Hi so I have a well I believe 1 year old conure, (we don’t know the exact age) and her diet is mostly just a mix of seeds and a bit of pellets. And I want to make sure I could give her a better diet. Using vegetables fruits etc. I really need help and any recommendations are fine!
So, I’ve noticed how expressive our feathered gremlins are, especially my own, and it’s so funny to me. They literally have little eyebrows and it looks like they can smile or frown, it’s so funny and interesting! Let’s see some pictures of your feathered gremlins and goblins giving their...
For my sister's birthday, she wanted a bird. Obviously, we knew I'd be the one caring for him, considering she's 4.
We went to Adventures in Birds in Houston to get him. (The store was fun, but why did they do this?)
1) She's really good at picking out beautiful birds. She knew EXACTLY which...
So, i have been taking Rico outside into the sun for a couple weeks now, letting him hang out there in a travel cage for an hour. Well, with the arrival of cricket, she’s been coming out in her cage to sit next to him. With Rico, I have been noticing that his feathers are shinier, he seems...
These are my favorite art pieces! (Excluding the Astronymphicus, it already got its own page)
So, here is what I have done!
1. DYHA
2. Blue and Gold Macaw

5. Lutino Cockatiel

Hi all,
I have 2 male quaker parrots (1yo & 3yo). They have been eating a new frozen vegetable mix for the past 2-3 days. I only just noticed that the mix contains onion pieces. They have been leaving behind these pieces (thought they were cauliflower scraps or something before) in their bowl...
I've gotten a new Conure. It's been really difficult though. Unlike my first bird, it seems to be scared of hands. It's hard to tell if it's tamed or not. It allows pets, but runs away and bites hands. I've gotten 4 nasty bites from it already. I'm not sure how to approach this. My first bird...
Hello, I got a Conure about a week ago and since today he's been a bit jumpy with me and my hand. He loves to preen me but runs away when I try to make him step up. He's barely even stepping up when I am using treats. He was doing fine the other day, but now he's got a fear of my hand. Who...
I have been searching for a while. I guess it doesn’t cost a thing to try and look for help in this forum! I would Love to adopt or receive a Macaw in my home. I’m Located in Central Florida but I’m willing to travel. It is welcome any help I could get! Thanks
I have had my budgie for like 3 - 4 months and i worked with him to be comfortable with me and my hand. He was stepping up and accepting millet from my hand. I wanted to start target training him and teaching him tricks. But in the past 2 weeks he has gone backwards and has started biting my...
Hi my cockatoo has recently thrown up he threw up twice last tuesday while i wasnt in the room and its been a week yet hes thrown up again around the same time a week later just wondering if i should take him to a vet (closest one is only in on fridays so 3 days) or wait it out he has pretty...
Okay! here we are arround the 1 year mark with rascal the umbrella cockatoo.
Today my and my handsome and stinky boy took a shower together (its not weird I promise ill explain later) and then went outside to lay in the sun and dry. now he's watching me from his perch with his little cheek...
I was given a macaw for my birthday, January 26 that I was very unprepared for. Kiwi is my adorable harlequin macaw. Her birthday is August 13 and she is about 6 months old. She has her own room with her cage taking up 95% of the space. I want her to have the best life possible so I'm trying to...
Ok so, as some of you might know, I was given a macaw as a surprise gift (Warning: NOT A GOOD IDEA) but either way, I read you can take showers with your birds. I also know birds are particularly sensitive to scented things. If I have scented shampoos should we get rid of them? Are there certain...
I have a GCC that is about to turn 1.
I'm away from the house a lot for school and I'm scared he's getting lonely.
Should I wait another year or so or just try now?
And, what type of bird should I adopt, if I do get another?
My bird had a bad experience with the harness and I really want him to get used to it. He runs away from even the sight of it! I have it dangling on a perch by his cage but it doesn't seem to be working.
Help!
I have a limit of 98$ to spend on bird things (Yes, I have to make myself a limit) in this month.
So, I can either spend it all now on a new air purifier or borrow one from a friend, and still have money for toys.
Now, I know that sounds dumb because I can just take it from my friend, but...
A couple of days ago my landlord removed some rats from my attic. I know it's not unusual for rat mites to leave their host and search for a new one when the rats pass. I think I'm just being paranoid, and Juliets' not acting any different than usual, bit I'm curious of anyone has ever heard of...
