I've been working on her cage for ages. I have given her Custom pearchs of different textures and widths made with maple wood and cleaned before being placed inside the cage. I need to get her some more smaller toys currently there is only 2-3 the rest will be ordered soon. I'm very proud of it!
Hello everyone,
I'm so glad I've found this forum and I am hoping I've found the right community of people to help ..
My family Golden Blue Macaw, Mickey, suddenly and unexpectantly passed away on Saturday and my poor mum, Lisa, is in bits. Having a parrot for over twenty years is like having...
Hello dear bird owners, I've recently bought a 4 month old sweet Indian Ringneck 6 days ago, which the ex owner thinks is a male. He's super sweet, not aggressive and has been hand fed and domesticated. He has been eating and drinking fine, does his beak grinding before sleeping, chirps a few...
Hi,
we are currently finishing up the parrot house for our 4 macaws here in northern Thailand.
My question is if it makes sense, instead of having a concrete floor, to put a layer of soil in which would have (in my naive thinking) these advantages
1. Bacteria would take care of bird...
Hi! I'm new to the community and I'm hoping someone can tell me if my cockatiel's beak is normal? There seems to be a crack at the end of his beak, I'm not sure if its peeling or what, can somebody tell me if this is normal and if there's anything I can do to help him with his beak? Thank you!!
I wanted to share this tidbit of information I acquired today at - funny enough - work of all places.
The kind of work I do essentially requires me to know a lot about bad chemicals, where the bad chemicals tend to be, and how do we get the bad chemicals out. We mention different substances in...
Hi!
I hope i’m posting this right! I am looking for a bird on the medium/large size ( macaws, cockatoos, african grey, etc) near Massachusetts or surrounding states. I need one that is okay with being handled often and friendly. :white1:
And if anyone knows any nearby aviaries selling them or...
Hey!
My two IRN's are about a month old now and they're developing feathers. I got them when they were 12 and 14 days old and during that time all they did was eat, poop, and sleep which was understandable. But now the thing that's concerning me is even after being a month old they're still...
Im sure this topic has been discussed many times over but im new and not the best at navigating the forums. I recently got mango and shes awesome but she constantly screams while in her cage. I have seen many different suggestions but nothing is seemjng to help at all and sadly my wife is...
Hi! does anyone know any reputable places to buy java stands? Not just one specific size. I'm looking for small, large, and medium. All natural and safe to chew please!
Thank you and have a lovely day!!:D
Hey there, fellow parrot enthusiasts! I'm new to this forum, but I have a favor I would like to put out there.
I have been wanting an African Grey as a companion pet for a few years, but I have been holding off on the idea because my work schedule doesn't allow me to provide the necessary time...
So I've had my ringneck for around 4 days now and is pretty skittish and freaks out when I go too close to his cage. The current cage has bowls that I have to stick my hand into the cage to change and doing this causing my IRN to go crazy. So I've decided to upgrade to one that has dedicated...
Hello I'm new to parrot ownership. I finally got the opportunity to purchase a handled baby. The breeder took my deposit and I just waited for Rico patiently. At 2 weeks old the breeder surprised me with you need to pick him up next week or he will refund the deposit and sell the baby bird to...
Hi everyone,
We’re new here. We being my Blue Quaker Sugar Cookie, and me, mikki. Sugar for short is 5 months old. Almost 6. I call her a girl because of her size. She’s small for a Quaker, weighing in at 78 grams. Vet said she 100 percent fine. All her blood word is great. She’s just...
Hi, I am wanting to start breeding CAG birds sometime in the future and I am wanting to ideally buy 2 young birds and after afew years and they are old enough let them start breeding in my Avery. Just wondering at what age can I expect to see if the birds pair up? Like will they only start...
I have been volunteering for a parrot rescue here in Florida and love them! I have learned so much and now I am looking to find my forever parrot! I hope to learn more here and make new parrot loving friends!!
Hello. As you can tell by my username, I have a cockatiel named Pikachu. When we got him we had to go with a budgie cage because there weren't any bigger or better cages in the place we got him from. So I'm looking to buy a new, bigger and better cage online. I'm sure he's not enjoying his...
Just a note: Yes i know some people don't like flight suits but please don't leave hate in the comments. Thank you.
My ringneck has worn her homemade flight suit quite a few times, Maybe 3 or 4 in the past few days. Unfortunately since it's homemade we wouldn't condition her to it since we had...
Hello,
I've just recently changed location and there are many wild cockatoos here (Whitsunday islands in Queensland, Australia).
I've noticed that many of them have brown feathers around their beaks, and on their bodies too.
They look a lot like this...
Alright, today was the first time I scolded my IRN. Literally, after months and months of trying to build trust, being extremely patient to all sorts of biting and misbehaviour, and getting him used to his environment, he still has some absolute hatred for me.
Scratch that, it's not me, it's my...
Hi everyone!
New Quaker parent here :)
I've had my little Nova for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely ADORE the bones off her.
I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can answer for me if that's okay.
1. Taming
I've got budgies that I managed to tame myself and I'm guessing the...
Hello! I bought 2 months ago red-fronted parakeet (I don’t know if it’s correct in English, the Latin name: Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae) called Henry. But I made a mistake and I didn’t know a lot about parrots then so I trusted the shop owner of the pet shop. He said that the bird is very young...
Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I am truly looking for help since no vet has been able to help me properly so far and it's making me panic soooo much. A few months ago, my cockateil had something itching him to the extent of bleeding himself. I sprayed a medicine on him and gave him a good...
I have had this bird for quite a while, she is quite noisy at times but she's calm and won't trigger her yelling instincts unless provoked. i have had her out of the cage on regular basis, but i just cant find her a look alike.

I've been searching for a young, adult Macaw to have as my companion for what seems like ages. Even though Texas is a BIG state, it's a black hole for Macaws, apparently. Adult macaws in good condition are hard to come by.
I just want to find one to adopt to be my lifelong companion. I'm even...
Hi, I have an african grey that I adopted last year. The owner did not know where the african grey was bred. However, there was a leg band reading 7HH96V. The owner said that he was 18 or 8yrs old. I just need help decoding the band; 7HH96V. Any ideas where it was bred and how old it is...
Jacob my blue and gold macaw is finally on YouTube. I've been wanting to put his videos on YouTube but the videos from my phone camera came out sideways. I converted them with VLC but they don't upload to YouTube. If anyone knows of a better free converter that doesn't have adware or viruses...
I am wanting to see what you guys think about what this little guy is. The pet store that I found the little one in are not sure, which Is strange so I need some help!!
So, today I found parrot in the street which was in very poor condition. I do not know if he is boy or girl, or breed. I think he/she has a disease of beak, I gave him water and food and mineral blocks.
Recently I’ve noticed some feathers missing on my quakers left leg. The rest of his body appears to be fine but as the days have been passing more and more feathers have dissapeares off of his leg. I fear that he may be plucking, altough he hasn’t been acting out of the norm, so I’m also...
Hey folks,
I need help!! I have an 11 year old Meyers parrot. She has her own room, which is our spare bedroom with a wonderful view of the backyard and big old trees. She loves her cage, but she is constantly squawking!
If we leave her for more than 15-20 mins, she's squawking. We have been...
So, confession time, I've gotten lazy and uninspired in the toy department. Kermit was getting bored, but I just couldn't think of what she'd want to play with. I took a few stabs at it, but most things I made are apparently Very Scary (there is an empty pill bottle filled with cool little...
