care

Hello, I have seen today some strange faeces in my parrot, being extremely liquid and greenish. Attached photo. Normally it is more solid and with normal colouring. His behaviour is the same as always, he has clean water and a diet rich in nuts, dried fruits, some seeds, apples, bananas and...

Ok, so let me say this right off the bat, I'm 15 and my b-day was yesterday. My eccentric uncle decided it would be a great idea to get me a macaw. I have no idea how to care for her and I need as much help as I can get. She is not being well taken care of right now; my uncle knows nothing about...

Hello I'm new to this forum and I really enjoyed reading people's experience with their parrots. In 4 weeks, a male eclectus parrot should (or shouldn't?) Come home with me. Sadly, a sudden medical condition might send me in a wheelchair for some time, or if the worst becomes reality, forever...

Does the question make sense? I've adopted an adult male cockatiel (Miu), he's very sweet and tame. We've had him for a few years now. Recently my mom brought home a 3 week old cockatiel chick, Miu is very interested and always observes me feeding the baby. Whenever he gets close to the...

Hi, I just discovered my budgie bleeding from his wing, after checking him for around 10 minutes I couldn’t find a blood feather and so I just put a lot of corn starch on it to try stop the bleeding. I’ve put him back in his cage and am keeping an eye on him. He’s acting normal but keeps...

Hello everyone, For a while now I've been considering getting a pair of cockatiels. I've always wanted a bird and from the research I've done, a cockatiel would be a good match for me. But, I've never had a bird before, so I'm worried there's something I'm not taking into account. So, I'm hoping...

Hi all! Does anyone make their own cage cleaner or "poop off" cleaners? If so would you mind sharing your recipes with me? I've read that some people use water, lemon juice, and baking soda, but I'm concerned that the combination of baking soda and lemon juice may damage my cage in the long...

:green2: Hello my name is Mark from New Jersey and I have just recently purchased my first bird. He is a 5 month old Green Cheek Conure named Watson. I have always wanted a bird and when the opportunity came I couldn't wait. My girlfriend and her family have a 27 year-old blue fronted amazon...

Hey everyone so my green cheek Lilo just had surgery and we have to give her medicine but im having trouble on giving the medicine to her as she doesnt open her mouth, i tried putting the little syringe on the side of her mouth to see if she'll open it and nothing. What we are doing right now is...

I just registered at this forum to ask a question. I'm not a parrot owner (I had two pet crows in past - that's the only birds I had). We stepped by Petsmart with my hubby yesterday to get some supplies for our baby rats, and there was this Green Cheek Conure there… Alone, so sad and kinda...

I might be getting one or the other sometime soon, I know the important things like, pellets and seeds as a staple, human grade fruit and veg baring avocado and raw onions as food, cage should be at least 2X the wing span, they also need 4+ hrs a day to be happy, but there is no what I consider...

Hello Everyone! I am sooooo thankful to have found this website!!!! Whew! I am a total newby to the world of parrots. :grey: Let me tell you how this came about. My neighbor across the street from me was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She is in the early stages of treatment. When she...
