new bird

Hello everyone :) My name is Leslie and I adopted a female Green Cheeked Conure two days ago (17 April). It's a silly little story - she was housed where I get most of my pet supplies - for about the last three months. And for those three months every time I went in I visited her and had a...

Ok so I just got a sun conure on Sunday night so I have had him for two full days. Yesterday he was really aggressive and scared whenever I would try to take him out of the cage and he bit me so I decided to leave him alone. I don't want him to bite me anymore so I tried to leave him alone...

Hello! I am new here, so I figured I should introduce myself! My name is April. I am a Junior at the University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I live with my boyfriend, Andrew, and two other roommates. My boyfriend and I actually met after my ex moved out of the house, and was replaced with Andrew...

Hi everybody. I am possibly getting a ringneck in March:D. From all my research:22: these guys have a charming and intelligent peronalty. The only problem is the breeder has not handled these guys lately :eek:(they are four months old will be Six months when I get mine) and I know they require...

After a long wait, yesterday I picked up my little Hahn's Macaw. I've named him Pocket for two reasons - one, is size, and two is from a breeder's description of Hahn's Macaws being "Pocket Rockets" We picked him up from the airport yesterday morning. It took him about an hour before he...

Hi everyone! I didn't think this would be the subject of my first post but unfortunately it is. I've been speaking with a breeder in OK for a couple of weeks now in regards to a Crimson Bellied Conure baby she has available. I was getting ready to put a deposit down on the baby after the 1st...

my christmas present this year is a Black Capped Conure! i haven't got him yet, as he's not fully weaned with his breeder.. i can't wait.. but now comes the difficult task of picking a name :confused: i like the name Louie.. but my mum doesnt.. now i'm going through star trek character names...

I've recently acquired a 3-month-old blue alexandrine who up until yesterday spent a week with my mom until I could bring him home (parents going through a divorce, long story...). I've been told by the breeder that one can tell the gender only after the alexandrine is 3 years old by the...

Well, there's a new member of my family as of last night. A beautiful little Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure came home with me last night. She's a little scared of hands, but didn't seem to be afraid to crawl up on to my shoulder. She's already eating this morning, which I'm very happy about...

Hello, this is my first post on ParrotForums! For the past few months I have really wanted a bird. After some research and the help of my brother, I decided that the Green Cheek Conure is for me. My parents have agreed that they will help me with the financial component of caring for a bird...

Hi, My name is Matt. My housemates and I "have" a maroon-bellied conure. His name is Mason, and he is slowly but surely becoming a terror bird... I'm gonna need a lot of advice.:confused:

A month ago I purchased a slate masked lovebird his name is Tolkien. He has his wings clipped, I bought him at the pet store so he wasn't hand raised. I live in Newfoundland so it is very hard to find a breeder of any sorts. They told me he's about 4 months old. He's adorable but the only...

Hey Guys, I'm so excited! I have only had Baby 2 weeks and every morning when I uncover her cage I say good morning. This morning she said it back! I was shocked that she could do that so quickly.. When she came home the only things she said was hello and oh boy tons of sounds but just those 3...

Hello, We may be bringing in a new AG to our abode sometime within the next two to three weeks and I would like to learn as much as I can to make the adjustment as easy and comfortable as possible for our new featherbaby. So I have some quick questions! Where, and on what, does your bird...

Hey all, My name is Michael and I just brought home a yellow-sided Green Cheek named Jonah! Right now he is munching on a grape and listening to some music with me. I made the mistake of putting my hand into "his" territory and he got me pretty hard, but I understand that he is just nervous...

Hi Everyone, Today the DNA results came back and I selected my new baby. HE is a yellow-sided green cheek conure. His hatch date was 9/23/10 and I guess he will be coming home to me in December. He is special because it is the first time the breeding pair had all 5 eggs hatch. He is lucky #5...

Hi all, from NYC! I just joined the Forum after months of following all the stories and information and it has been really valuable to me. My new baby is still being raised by his Mom and Dad and co-parented by an amazing breeder. He is a Green Cheek Conure (Yellow-Sided or possibly...

I brought my little guy home last night. He was in a aviary and not in a house. All the home stuff is new to him. He is 4 today. Of course he would not eat or drink. Today he is not eating, drinking or doing anything. Just sitting in one spot and turning around sometime. Yesterday he weighted...

I just brought home a Cherry Head Conure that my friend and the owner of Adventures in Birds is letting me have for a week to see if she would be a good addition to my flock ( last week my 11 year old Love Bird was killed ). This Cherry Head was the last of 5 babies that went to homes rather...

This is my first thread here,I just registerd cause I need some advise that couldn't find at anyone else's post. So here I go...:) I have a Cockatiel for about 5 months, not having a great relationship with each other, not that she (I think its a female) is scared of me. I just think she...

Hi, I recently bought a 10.5 week old male parrotlet. He was hand fed and seemed very tame when I went to pick him up. He sits as close as he can to me in his cage, and if I open the door he comes right up to me and steps-up. However, he went from lightly mouthing my hand to just clamping on...
