[stefano]

Hi guys! My name is Stefano and I'm a new bird owner, though I've been researching companion birds for years and have experience with lots of other animals. I live with my parents and sister at home--at their insistence and mine--and we all have a small zoo together (An aviary of 18 doves, 3 dogs, a flying squirrel, two bunnies, a hamster, two bearded dragons, and a snake) and now I have three birds in my room.

I have two green-cheek conures (Skittles and Gandhi) and a white-fronted Amazon named Zoe. I love them all like my own children.

I recently adopted Zoe from a family that didn't pay any attention to him (they thought Zoe was a girl, hence the name) and he was almost completely featherless when I got him. They have started to grow back and he hasn't plucked a single feather since day one!

Okay, I'm talking too much. I just wanted to say hi!

Dear All,

First of all well done for this site. I am a new member and unfortunately this spring I have just experienced a parrot breeding nightmare.

I have a pair of ringnecks and a pair of jenday conures. Both of them laid eggs (ringnecks 4 and jenday 3) and started their incubation period.

Both of them eceeded there incubation time (i.e approximately 23 days), and I was shocked with what I saw.

I broke the eggs and I found all 7 chicks (all formed with beak, wings, legs) dead in their eggs.

Can someone tell me what went wrong as I feel that this is an experience which I do not want anyone to experience :20:.

Thank you for your time.

Adrian

Hello and thank you for the warm welcome. I have never joined a forum before so just be patient, ok. LOL
I have an African Grey that was left to me in a friends will. Tony is a wild catch and the lady before me could not do anything with him, but he does talk. I have made great progress with him. I work with him in the mornings, so far I can get him to step up on my hand and I think he thinks I am his mate. Tonny will even regurgatate food on my hand or my lips (yuck). I love him just the same. Next I will try to get him to come out of his cage.
I am also in the progress of getting 2 Gofin Cockatoos, cannot wait to meet them. Sorry so long winded.

Hello! My name is Emily, and Tango is my Green Cheek Conure. I just got him yesterday morning and he's so cuddly. I wasn't expecting him to be so social with me for at least a few days, but he's already falling asleep at the nape of my neck, tucked in my hair. ^^ Makes me feel really special, to be honest.

Anyway, it's nice to meet everyone!

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I have a few parrots (but want more of course!), and I also keep dogs and various reptiles and amphibians.

Hope to get to know you better!

[Sindi]

Hello everyone.

My name is Sindi and I am the guardian of an adorable little 8 month old CAG named Enzo. Since I am still a relatively new 'Mom' I still have some questions and concerns regarding the proper care of Enzo, despite all the books I have read. They were a great help, but I still need some advice and guidance.

I just wanted to introduce myself first, before I come with all my questions!! LOL!

Regards,

Sindi

 

[tis_herself]

Hi, My Goffin and I are new here. I hope to learn everything I can to take care of her the way she deserves. I adopted her in January from a prev. owner. I was shocked to find out she has feather-chewing issues and didn't loose her feathers over-nite like her prev. owner claimed, (from molting). When I took her to the vet, I spent quite a bit of $ on a blood test and visit to find out there wasn't much I could do, she is medically in good health as far as I know. I am excited to be a new member and gain valueable advise from all of you..

Hi everyone! My name is Abby and I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have a Yellow Collared Macaw named Gus, who I have had since 2003. I adopted him from a woman who was getting married and whose fiance did not like birds. We formed a close bond and I worked with him on behavioral issues left over from his previous owner. He's fiesty, but has a big personality! I also have a rescue Sun Conure named Maui that I have only had 3 weeks. He was fully flighted his whole life (he is a young adult) and so he is adjusting to living with clipped wings. He loves my husband, and snuggling in my long hair. I love birds, and have my childhood pet, Petey (a budgie) to thank for that.

Things I do for fun are pretty much spend time with my family and my flock! Oh, and riding my bike!

[superamy7]

Hullo everyone! I am not new to forums, nor to bird ownership, but I am new to bird forums! I have a 3 year old Lilac Crowned Amazon named Sparklebird (I know...it was just sposed to be Sparkle, but that didn't stick as well and now all she calls herself is "Sparklebird"). I know I am doing some bird things right (pellets and fresh foods, big cage, out of cage time, showers, toys, human interaction, trips to school, etc) but I know there are lots more things I could be doing or doing better.

I am hoping to pick up on tips and tricks, as well as ideas for keeping my sweet birdy happy and engaged in life!

 

[diazkim]

Hi everyone~
My name is Kim and I live in NJ. I just purchased 2 macaws (1- Hahn's & 1- Severe). They are both newborns, so they are still with the breeder being hand-fed. I will be able to take the Hahn's home in July (2011) and the Severe home in August.
I visit them every-other day so we are able to bond with ease. Denise, from Fancy Feathers Aviary in Caldwell NJ is awesome. Whenever I have a question, she doesn't make me feel stupid for asking e.g. do you cover the cage every night?
I can't wait until everyone is home.
Kim~

 

[chika]

Hi guys, I'm new here and this is my first forum! So hang in there with me while I learn how to use it and everything... XD I'm excited to get to meet all of you.
I'm 14 and I have a 9 month old green cheek conure named Chika and she's my first bird, so I am no bird expert, though I do know a lot about parrots. I can't wait until I can get another bird! I want an Indian Ringneck Parakeet next. Chika is a moody little thing--she'll put her foot up in the air to be picked up and then two minutes later she'll bite for no reason! But I love her nonetheless. She's smart and has just learned to talk. She can say "step up" and "hello," but neither are incredibly clear.

 

[P chan]

Hello, there. It is nice to meet you.
I am P chan living in Japan. I am not a native English speaker. So I am afraid that my English sounds very funny. Besides, I don’t understand how to use this forum very much due to my poor language ability. However, would you mind if I joined you?
I would like to make many friends who love birds all over the world.
I am currently living with two lovebirds, one cockatiel and one budgerigar. Also, I have many bird friends at a bird shelter near my house. I sometimes do volunteer work there. I enjoy playing with many pretty birds like macaws, cockatoos, parrots, conures, quakers, and caique etc. I really love them.
Could you tell me about your beloved bird(s)? I would be happy if you would give me a message.

P.S. When my English sounds funny, please tell me and teach me. I really appreciate your help.
