help and advice

Hello again! Here to ask yet more questions before I get my bird next year haha. So I read that not every bird talks, but Indian ringnecks will more than likely talk if given the proper training and time and effort. Is this true? I really want my ringneck to talk (if it doesn't then I will still...

Hello! So I am getting an Indian ringneck within the next year, one thing that is baffling me a bit is the cage size, bar spacing ect. I have been trying to look for a suitable cage for an Indian ringneck so I can buy it in advance and get it set up before I get my new baby bird. I have decided...

Hi everyone! My name is Parker, and after months and months of research and begging, I've found out that I'm going to get a bird for my birthday this Monday! This is great and all, but I'm having some trouble figuring out the timing of it all. About a week after my birthday, me and my family...

So I have three budgies and I want to breed the two. There are two males and a female. One of the males is already bonded and preening and feeding each other. The nesting box has been in there for about two and a half months and there is no sign of the female ever going inside of it. There is...

I am currently bird sitting for 5 months. Her name is Lexus and she is an eclectic parrot. She layed 2 eggs a week ago and is displaying some odd behaviour. I'm wondering if this is normal, like a hormone thing and will pass? :confused:

I'm a first time bird owner with a two year old quaker parrot named Nyx who is the light of my life. He's goofy and lovable and a really great companion, but I've started having problems with him the last month. I have five zebra finches as well, including two females, and I usually had them in...

Hello all, Back in November, I purchased two young Lovebirds (I was told they were about two months old; Both of their beaks were about 75% brown) from a breeder. I previously owned Budgies when I was a child, although I didn't quite know how to tame them back then. I've watched various...

Hi guys! I'm new to bird ownership and I just got a Yellow-sided Green Cheeck Conure. I want to know if my setup is appropriate, or if I should change a few things. I'm also concerned about feather loss, as a tail feather is coming out and I want to make sure it doesn't have to do with how I...

Hello everyone. Some of you may remember me from the conure or parakeet forums. Looks like as of last week, I am in the parrotlet forums too. My house just became an aviary @@; Lily (parrotlet) was an old bird of mine. However, due to unfortunate circumstances while I was in college, I had to...

Hi everyone! First time poster, apologies if this gets long. A week ago I became the owner of a 9 week old rainbow lorikeet. Although she was (apparently) fully-weaned when I bought her, she seems to have regressed a little... so I've been hand-feeding her wet lorikeet food (as well as offering...

Hi all! I've had my heart set on owning a bird, a green cheek conure, for the longest time. I have such a love for the pure (albeit destructive) adorable things! Now im finally old enough, responsible enough, and have enough money to do so! Only issue is I live with my mother while going to...

Okay, first of all, I apologize. I know that some people might get angry with my post, and you have full right to be. I am angry with myself too. Now let's start with a little bit of background: 11 years ago my father bought a yellow headed Amazon, his name is Oliver! He was just a baby. He...

Hi! I recently acquired a quaker parrot from a not-so-great home and we're trying to adjust to eachother. His name is Nico and he just came into my life this morning. I was wondering if you guys could help me understand some of his behaviour? When I first met him he was very bitey, drawing a...

Hello, 3 days ago I got a 4 week old green cheek conure and I've been hand feeding it with a syringe. Since yesterday, my bird has been opening its mouth in between feeding and since a few hours it's been opening its mouth, bobbing its head up and down and after vomiting the food I just gave it...
