Hello, I am Laura, new here, I have two parakeets, Cleo (KiKi) as nickname, and Lotus (LoLo) nickname. Cleo was given to me/rescued after being in a very abusive, traumatic environment, she also escaped her cage for 60hrs before I rescued her so it's been a LONG almost everyday process...

Hello everyone! I decided to join parrot forums because I've been lurking and reading posts but wanted to make a post of my own. I grew up with birds and have always had a soft spot for feathered friends, so when I saw Miss Mango I knew she just had to be mine. She was born in August and I got...

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...

Okay, so my name isn't really Hermia, but I thought it was fitting to choose a user name from the same Shakespeare play from which I took my bird's name. I have been following the forum since I first started researching the possibility of bringing a parrot into our lives, about three years ago...

Hi, I’m a bit of a new bird owner, I only got my parakeet six months ago, Her name is Adaline and she isnt yet 1, I’m not sure how old she is exactly but she was very young when I got her. I’m getting a bit concerned about her recent behavior because she has always been very friendly and open to...

Hi everyone, my name is Martin and I am joining along with my two lovebirds Whiskey and Nebula. :blue2::whiteblue: They´re blue, just born last year (June and September) and absolutely amazing. I wanted to join this forum to talk some more to other lovebird owners and get more experience...

I decided to join this forum because I thought it would be great to read other peoples experiences owning an Indian Ringneck. I am not planning on getting one until next year, if I do still think the IRN is the right bird for myself and my family. I am almost 23, married stable job and have a...

Hi! As you can see by my username, I have a pet Galah x Corella (otherwise known as “Apricot Galahs”) who is the literal spawn of the Devil (sometimes). I have done a little research on his specific cross breed but I have found very little information on them. Which is how I came across this...

I’ve never posted anything to a forum before so hopefully this will turn out alright. I’m new to the role of parrot ownership, my current bird being my first. I’m like a new mother and nervous about every little thing that “goes wrong”. Arugula or “Rue” is my rescued cinnamon green cheek conure...

Hi everyone, I own a 9 week old sun conure named Sammy. I thought it would be a good idea to join because I love to learn all about conures. I'm so excited to see him grow and learn, he has so much personality already!

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...

Hello everyone! I am new to the site, and new to large bird ownership. I have had plenty of small and medium birds (cockatiels, lovebirds, parakeets, etc) but recently adopted my first large bird. He is a 12-15 year old Blue front Amazon:green::). His temperament seems good for the environment...

Hi, My name is Linus. I am the owner of a 5 year old Congo African Grey. I came to this place seeking help to stop my Grey from plucking. It is difficult for me because I was stupid enough to get her as my first parrot and she does not like me (bites me real hard), so it's hard to do anything...

I'm new to the bird world! I have adopted a Congo African Grey. Her name was Carmen originally, so we kept it. I love all sorts of animals, but like I said, I'm a beginner bird owner. I joined this website for a little guidance! I've done tons of research, especially before adoption. I can take...

I've been thinking about making a new addition to the family. I'm just now seriously researching which type of parrot would fit for me. I'm home a lot and have a lot of space. Money is an issue so I wondered what the monthly fees and vet bills look like. I would like to offer premium care so...

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am quite new to this forum other than using it for research prior to me getting Kona, but this is my first formal introduction!!! I had researched macaws and birds for months and finally purchased Kona, a 13 year old B&G from a lady rehoming her birds out in...

Hi everyone, New member here! My name is Andrew and my girlfriend and I are the proud parents of a very special 3yo white-bellied caique named Murphy. We rescued him along with the sweetest green-cheeked conure who sadly is no longer with us. For now it's just Murphy, but we just adopted a blue...

New to the forum here and just saying hello to everyone. My name is Kavish and I'm located in Trinidad and I'm the proud new owner of two Amazons. Not particularly sure what sub species they are as I received them from a cousin who migrated and had recently acquired them. The larger of the two...

Hi! I recently found this forum and I love it! I don't actually know anyone with a bird so it seems great for getting advice and tips. I am a teen girl who owns a 7 year old male peach faced lovebird, or more he owns me. His name is Osky and he mainly loves to snuggle and destroy things like...

I got my first parrot back in November of last year (Nix is a blue quaker/monk parrot) and I noticed a little while back he would hang around the left corner of his cage and just chew at it. I know cage chewing it something we can't control but I didn't realize that he was actually eating the...
