Yes she is getting her luxurious home tomorrow.. i have read that they love to chew.. so i will get her some little chewable toys & stuff :) .. yes i can take her to Vet, should i? is she looking ill? please let me know i am really worried now
 
You should always take a new parrot to an Avian vet when you first get it. May I ask where you are from? Did you get the bird from a reputable source and was there any form of a contract? What I mean is, if you take her to a avian vet and she has a disease , can she be returned for a full refund?

I am just trying to understand the big picture so that we can better help you take care of your baby!

after knowing the place i belong to you will have a better idea on how cruel the things are here.. Actually i am from Pakistan.. No contract.. No Refund etc.. i will still keep her if she has a disease... i will take her to vet this weekend..
 
Ok, at least now we have an idea.

It is really important that you do get her to the vet this weekend. In the meantime, try to put the cage in a place where the bird will not get startled. You simply want her to be comfortable. It may even take a bit before she even eats or drinks in front of you.

Just as you are trying to understand her, she is trying to understand you. Be patient, gentle and speak softly. Remember that once she becomes fully comfortable with you and has accepted you into her flock, she will still be a "wild" bird and at times may still act up and scream, bite, etc. Birds are birds and you now live in her world.

Aweome tips Molly :) much thankful..
 
Welcome-- you're in the right place. I saw in your original post that you are from Pakistan! Many here are in the US, but plenty from all over the world. It seems that in many countries the conditions that birds are sold under are quite poor, but you seem to be seeking the right path for your new avian family member by getting her a new cage and seeking support from others who are experienced. Good work! Keep us posted and as time passes post specific questions here and people will gladly answer.

Remember-- patience is 100% critical! it may take weeks or months but with the right care and attention she will bond to you.

She's a beautiful bird! We'd love to see pictures of the new cage when you get it. I found Puck a huge cage second hand, for a very good price. If you buy a used one, you have to make sure the bar spacing is right for the bird (so they cannot fit their head through the bars), and that there is no rust.

Parrots are different than dogs and cats because they are not really domesticated. Most parrots are only a generation or two or three from being wild caught (and unfortunately, some are still caught in the wild). They are basically wild animals that you have to make friends with. They are very emotionally sensitive creatures, and they need their feelings respected a lot.

It sounds like you care a lot. :)
