Hi, so I recently posted a thread talking about my birds weird actions and the scare it was causing me. Luckily a nice person had explained to me that it could be hormones and my bird seeing me as a mate. As of recently my mom and brother left to travel and that might be one of the reasons for...

Hi, I am writing this post with a heavy heart so please bare with me. I got my green cheek conure back in august of 2019 from a family in NY (i live in central east NJ) that was rehoming their bird, I had taken an interest in parrots at that time and had done tons of research to make sure I knew...

I’ve had my green cheek conure for a couple years now and he is very bonded to me and sweet and cuddly, but recently he will randomly attack my face with extreme force, biting me hard and making me bleed. I am considering rehoming him if this can’t be fixed, because I leave him in his cage...

So my Indian Ringneck, Ringo, I have had him for a little over a year now. He still does not let me touch him, or even feed him out of my hand. The closest thing (and the most recent progress) I have gotten him to do is eat out of a bowl I was holding through the little bowl holder in his cage...

Hi, I got a baby Alexandrine parrot almost 11 days ago now it's about 35 days old... It's my first ever parrot. for some reason it is rejecting the hand feed. I don't know why. The formula breeder told me to give my parrot just didn't ate it he vomited all of it so I got something else for it...

Hello! I just found this site and was hoping for some advice. I have had my amazing female albino ring neck who is about to turn 1 year old in April for about 5 months. She has a great personality and I love her to death. I ended up buying her from some sketchy place that was very unhelpful and...

Hello, Yesterday I adopted a 7 month old conure. He’s semi-tame and a little afraid of hands. But I’ve never owned a conure before and he seems to be constantly chirping and screaming. He doesn’t want to be touched but it’s obvious he wants to be constantly near me. When he starts screaming...

I have a 9 month old pineapple conure. She lives a very free lifestyle within the walls of my bedroom. The rest of my family has animals that I just don’t want to risk it with Munchi(my bird). Munchi is flighted, she has free roam pretty much at all times even at night she sleeps in the same...

My Sun conure is around 1 years old and he took quite a lot of naps in a day, he eats well and is very energetic and playful. Nothing’s wrong, just him taking plenty of naps in a day. He can’t really sleep at night because it’s too noisy. I’m quite worried because this keeps on going on and on...

my conure seems as if one eye is a little puffy than the other eye. This is occurring in his left eye. He had a shower the other day, I don't know if the shower cause it to be like this or any water in his eye. He's been yawning as if he was a little tired. He likes to play with wood a lot, I...

I dont own any macaws but i was just wondering what temperature do you need to keep the chicks at when hand rearing from day one. Also i was wondering the same about budgies. Does anyone have charts for the 2 species also including how often to feed ( I know how much to feed is 10% of the body...

I have a pineapple conure. She’s almost 2 years old and her wings are fully grown out. Therefore she flies all around the house whenever she wants. I usually leave her out and about in the living room and she does her own thing. I went to use the bathroom today and left her in the kitchen where...

My bird has been around my mothers set when she was cooking and he was fine. But im still worried. Ive been trying to do research about the set and some say...

Hello from Australia! This is my 1 and a half year old green cheek dna sexed female. Her name is Chihiro. When I first got Chihiro her feathers had black tips which could have been a number of things but I'm almost sure it was her previous diet. That was about a year ago and she has since molted...

I recently noticed Pepper, my 3 month old green cheeked conure has this triangle looking white tip on his tail. I looked everywhere but I cant find what it might be, does anyone know? I attached a photo of anyone knows.

I *just* got my new parrotlet from a local breeder, she's absolutely adorable. And I KNOWW you're not supposed to let them out on the first day with no training but..oops I let her out and she headed straight for the false ceiling, after a couple minutes (felt like hours) of coaxing her out we...

Hi everyone! My male yellow sided green cheek has been so aggressive lately. He at random decides my hand is evil and will seek it out to attack! I've tried to read the signs as to what might upset him and why he might want to attack my hand at a certain time but it just seems to be random!! He...

Hi! so i recently started hand feeding a 1 month old white face cockatiel. everything is going great so far. but, the biggest issue i’m facing is biting. she/he bites me so hard it leaves me stunt for a few seconds. i don’t understand why because she already sees me as her “mom” she screams when...

My budgie seems sick. I got him from a pet store a few days ago, he is an adult budgie. The first day I got him, his tail was bobbing. The second day he sneezed. Now when I look at him, his tail is bobbing all the time, but a little bit more than slightly. He seems to eat normally, though. Yet...

Hi guys, I just got my yellow sided green cheek baby 2 days ago and just yesterday he started making little noises every second and flapping his wings. I've searched it up but I can't find an answer to what it means! Why is he doing this??

Hello everyone! So I have a couple questions if that's okay So I was recently given an indian ringneck bird but the person who gave it to me didn't even bother to ask any questions about him so I'm having trouble with him :( I'm assuming he's about 8 weeks old but I could be wrong. I have...

I rehomed my 10 year old rescue Conure Jake, about a year and a bit ago. When I first got her she was a little bit nippy with hands but would step up and loved a cuddle. Over the last 2-3 months she has suddenly become aggressive with not just me but everyone, going so far as to not take even...

Hello everyone. We rescued an IRN from this person who kept the parrot in a really cramped cage. The cage was extremely small and he had absolutely no space to move around. He was fed really poorly as well. We got him five days ago. First thing we did was move him to a bigger cage and feed him...

Sorry if this seems repetitive, I know there is a lot of topics on similar problems to this, but I am in kind of stuck with this and need some advice. My young gcc is on a diet of pellets and some seeds(although she prefers the seeds) and is a pretty good eater. But I can't seem to get her to...

I had just gotten my new baby green cheek conure from the pet store a couple weeks ago. She is my first parrot and was about two months old when I brought her home. I am concerned because she seem to me to be a bit underweight. I feed her a mix of pellets and a conure mix with some seeds in it...
