stressed

Hi guys new to the community, new to bird owning, A week ago I purchased a male red-bellied parrot from a reseller. Things have been going OK, he's a bit scared of me (he escaped from his cage and was caught with a net after flying into a concrete wall at the time of purchase) which I'm sure...

Hello, I am trying to figure out a good placement for my lovebird. I currently have him in the den of my apartment, which is a bit secluded from the living room and doesnt have any windows. I wanted to put him somewhere next to the windows of my apartment because I feel he needs more of a a...

Is this normal behaviour? First time bird owner!! Going to try and keep this as short as possible - I'm a new bird owner, got my 3-5 month old GCC (Yoshi) 2 weeks this thursday - I know this isn't a long time at all and I have not been rushing him to get comfortable with me and my family. Just...

Hello everyone! I am new to these forums and Im very glad I found it. Im going to be adopting a bonded, not breeding, pair of macaws from a rescue near me and I am a bit stressed over it. I feel as if once I adopt these two, they will pay attention to each other, and ignore me/not bond as...

Hi there! We just adopted a 30 yr old yellow crowned and would like some tips on how to make her move less stressful. We have 3 dogs and she seems to like them. They are the only ones she has talked to yet. She has begun wheezing a bit and will not relax her feathers. Any suggestions would...

So here is my story. I have always wanted a cockatiel and so forth but never could afford to fully buy one and all the stuff for them... like the cage toys and even the bird can be expensive at the pet store... so instead i settled with owning rats.... well long story short i was trying to find...

My boyfriend and I just got a Catalina Macaw yesterday. The previous owner said she has a habit of biting her feet and ankles extremely hard when she has tantrums. I'm assuming its because they didn't spend much time with her and shes in a new environment so she's stressed. Is there anyway we...

Hi, we just got a new blue fronted amazon parrot about 3-4 days ago. He is about 8 years old and his previous owners smoked. He is already starting to talk a little with us. He is also very responsive (turning his head and flaring his pupils when we talk to it). I do have a few concerns though...
