new adoption

Hello Everyone! I got my Amazon parrot a month ago - everything seems going well so far but we have a huge attachment issues. He was kind of a rescue - his owner died and his partner hated birds so he was kept in the outdoor aviary in Ireland (which is pretty cold in winter) I encountered...

Ive just picked up my new baby and she’s quite stressed with all the new moving. Is there any music i could play that might be able to help her relax?

Hello! I have recently come across an Amazon parrot in need of a home! She is still quite young and is wild caught and was raised with nestum here in Mexico. She has quite a sad story, but the owner has finally decided to give her away to a new family, I'm the one chosen to get her. The problem...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone had any personal opinions on parrots that may be the best fit for my lifestyle. I have previous experience with large birds such as African Greys and Alexandrines (He was my first parrot who sadly passed away a year ago due to a long term illness) Since my...

Hi everybody- i’m Kyla from NZ. Crazy about parrots - I had a lovebird named Tangelo that unfortunately got sick and passed Dec 2022. I have since adopted an 8year old Rainbow Lorikeet by the name of Gizmo - loving Tangelo and learning from him enabled me to be a savior for this lori, as she...

Whoah!!! I posted without even introducing myself here, haha, how rude!! Well!!! Lets get started ay? My name is Camille!!! I'm FtM, 24, kind of wayyy too friendly. I LOVE drawing, video games, and fish are one of my main autism “special interests”. You need to know a random fact about fish...

Hello!!!! So, I've had birds in the past, but they weren't tame/ lived in an aviary and I didn't really interact with them very much. The aviary was my parents when I was a child, and when I had my last birds, I was very depressed and didn't take the best of care of them admittedly, and ended up...

Hi! I am new to the bird-keeping hobby but have done extensive research! I currently have a Quaker Parrot named Iago, and I am in the market for an Amazon Bird. I recently visited a bird sanctuary to see if one might be a good fit and there he was!!! A DYH male named "Rascal". To his...

Hey everybody, so here I am at 3 am browsing internet because I decided i want a birdie=) After doing toons of research, few trips to local bird store, it seems that an african grey would be the perfect fit for me. Being in college full time, I cannot spend 4 grand on a bird, so i was looking...

Hello y'all and thanks in advance. I've been wanting a pet bird for years, and years, and years, and finally felt I was in a place where I could adopt one. I purchased a beautiful blue budgie and got him set up in a lovely cage with everything a bird could desire. He spent the first day...

Hello everyone, I recently adopted a pair of bonded caiques (a little over a week ago). They have not been encouraged to do any mating behaviors in the past and I don’t want babies, so I have been working to ensure that I don’t do anything that could impact that (only head scratches, 12 hours of...

I have recently come into possession of a accidental hybrid of a Timneh African Grey and a Cape parrot. This is an incredibly rare bird, and not much has been documented about them. I know that every bird is very unique, but I’ve been looking to document what I learn from the bird I have. (Which...

Hi! I’m am a new bird mom. I recently adopted through a pet store a (green cheek?) conure. I’ll attach a picture. Anyways, I know I have to acclimate her to him (I just assume because of not knowing sex) new home, how can I bond with her. Any tips and tricks? He is rather nippy per store, but...

Hi All! Since 6 days I have a new Green Cheek Conure called Jippie! He is a male, 2,5 years old and has been staying with a family before me. I have been trying to get him used to my place, and his cage. His behavior is kind of double, he can be super attached to me and sitting on my shoulder...

Hi! I’m looking into adopting a parrot. I’ve only owned smaller parrots (conures) in the past. I have researched birds for years and believe I am ready to own a slightly bigger bird. I’m not going for huge, but something more medium. My favorite species are rose-breasted cockatoos, and I have my...

Hi there! So, I'm a new owner of a 7 month old Indian ringneck who I named Chartreuse. They were handfed as a baby but wasn't touched much afterwards. I'm not entirely new to bird, I had a couple of love birds, and my beloved Sun Conure who had complications with epilepsy and passed a while...

Hello! Looking for additional members for my flock and figured I'd check here first. 1) Male conure 1-7 y/o. I currently have a male maroon bellied conure who is desperately trying to play with the cockatiel and she wants none of it. Hoping to get him a companion whether they end up being cage...

So, I've recently got myself a single female cockatiel and she has the softest most adorable personality. I've waited until her quarantine period has ended before trying to introduce her to my 2 budgies in the living room. Witje, my female budgie isn't particularly fond of her but she's okay...

Greetings, I recently adopted a pineapple conure (around 5 months old) 2 months ago (also I don't know my parrot's gender but I feel like she is a female) and I've noticed she lunges towards women to bite them and I don't know to keep her under control when guests come over but with males she...

Hello everyone, I recently got my newest little buddy, Kiwi/Link (still can't decide) the green cheek conure, other than a Fischer Lovebird :rainbow1:, this is my first experience taming and bonding with a bird. I've done a lot of research before getting him and I understand the general...

Hi everyone! I own a pet store, and was surrendered two Quaker parrots with not a lot of background history so I will give everything I know about them here: Lulu - female we were told, “hates” children and men, had a mate before but died(?) is 2-4 years old. She has a bald spot at the base of...

I brought home a pair of budgies a month ago. I don't know their ages. They have slowly got used to new home and environment. They initially used to fight but from 7 days before they have started taking interest in each other and I have seen them mate thrice these days. Male is always trying to...

I've only had my budgies for a lil over 2 weeks. I rescued 5 of them & have realized my huge challenge of hand taming all of them at almost a year old. They are totally afraid of me. I've been standing by their cage, telling them how pretty they are, holding my hand inside & looking at them with...

I have had my eclectus for almost a month now, he’s been adjusting really nicely, talking and sqwaking, preening, all normal behaviors. I can tell he’s still unsure about a lot in my house and I’m wondering when I should start introducing him to showers here. His old mom used to just put him in...

Hi, I'm new over here. It's a long story but I'll try to make it short. Two years ago my dad passed away so I inherited, together with his house a beautifull 15 yo female greenwing named Pluma. Around 5 weeks ago a friend aproached me me ask if I could adopt another greenwing of unknown gender...

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 all! I recently adopted a gorgeous 6 year old, DNA-sexed male blue-headed pionus named Rookie. Though I am not new to the world of birds, having previously owned a cockatiel, budgie, and black-cheeked lovebird, Rookie will be my first "big" parrot as well as my first interaction with...

I'm hoping for some answers...my 6month old Lovie was just brought home yesterday. I recorded a video of her and during the playback it started chirping away at her own sound. I played bird sounds from YouTube and it starts chirping w excitement and runs back and forth at the bottom of the cage...

I just brought home a 6 year old female Eclectus who I bought from a woman :red1: who could no longer have her for health reasons. Her name is Angel, and she's warming up slowly. She doesn't seem to talk much. When I first got her she would scream a lot to get my attention, but now that she's...

Hi Everyone! I recently adopted a Cinnamon Green Cheeked Conure for my Pop, having read some good thing about them being used as companions animals. I spend a lot of time taking care of my grandfather- he suffers dementia (not too advanced) and now we've learned that after 21 years in...

I have had Bentley, an umbrella crested cockatoo, for two days now. His former owners got him as a baby so I am only his second (and hopefully final) home. Bentley's dad passed away and due to major changes in his mom's life she had to give him up. I have known Bentley for several years and he...
