    Behavior Issues

    Hello! We recently rescued an anxiety ridden 10yr old dna female congo grey. Her name is Kiko and she's an extremely sweet and attention seeking bird...most of the time. She seems to prefer my husband, which isn't a big deal to me personally, but recently has been becoming rather aggressive...

    My IRN likes to eat flesh and has an addiction with cellphones

    As the tiles says he likes to bite into skin and eat it, whenever he sees a scab he never loses the opportunity to take it off and eat it, maybe he thinks its yummy but I want that to stop and whenever he sees a cellphone he can't stop chasing it and biting it . :oops: Any good tips on how to...

    My Conure keeps flying off after stepping up?!

    My Black Capped conure use to step up and stay like a pro. But as of late he keeps flying off every time he steps up. I’m not sure if he is afraid of us because we did trim his nails last week, but it’s nothing he hasn’t done before and we didn’t hit the quick and hurt him or anything. Also, he...

    Need Some Advice...

    I’ve had two 9-month old sun conures for the past four months, but I think not much bonding has been done still! My family says that they like me the best, they hop up the stairs to my room, scream for my attention when I walk in the room, and they really like being on my shoulders most of the...

    Helpless about our GCC

    Our green cheek Doc is about a year old and my gf and I just feel helpless. We think Doc's a male, so I'll just keep using that pronoun for the sake of simplicity. He doesn't show any symptoms of poor health, has regular sleep, good appetite and has been to our new home long enough to get...

    Green Cheek Conure Aggression

    Hi there! I adopted a beautiful young GCC (1 or 2 years old) just over two months ago, and he used to be the sweetest, cuddliest thing. However, within the past week or so, he has become very aggressive toward me--fanned out tail, screaming, and biting HARD whenever I even come near him. My...

    advice for taming pair of aviary cockatiels

    Hi everyone. I have found a person looking to rehome their cockatiels. They are adorable pair of male and female. However the owner says they haven't had time to tame them so they never leave their cage. My main concerns are: Would having a pair of untamed birds make taming them difficult? As...

    Anxiety and over-preening

    Hi guys, haven't been here for a long time. I have a question for experienced conure owners... My gcc Parry has terrible anxiety, all the time. He is always pissed off, makes these angry sounds at me and Coco (my lovebird), always wants to bite me, etc... He screams, bobs his head, draws lines...

    Behavioral or personality? Please help.

    I have a Sennie who is 13+ and has a tude beyond compare! He also can read my mind! He was a "mans" bird when we first got him...over 5 years ago. He would "hunt me down" and attack my feet if I interupted or joined them (my husband and Birdie) in whistling to/with each other!! That was when...

    Out of my depth with my rescued Macaw

    Hello! I am posting on this forum because I have exhausted all sources I had available to me and finally can admit to myself that I need help. Admittedly, as a first time bird owner I have needed help from day one but I didn't understand how seriously hurt my bird had been in the past. So I am...
