Hi All! My very beloved 19-year-old lovebird, Orville, is likely nearing the end of his good, long life, and I'm trying to look forward (and therefore find some hope and consolation). No one can ever replace Orv, but I cannot be without a little bird and have been thinking of parrotlets...
In February my family went to the store a baby parrotlet adapted us. I say that because he jumped in my son's hands and preceded to go from on member to the next and won us over. Lucky came home and settled in wonderfully. No biting or crying. Willing to try new foods. Great with the kids...
Hi there! Just looking for more advice since I'm driving myself up a wall with stress on making a decision. To keep a second bird, or not to keep a second bird...
I have a 2.5 year old parrotlet who has some issues (super hormonal right now and chewing off his feathers when he has some, also...
Well, I just got my new 7 week old parrotlet. We're settled into a nice 18x18x36L cage with room to fly, a few toys, some millet, perches, and a cuttlebone. Fully weaned and hand raised. Very talkative for a female.
One thing I'm never sure of is feeding. What's the best food out there? What...
Why I was looking at parrots and sugar gliders on Hoobly I found a 25 dollar parrotlet thats post says "Green parrotlet. Isnt friendly. $25 including cage"
I dont think a unfriendly, untame parrot would be good for a beginner but I dont think anybody will buy it if it says "unfriendly" Ive heard...
Im leaning towards a Green Cheek Conure as my first bird but I still have a few other choices. (sorry if i post too many "WHICH BIRD DO I GET??" kinda posts. I dont know how you guys are supposed to know which I should get XD) But still, I just wanna know your experience on these birds. Im home...
I am going to college in a few years, and because I will have less time to spend with my little girly (and I'd love another bird!) I was thinking of getting her a friend so she isn't all alone for most of the day. I can't trust my parents to give her the attention she needs daily, so as soon as...
She wants a bird and there's some parrotlets at a rescue. They have 3 pairs and a single one. Are they a good, easy bird to care for? If she gets bored with them (which she might. she's given me some of her other pets before, but she really loves my bird) I certainly would be fine with keeping...
So there's a bird rescue about an hour and a half away from me and yesterday my family went up their to see their birds because I want to adopt my next bird. I went to look at a Nanday Conure, but she didn't like me very much. So then he showed me some baby yellow indian ringnecks and a baby...
Hi,
I recently bought a 10.5 week old male parrotlet. He was hand fed and seemed very tame when I went to pick him up. He sits as close as he can to me in his cage, and if I open the door he comes right up to me and steps-up. However, he went from lightly mouthing my hand to just clamping on...
