Hello i had ventured to the pet store to get my first bird a budgie I was told he is 8 weeks old and they had just got them in as a shipment. So my little budgie has been home for about Two days already he started chirping on occasion around the second day of him being home. When i go in to...

I recently created a detailed thread on my experience with my first time ever cockatoo. In the thread I discussed that I was probably moving too fast letting him out his cage to explore the room he was in and having him go on my bed. This is a cockatoo that was very rarely out of cage due to...

I have an 8 month old peach-faced lovebird that I got yesterday. It got given around and went back to the pet shop, and was hand-fed, so it's already used to being handled. It doesn't like it when I reach for it, but when the door is left open, it jumps out and onto my shoulder. Sometimes I pet...

So, we've had Idris for a month now, and if anyone remembers my previous thread, we took her from a pretty abusive and neglectful home. I think we've made good speed in our progress with her, all things considered. She is around 6 months old, so I know we have a couple years to go in hormonal...

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3454110187788 this morning i was up early and videoed nut, mostly to test the phone in the video, the language is so subtle, and there are times it can be missed, because of the mirror you can see the facial feathers, some times she will look at me with the...
