series Wrought Iron Bird Cage in Chalk White at PETCO
Its a little big for them and I don't like the playtop on top--it makes the cage darker because it blocks light from above.
I am looking for a safe, substantial hanging...
So scouting round the net I come across this amazing cage!

Absolutely love it and when I move out that's the kind of thing I'll be after.
Typical it's American only though you guys have all the luck! Lol

My Rocky loves his cage
He's such a good boy I have never liked the idea of having a caged bird but I love them aswell so I had the idea that he just stays out
So I made him this!
He's the happiest birdie now when I take him back to his room he flaps his wings like crazy to get back to it
He...
Hi fellow twitchers :)
I am hoping to get a baby pineapple conure towards the end of April and I have a couple of questions I'd like some advice on.
firstly, I am a temporary resident and not a permanent resident of Canada. I am going through the process of applying for my residency, and it is...
Hello,
I was looking into getting a cage for a future Catalina macaw. I found one I like from King cages but was wondering if the dimensions would be good for her. The dimensions are 54"W x 42.5"D x 72"H. I am unfamiliar with the standards for corner cages and have read mixed reviews on the...
Hi, I am new here! I will be getting a sun conure within the next several weeks. He is still in the process of being weaned, so I have time to make preparations. I am trying to find the largest cage possible while still having the appropriate bar spacing. However, it seems that larger cages...
I brought Tamara (a CAG) from a couple who are moving and no longer have the space for her, the cage she is in is far to small and terribly made. All the doors are easy to open and none seem to have any locking devises except the cable ties they have been using. Was just wondering if anyone can...
Hello! I just moved my Green Cheek Conure, Zuko, into a much larger cage then what he was in before, which I assumed hey he would enjoy this! but He has never really enjoyed being in any sort of cage but he has been not sleeping very much or even in his bed while in the new cage even though we...
hey an accident just occurred , basically my baby amazon was in her cage and one of her toes got tangled between the bars but by the time i reached in to help her she had already got it out , she is pulling her foot inside and out but she is walking and holding up toys with the same foot most...
When we got our 2 Caiques, we were only planning on one. The cage we have is a bit small and we're looking to upgrade before the fall. The qualifications are:
Min 25" width
Min 30" length
Height I can reach and grab the little boogers when they're harassing me
This is the current front...
So my medium sized parrot, which have been here since a month, is not sociable at all. He doesn't wistle, doesn't scream. Accepts treats from hand, accepts touches in certain timed but a good biter most of the times.
I need to be provided with maximum help, please. I need links, videos, and...
So I'm trying to train my parrot (Jardine Parrot) not to bite me, by feeding him rice cakes when he doesn't bite me while I scratch his beak (through cage bars) But sometimes he licks my finger then close his beak on my ginger like biting it but he doesn't apply much pressure (it's not...
Since my cage door is a bit small, I decided to remove the ceiling of the cage, so the Jardine Parrot I brought 3 weeks ago could get outside, since he's always pushing himself through the bars. But he flew high in the room, flapping and flying. He bited my dad and it was chaos in the room and...
So whenever I wanna touch or stroke my parrot's head, I get a bite intention. But when he gets his beak out though the cage bars, I can safely touch and stroke his beak. When I go upper to his head, he makes a baby-like voice and gets away.
He's a Jardine, I guess over a year old, not sure. But...
I made him a swing perfectly but he just chewed the wood. It's industrial wood so I removed it because of chemical products concerns. Any other toys idea? Or games I can play?
P.S. I can't get him out if the cage since it's only been 1 week. But he's not that nippy
He is about 7 weeks now and close to being weaned. Recently I decided to start putting him in a cage a couple days ago since he is able to perch up without my help. He seriously hates being in the cage. He never bites me when going in, but when I put him in there at night he walks around at the...
I am looking to buy a new cage for my Sun Conure Mango. Right now he is in a 21" x 16" x 23" (W x D x L). The cage I am leaning towards is 32" x 23" x 37", but wonder if 24" x 20" x 34.75" would be good for less money and occuping space. I know bigger is better, but does a conure need that much...
Hello, I am new to this forum and new to being a parrot owner. My sister has 3 parakeets and I have always loved birds, but never really decided to get one. I have mostly small furry pets, but my awesome mother surprised me with a Jenday Conure. Now before you all go nuts lol, I received this...
