metal

Hi all. New to the forum. My three year old green cheek conure started licking the bottom of her water bowl today. She got bored of it after a few minutes and moved on to her other toys. She’s not messing with any other metal in her cage and she’s a generally weird bird. Any reason for concern?

My birds are all indoors so the wire doesn't have to withstand the elements, the wire isn't even really for them. One of my birds has decided my rabbits poop is fun to play with so he's been going in the litter tray. He also has started chewing the roof of the house I built my bunny and now my...

Hello all thank you for reading and responding to my post. It is truly appreciated. Unfortunately two days ago my little baby Lovebird, kiwi, was feeling sick and we quickly realized it was heavy Metal Poisoning. Fortunately we brought him to the vet immediately after we recognized his symptoms...

I am running out of toy ideas for my Conure, Rio. HELP! He does not like paper no matter the type - bags, boxes, cardboard, toilet paper - even if it has a treat in it. He isn't much on plastic parts either. He likes things made of metal he can open or take apart. - metal rings, etc. He also...

My sun conure, Elly, chews absolutely everything! The few times I wasn't watching her like a hawk, she has managed to chew at the wires of my headphones and at the plastic ends of the laces of my hoodie. She has not shown any symptoms of having swallowed any foreign material, but I am still kind...

Hi everyone, my name is Christine. I have a pair of lovebirds that I got around December of last year (they are about a year old now). Since I have gotten them my life has totally revolved around them. I got them tested for every bird disease they might have--they are all negative. They have...

He did pretty well at his 6-month checkup today, considering he was toweled 4 times, blood test, cultures, xrays, nails groomed, feathers clipped, got nail caught on my blouse while clinging at the back of my neck. He's so nuts when they try to get hold of him, but then he's still and lets the...

What do you think of this playgym from an online birdstore that lots of folks recommend (see link under photo)? Does anyone have it? My main concern is the metal hardware. The nice folks at the store got the materials info from makers, but it didn't help me at all, because I don't know if...
