female

there is quite a story here, but I only want to do what is best for my bird and don't know what that is!! I have a female Alex I got in November, she was 3 months old (I think??) when I got her. I took her to the vet to be checked up, and it became clear I had a very abused bird. I could list...

I've had my female Eclectus for about 6 months now. She is 4 years old. Her previous owner said she was given fresh all the time, but everything I offer her (and I've tried everything!) she just throws at the bottom of her cage where it spoils, and I remove it. The only veggie I've gotten her...

I adopted two parakeets from a neighbor. Male and female. There was a breeding box already in the cage and I found out the female had laid an egg! I’m not too familiar with birds as I am a new bird owner (I’m learning quickly). She is on a good diet (seeds, pellets, veggies and mineral block). I...

Hi guys, I am concerned about one of my teil, named Jazzy. She is not able fly, but can glide within room. She is with me for 3 months. I noticed some of her flight feathers are clipped and have not grown in 3months. Does it take that much time? She eats mostly seed.

Hi all, I've been thinking recently about getting a female eclectus to keep my male company. But i've read very mixed things about the females, as most of you will know they are not the reccomended eclectus in most cases. Now i get that they tend to be more dominant and nippy but is it really...

Hi all, I'm looking for a female Red Bellied Parrot or a female Senegal. I am looking for a baby, preferably just recently weaned. I am located in Sacramento, CA. If the breeder is in driving distance it would be much preferred. I might also be interested in a young adult, so please don't...

hello Everyone - Seeking any input or possible information regarding my dear girls developing bald spot. I've never had an Ekkie before so I am unfamiliar with visual signs and whether they may indicate cause for concern or if this is part of a normal molting process.... She is ~ 5-6 months old...

Hello all, Today I am posting in hopes of finding a good home for my pair of Eclectus parrots. I have (Yogi) a 4 year old male Solomon Islands and (Ruby) a 16 year oldfemale VosMaeri. Ruby came to live with us after her original owner died of cancer after years of treatment that left Ruby...

I've recently been looking into getting another budgie. I visited the petstore and played with the hand-fed babies. And one female budgie was super friendly, she'd hop up to any hand that was within six inches of her! I've been rethinking some of the stereotypes I've associated with females...

Hi guys, for the past few weeks I have been building a relationship with my darling Suki. She is about 1 year old. I have read and tried finding new information on how female Pionus parrots become at sexual maturity . Now Suki still has a little ways to go before she reaches that point in her...

I am thrilled to have my first pet parrot in my life. She is a white capped Pionus and her name is Suki. She is such a sweet heart, although she is only 1 year old, things could change but I hope not. Suki is like velcro. She follows me everywhere, always wants to be with me. I never...

Hi all, I am new here and really looking forward to the insight of others who know what its like living with a parrot ! Heres my story, Ill try to make it short and spare you the dramatics. Two and a half years ago I adopted a female Eclectus who I named Coco. She was 4 years old...

My cockatiel lays many unfertelized eggs and because of this she has smelly diarrhea. Even when she is not laying much eggs, the poop is not healthy and is big and watery... My mom tells me that I should give her away but there's obviously no one who would want a bird like that. I don't know...

I'm meeting someone tomorrow to pick up a female red-lored amazon, and the current owner promised me that the parrot will be quiet. According to him, she will not go on screaming fits as I know most parrots are known to do. Are female red-lored amazons generally loud or quiet? By LOUD, what I...

I'm getting a Pearl Cockatiel on Friday and he's multicolored. I'm having trouble looking for a name for him. I'm considering "Mango" one of the names I will be naming him but I'd like suggestions. (: Any names? I'm also getting a female grey cockatiel and she's going to be named Peaches.:grey:

My Eclectus parrot likes to sit and watch me, but while she's doing that, sometimes she likes to act like she's chewing without any food, and grind her beak in between. Also, there's another thing she does where she take say, her right foot and her right wing and raises them together and stands...

Hello again, I've been thinking of a cockatiel for a while and was doing my research. I read a lot of information about tiels, and I sort of understood from what I have read that females are prone to be egg-bound and other diseases while the males tend to be more healthy. And also that...

I got her at 2 weeks old. She will be 2 years old on June 21st 2014. She weaned and eats Zupreme pellets just fine. Fruity kind. As well as fruits and veggies. Starting a few months ago she started getting green "Spots" on her back. She does not pluck and her behavior has not changed. Could she...

So Miss Lola's been home with us 3 weeks now, and was an absolute doll the first two weeks. She and I got along great, but she adored my husband right from the start- even though she spent most of her time with me, as I work from home and he leaves for work each day. The last owners said she was...

So lulu seems to tolerate everyone in the house although she won't step up for anyone except me, unless she just is desperate to leave where she is (i.e. when she is on the floor or on an awkward angle on a perch). Well about an hour ago my sister (9 yrs old) and I were sitting on the floor...

Hi guys. So I'm a new guy here and I have a few questions to ask. So, tomorrow I'm going to pick up my adopted female eclectus. She is about 2 years old and the rescue said she took very well to men. This is my first time adopting an older parrot and I would just like some advice on what to do...

My female sun conure has been really tough to get out of her cage for the past month or two. I don't know what it is. Sometimes it can take me 5 or 10 minutes to get out of her cage. Other times I will just flat out give up. Once I get her out, she's is very sweet and doesn't seem to be afraid...

I shouldn't be shocked because I've read about it... but it's different when it actually happens in front of you... Prim was born early October 2011, the past two months she has been on a downward slope. She went from /never/ biting, to occasional moody nips, to now lunging at faces and hands...

Hello All! I just got the DNA results for Cecil back and was surprised to find out he is a girl. I'm surprised primarily because he has been strutting around, bobbing his head and flitting his wings. I assumed this was some sort of male display--I was obviously wrong!! Then there is the...

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...

Hi, new to this forum. I have a 24 year old Blue Fronted Amazon Female and other then my Dad owning her first; I am the only other 'owner'. Originally she belonged to my dad, but as i moved out, i got her. So i am very used to her behavioral actions. She is never really been an aggressive bird...

I just got a 2 year old female Indian Ringneck parakeet,she is quiet for the most part during the day but when the sun starts going down she starts squeaking.Then when the sun is fully set she starts making a "car alarm" sound well that's what i call it its her loudest call.Does anyone else's...
