So, I have had to put my green amazon parrot in a bird boarding facility for the first time since I've had her (12 years). She was there for just under 3 weeks and they put her cage open in a larger cage, in between a macaws cage and a couple of cockatoos. They were not in the same cage but were...
Hello everyone. I am brand new to this forum, and hoping to find some fellow animal lovers to help me out. My husband surprised me with a pair of juvenile Indian Ring Necks just over 2 years ago. He was told that they "had not been socialized in awhile" and brought them home knowing I can tame...

Just wondering why the first chick hatched 2 days early. First egg was laid April 20th around 8-9am, and hatched a half hour ago. Hatch date wasn't supposed to be until Monday-Wednesday. Is this because the ambient temp in my apartment is warm? Certainly surprised me. Should I also expect the...
I need someone to tell me how to care for these baby birds. I've never bred birds before. I know that patience and time is needed, and I know that the lives of these babies are in my hands. Someone please tell me the next step! Thank you so much! :orange:
