    Question on causes of yeast infection in parrots?

    So just got Kermit's results back from the vets for her yearly visit, and they look awesome!... sort of. Her blood and metabolic panel came back very well. She has no sign of infection, deficiencies, etc. Except from her gram stain, the testing lab found "many" yeast. Kermit had this issue...

    How to discourage "frisky" behavior with toys?

    Hey all, Spring is in the air and Kermit is loving a lot of her toys... literally. She's coming up on 3 years so she's already passed her initial puberty monster. But she's rubbing up on a lot of her toys. I try to remove suggestive toys as she rubs up on them, but this feels more reactive vs...

    A little progress in the harness training department...

    For background info, Kermit and I have had a long and frustrating road with the harness. We started off with some decent progress, she plateaued, then started making some progress, then completely reverted to fearing it and we had to start from scratch. I'm not the world's most consistent...

    Kermit VS Vet, Round 2

    It seems to be the season for vet visits in the conure section... I opted to take her in 4 months early. Lately I've been having a funny feeling about her health. Sometimes I worry she's not active enough, or the occasional bubble in her poop, and in light of the seizures in January I'm...

    Missing my little conure buddy :c !

    Kermit is 100% okay and well, but I had to board her due to some unexpected construction. We're hauling out of the house either tomorrow or Tuesday and staying in a hotel... and weirdly, no hotel would in our area would let us bring Kermit with us (but dogs are fine... don't ask, I don't get it...

    Ug, Not again x___x

    Just when I was doubting our little Christmas fiasco was a thing of the past, Kermit greeted me home today with a birdie seizure. When she had one last Christmas, we had her fully assessed by an avian vet and her blood work, fecal, & gram stain all came back normal. There's no clear sign...

    Updates on Kermit the GCC !

    I got Kermit early July and what a cutie that bird is :D * now knows step up, 'kisses' (and will even make the kissy noises back at you, especially if you offer a cheek), and wave. Was once kinda potty trained, then we got lazy and accepted the bird poop. * has an impromptu playstand! My...

    Introductions ! Kermit the Green cheek

    A few days ago I was asking advice about bringing a GCC home and here he is ! As promised a formal introduction to the little guy. He was sold under the title of 'fancy GCC' which apparently is a general term for any sort of mutation from the normal type. He appears completely normal to me...
