Hi all! I was feeling bored one day, and decided to make silly little parrot comics! I will be posting them all on this thread when I am done! :) If you tell me your parrot, their name, and personality then they may have a cameo in the comics. Any other ideas (and names) you have would also be...

Hi, I have had my Blue Fronted Amazon for a little under a year now. He has been suspected to have been sick 3 times so far so he has gone to the vet three times. His previous owners were extreme smokers so when we got him he completely smelled of smoke. He finished his medication for the third...

I just lost my young green cheek conure a few days ago, my little buddie left far too young. I've been starting some research for another bird in the new future. I've like what I've read about Jardines both in personality and size granted every bird is different. Problem is I can't seem to find...

Some local folks are interested in forming a parrot / avian club in Palm Beach County. There are currently no active clubs that I could find like this in PBC, but there are so many people with companion birds in the area. A nice local mom & pop pet store owner said she would be supportive in...

Yesterday was my first time in a PetSupermarket store. It is in S.E. Florida, Palm Beach County. They had 2 parrots in connected cages. One Sun Conure had been there about 4 months, and a Green Cheeked Conure about 3 months. Besides food/water, here what was in each cage: 1 short 3"-4" long...

Hello everybody! Our caique has broken its beak. We don't know how exactly it happened. He was flying to sit at the door and in this moment a small girl closed it. The upper part seems to be ok. The lower part lost all its kind of cover part. It went of like a cover. It was bleeding first day...

Ok so today I was cleaning out all my bird cages and the budgies were being particularly noisy today. The way my room is setup (until I move into the new place) LuLu can pretty much get around the entire room without flying as her wings are REALLY clipped. LuLu is still settling in so she hasn't...

I have a few other parrots, but Sam is our first big parrot && he just happens to be one of the most demanding parrot species. He belonged to my mother, she recently passed away. She asked me to take him, && I promised to do right by her. I knew I was going to be getting him soon before she...

Hello, I'm from Arkansas, full time student and petcare lead at petsmart. I have a Indian Ringneck, Quaker parrot, cockatiel, and a Moluccan Cockatoo.

Well let's start: I noticed that this is an awesome forum. I mean, it's an encyclopedia itself! But what I also noticed, is that it looks a bit outdated. I mean, do you remember how Windows 98 looked like, sharpy edges, gray theme, boxes here and there.... The forums need a different look, a new...

Hi we have a Blue fronted amazon parrot and he has free roam of the house, but we wanted to do something special for him. We are going to build him an inexpensive outdoor aviary. We already have wood for the frame of the aviary. Will this wire mesh work for the aviary? Shop Blue Hawk 48-in x...

So my medium sized parrot, which have been here since a month, is not sociable at all. He doesn't wistle, doesn't scream. Accepts treats from hand, accepts touches in certain timed but a good biter most of the times. I need to be provided with maximum help, please. I need links, videos, and...

Hello. I'm from Beirut, Lebanon. I got my parrot on 19th of May, a Jardine's Parrot, named Timmy. I had an African Grey like 10 years ago, when I was a kid, but he died for unknown reasons (Probably because we trimmed his wings two days before his death) and I wanted to start all over with...

So I'm trying to train my parrot (Jardine Parrot) not to bite me, by feeding him rice cakes when he doesn't bite me while I scratch his beak (through cage bars) But sometimes he licks my finger then close his beak on my ginger like biting it but he doesn't apply much pressure (it's not...

Since my cage door is a bit small, I decided to remove the ceiling of the cage, so the Jardine Parrot I brought 3 weeks ago could get outside, since he's always pushing himself through the bars. But he flew high in the room, flapping and flying. He bited my dad and it was chaos in the room and...

I just wanted to let any Brevard County or other interested Central Florida "Parrot Parents" about a new Meet-Up group. It's called Parrot Parents of Brevard. The group will host events once or twice a month; some FID Friendly and some just for the parents...you know...when they need a break...

Yesterday my parrot was liking my when I stroke his beak. Today I noticed while he liked me that his tongue's tip is kinda orange-ish. I don't know if that is normal, but it got me worried. He's been here since two weeks btw, and never been out cage. Is licking a good sign?

Is it safe to paint a parrot's nails? I painted one claw (of our Blue Crowned Conure) without really thinking about it... X( I held him for a while and made sure it was dry before leaving the room, and I've checked on him and he doesn't seem to be picking at it. And I did it quickly in a...
