Hello my all my name is frank and I just adopted a male eclectus his age is six years old. His former flock could not care for him anymore. So we now are happy to have him in our family. His name is rowdy cowboy. I came to this forum to get advice to getting him to open up. It seems like he was well looked for a couple of years. Then later his former family just left him in his cage. So I'm looking for way for him to open up. This is our first rodeo.

So you can’t beat a summer afternoon with friends or entertaining your loved ones outdoors. We can suit you with the weather conditions which have changed dramatically.

Hi, I've been reading avidly because I know I'm going to need a lot of advice from now on. I've adopted a seven year old Lesser Sulphur Cockatoo - hand reared, loves to be petted. But - and there has to be a but, right? - he will bite to get his own way. In the past five weeks he's been through four homes and mine makes five, so I'm expecting problems. I'll post in the cockatoo section soon with more details and requests for advice.
I've been around birds all my life, handreared and nursed all sorts of British wild birds in the years I did rescue and rehab. I'm most familiar with the crow family, so I'm familiar with intelligent manipulative birds in general but my only parrot companion has been a Hahn's Macaw.

[gvstone]

Just wanted to stop in and say hi. In research today I found information on the Greater Vasa parrot right here! Petoskey is new to me and just want to keep things going the right direction. There are so few gv owners which makes it hard to gather information.

Nice to meet y'all.

Hi I'm also new. I did post a few threads already. While I may not know much, I am keen to learn from the experienced bird owners. Started off with 2 budgies named sunshine and avo. Got them a friendy named romeo. Recently became mommy to the quiet drawn back Snowy, albino IRN. In 2 weeks the change has been tremendous she went from shy scared bird to cheeky dame that's starting to say hello! Her previous owners said she bever made a sound but for a few clucks! I think the amt of attention she gets from me has made this difference. Still working on taming or rather getting her to trust and want to be with us! Yesterday a friend brought me... A gorgeous 4 month old IRN baby boy! Oh joy! He's so nosy and alert to all I do, he's aptly been named buster! Cause of the look at me attitude. Then I also have 2 gorgeous enormous dogs and a teensy little white mouse named baby! Lol. Look forward to great advice and sharing on this Forum.

Hello!

I am equally as new, and looking forward to learning much from this forum.

Of interest, I am soon to embark on my breeder-journey of the wonderous Hyacinth macaw , with an aim to shed light on breeding principles to improve the quality of life in captivity.

The aim is simple: produce less in-cage 'trophy' birds, and more out-of-cage companion pets!

Looking forward to gauging the views of all involved in parrot care.

new member, although i owned a cockatiel for the last 7yrs, he recently died, i knew i needed another bird, i recently gotten tiko a 2yr old sun conure a beautiful little guy, he trying to warmupto me, he will step on my hand but since he has bitten me a couple of times i have been putting a sock on my hand to bring him out of his cage, he seems to be warming up as he will take food from me, and while i am puting new stuff in his cage he hasn't tried to nip or bite, should i just keep talking to him and offering him treats from my hand, and is the sock over the hand thing something i should not do, as i do want him to step up on my hand, should i be using a dowel for this? please advise.

Welcome to the forums you are on the right path with your conure just keep doing what your doing with him and I'm sure in no time your little guy will be your best friend

Hi everyone. I am new here. Birds that I have love and lost over the years include 2 Lutino Teils Sunny and Sweetie, a Quaker Peek-A-Boo, and a Grey Emma. I am now the proud owner of a spirited little canary winged parakeet/Bee Bee parrot. She will be 6 months old on August 22. I am so thrilled to haver found my rare little treasure who my 8 year old son named Tsunami.

Can someone help me with posting a picture of her next to my screen name. It doesn't seem to be working so I must be doing something wrong. Thanks and I look forward to getting to know more about you and your birds.
