new home

My partner and I have had our Quaker parrot Milo for around 8 months now. He was a rehome from a pet store at around 18 months old when we got him, after being surrendered to the pet store. We have recently purchased a green cheek conure at 1 years old. Milo was already reasonably calm and...

Hi everyone! I've normally been able to figure out most of my bird related problems pretty easily before but I'm having a hard time with my current issue. I just got my jenday from my family who'd been taking care of him for me until I finished graduating college, and I'm trying to figure out...

Wondering what the best practice is for a new bird in your home. Do people quarantine them in a room by themselves or put straight out in the living space? The bird's final destination will be my home office. But for now I thought putting her out where we all our in the summer was a good...

Hello! Firstly I just wanted to mention that I'm new to this forum and as a family we're new to birds in general! We recently had an encounter with n incredibly friendly young green cheek conure at a pet store and we all fell in love! Our 16 yo daughter in particular! After doing a lot of...

I have been referencing this forum (which I am very impressed with) for a few weeks now to track down answers I have been seeking but have now come across one that cannot be answered and so officially created an account in order to have my current questions answered. I recently adopted a 15...

My husband and I are moving into a new built home very soon. It still has the new home smell from the construction, etc. I've been ventilating as much as I can, but it is winter so the temps are not as high as summer will be when it can get into the 100's and high humidity that can bring about...

I recently adopted a 4 year old cockatoo. Recently meaning yesterday. I have some experience with them as I am a pet sitter but without doubt have a ton to learn. The person that I got her from is a client of mine. Molly (the bird) has always been very sweet to me when I was caring for her. Her...

Hi I'm Jay and a new soon to be conure mum! I am very excited and looking forward to having my bird and ready to give her the forever home she deserved. :) A little about my bird. She is currently un-named at this point as I can't decide what to call her! :confused: She is four years old and...

Hi everyone. My brother just moved out of the country and sadly he had to leave his adorable GCC with me for a while. We are planning on getting him a bigger cage to play in until he starts trusting me enough to take him out of his cage. Is this cage suitable for Conures? Amazon.com : Prevue...

We recently adopted a 13 year old sun conure. He was with his former parents for almost his whole life. I sit by his cage at least 3 times a day, reading and talking to him, for about 1-2 hours per setting. He is not cage aggressive I don't think. I do put my hand in his cage so that he can come...

Hello, I've just joined this forum so I'm trying to get used to it (took me ages to work out how to even post a forum haha) anyway, one of our neighbours has a family member who has needed to make a big change in his life by re-homing his beautiful 3 year old amazon parrot. My family were...

HI, I am recently owned by a 8month old Triton Cockatoo named Maggie May. She was previously had by a 12 yr old boy who adored her but his sister was highly allergic. She was my early bday present from my husband. I asked all the right questions and was told she was a sweet good natured baby...

I have an 11 week old Female Eclectus. She's been with us for 7 days now. I'm worried that she is not eating enough fruit and veggies, as well as water. I put fresh water and veggies out after every feeding (6 hourly). Morning feedings are a bit more difficult and time consuming,(I've had to...

This is my 93 yr old mother in laws bird that has bonded with me over the years. I'm moving her to my home now. The trip will be 10 hrs in a cage that is very large and fitted with 2 large purches and food and water. Question is about what to expect when she gets to new home new cage. I will...
