My Parrot

My green cheek somehow managed to find a blue crayon. I haven't found the crayon itself, but she definitey chewed on a blue one because her beak is blue and she smells like crayons. I doubt she actually ate it, but she definitely chewed it. I know crayons are non toxic since they are made for...

Hi! I'm new so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Breanna and I live in a small town near the mountains in North Colorado. I share my room, and my heart, with an almost 3 year old White Faced cinnamon pearl cockatiel. She has her own youtube channel because she's so adorable that I'm...

I'm getting a cinnamon green cheek conure from a pet store that I trust (I got my other green cheek from there over a year ago). She's just a baby, so I've been waiting about 2 months to take her home and soon I can. Today when visiting her, I noticed that the skin around her eyes was slightly...

I just noticed that my green cheek conure, Shado, has a white spot on the tip of her tongue. It's a pretty good size, like a safflower seed but round. Maybe even a little bigger. She keeps making chewing noises too. She's still eating and drinking and I've been trying to get her to eat veggies...

Hello! I have a sun conure from January. I'm considering moving to Australia in the future and I know that it's impossible to take my parrot with me. I read that in the future it may be possible to import parrots to New Zealand. Birds can be relocated from New Zealand to Australia but is this...

hello, I am a beginner bird keeper and one of my love bird pair have laid eggs recently, but the problem is I don't know how long has the female been nesting its been 20+ days I guess now, and the female has left the nest now and the eggs have not yet hatched. I am very worried. I don't know...

Hello I am new here since I am a new parrot owner. I took the time and dedication to study before getting a parrot. I got my Coco from Craigslist about a month and a half ago. He is an African ringneck about 10 months old. I have a cage, toys, and perches. He is able to be out and about all day...

Hello and greetings from Hungary. I'm a "new" parrot owner (I had a few kinds of birds many years ago though), and I've got a young (probably 4-5 months old?) Cockatiel 11 days ago from a pet store. Situation is the following: The first 2 days Cookie was upset and scared, which I found normal...

Hey everyone, I'm experiencing something rather unsettling, was wondering if any of you ever have the same thing. Lately I've been having recurring nightmares about parrots. It's not the parrots that are scary, it's actually me. For example, last week I dreamt that, apart from my lorikeet, I...

so here in california there is an exotic bird franchise (or so i believe) called Omars exotics. Ive nevr really had a problem with them and this post is not meant to attack them or anything, but i recently noticed that in there seed blends they include cat kibble? I cant recall the percent but...

So my family has had this parrot for about 10 years and I'm ashamed to say she wasn't given the attention she deserved. She is well cared for and healthy though, she does suffer from minor allergy issues though. To get to the point, I've been meaning to tame my parrot and maybe get her to the...

Hi guys! I'm new to the forum and to the bird world. A week ago, I got a 17 year old blue and gold named Gilligan (Gilli for short). His owner gave him to me with his cage and everything for free, so I thought I was lucky. But she did tell me the reason she was rehoming him was because she never...

I have an alexandrine parakeet named SWEETU.:green2: he is soooo adorable and a talkative bird. I used to say him, 'Pretty Birdy' and 'Good Boy' but he is so intelligent. Now he says 'Pretty Boy' lol :D Sweetu is so mannered. When the maid finishes her work i.e. cleaning his cage and utensils...

How well do you know your bird? I decided it was important for me to write a profile for my bird, not only for myself, but also if I ever need to have someone watch the bird, (or if for some reason the bird ever needs to be rehomed), the caretaker knows more about his background and personality...

Can a parrot be "hand fed tame" if I start hand feeding formula at weaning stage? I've read that there are two stages to hand feeding parrots: 1) newborn hand feeding - which is separating them after certain number of days and feeding them formula. 2) weaning hand feeding - After they start...

Before you say anything, I meant "smart" in relative term to how WE perceive intelligence - such as how much they recognize us as their caregivers and friends, how much more likely they are to learn new tricks, etc. (I don't care if finches are better nest building artists than African Greys)...

Hey guys, I've had Dokey for 4 years now, he talks, we play together, he's completely confident with me, he lets me touch him wherever. He loves playing with me. But he is scared of everything...from a keychain to a chair. I've seen people's parrots sit on the backs of chairs and playing...

Hey everyone, So echo has never liked pellets before and hates eating them. Its a mission to get him to eat pellets. He literally doesn't eat for days at a time because he doesn't like them. He will eat almost anything else but not his pellets. I'm just wandering is there any types of pellets...
