Diesel bird

[foxgloveparrot]

Biting is one of the reasons I probably will not get a bird bigger than a cockatiel. It's something that parrot owner must accept. Parrots are not domesticated like cats and dogs and can be unpredictable. Plus they live such long lives. 30 to 50 years is a long time to own a high maintenance creature that bites hard enough to draw blood.

I ABSOLUTELY agree!! Parrots are only a few generations from the wild. Some people have ridiculously high expectations of them, which I feel is so unfair. This is a wild animal you're bringing into your home. They come with all of their wild behaviors, and YOU need to adapt to the parrot's needs, not the other way round.

Diesel is nippy. He will be completely good and playing around and the next second he is lunging at me. I am getting good at recognising his very subtle signs that his is going to bite me. And quick at getting out of the way. I keep his wings clipped bc that seems to help with his quick temper.

I have a black head caique who is very head strong but keeps us laughing. He is 6 years old and loves my husband and me. He hates our son and will chase him. His favorite thing to say is “what”. He calls my husband”hey buddy” and he calls me a sound that sounds like squirting spit sound. Lol…

Smokey just said his first mimic so Desiel mimicry is so funny to hear
