What about room temperature. Should I keep the AC at 19°C or more ?

The main thing to consider is what temperature range the bird is ACCLIMATED TO. Outdoor aviary birds which are acclimated to it can live in much colder conditions than 18 celcius (64.4 fahrenheit). That being said, ideally, the temperature of the bird's environment shouldn't change more than 10-15 degrees within a 24 hour period. If it does once, don't worry about it. A healthy bird will stay healthy. Just keep in mind to keep temperature stable for the most part. Remember it has a lot to do with what they're acclimated to.

Also, I'm curious... May I ask why the air conditioner is set to 18 or 19 celcius in the first place? I don't know anyone who purposely sets it down that low on a regular basis inside the home.

I see. So does that mean when setting a/c on 16c, in reality mixed with the incoming heat, it is really not 16c? Then one would need a thermometer

No, it just means, that when you put it a x degrees, it doesnt mean that the entire room will be at X degree.. because its not that well insulated

I get it. Thanks.

he start eating from my hand directly now and stepping on my arm as well. Now I wonder if there any type of food that I shouldn't give it to him to eat . ?

 

[Ducatimom]

The main thing I've heard is no avocado (as far as procude goes). You can give him beans, but get the dry beans and boil them. If you want I can give you the recipe for Ducati's chop. It's great because you can put just about anything in it.

For his first batch I put 1 red bell pepper, a handfull of cilantro, some cooked regular (no flavor or butter) couscous about a cup to two cups worth, a cup of boiled garbanzo beans, and some dry rolled oats (about a cup).

It's really easy if you have a food processor. I have a little one so I basically chopped them up one at a time. I choped up the bell pepper, cilantro and beans since they were kinda big. Really you can eyeball everything.

For his second batch I did the same basic principle just with corn and carrots instead of bell pepper, and navy beans instead of garbanzo beans.

For 3 weeks now he is not cleaning up him self with water . I don't want to force him but also I don't know how to make him do it ....
Any idea ??

 

[Sterling1113]

If he isn't taking baths, try lots of different ways!
Warm water, room temperature water, cold water, cold water with ice cubes!
In a dish, in a shallow saucer, from a spray(mist) bottle, in the shower, in the sink, etc..

All mine shower differently. My green cheek bathes in a shallow dish. My white eared conure bathes in the sink with the tap running, and my pionus showers with me. They all shower with me on a regular basis, but those are each of their favorite ways to bathe.

 

[Ducatimom]

You're welcome!

For baths like Sterling said, there's many different ways to give one. Ducati doesn't like being sprayed with a mist bottle or having water dripped on him. I think he likes the shower however, I can't see him because he's always my head, but he doesn't run away and doesn't sound scared. I also caught him trying to bath himself in his water bowl so I had to go order a bird bath for him.

 

[mohd]

What is good for his feathers.. His tail need to grow it look very bad because of the cage that he used to be in before . Since I brought him he is outside of his cage . But still his tail look awful. I don't know what to do .

 

[Sterling1113]

If the feathers are beat up and broken he'll have to molt them and grow new ones naturally. I remember reading that alexandrines are more aware of their tails than some other birds like conures who frequently wear their feathers from playing rough, so once they grow in they should be fine if he doesn't chew them himself. most birds molt once or twice a year.

Really thank's all .. This website been helpful to me .. now we are friend me and Alex .. I wonder if I can give him juice like what we have from markets or what.?
