Hi! I have a question. I buy parrot vitamins for my birds. I have several. My question is this, can parrots have vitamin supplements that have been marketed for poultry? They are less expensive and I can get them locally, rather than having to order them on line. I also raise chickens so I get...
So basically how you play this, is you answer a question each day (day 1= question 1 and so forth). You can do multiple birds of course! Hopefully in a little while there will be a nice collection of bird stuff! This is also a way you can make sure you and others are caring for their/your birds...
Greetings everyone!

Here is the picture (male on the right)
I'm curious to know what are the color mutations that may come out of this pair. Also, what are the pair called.
I'll add some pictures of the...
Hey! Okay so I'm new here and I'm also a new mother to two baby ringnecks who are just a month old. (Yes, I have learnt how to properly handfeed them and I have been handfeeding them since they were 15 days old) I'm in India so it's pretty common to adopt baby birds.
So since I come here for...

On Sunday I went to a bird sanctuary called the World of Birds in Hout Bay, South Africa. I took a bunch of photos of the gorgeous parrots they had there. I'm not a great photographer, but here are some of my favourites:

So, I received a military macaw around a month ago from a friend who couldnt care for it because she was always busy, so now I own a military macaw, many of my family members owned parrots and birds before but I dont live anywhere near them to ask them questions, so now i've resorted to asking...
For the longest time I have wanted a galah cockatoo, but for a longer time I have always wanted a horse. I realized if I wanted to get into the equestrian world/life I had to give up galah's plus I want to be more experienced with birds. What do you guys think would be the best bird for me? Here...
Hello, this is a CRAZY idea but, I was wondering if it is legal if I were to take plane tickets to Australia, buy a bird/galah there, and fly me, and the bird back to the USA. Does anyone know if that is somehow allowed?
Thanks, Gracelyn. :)
