pionus

So I’ve had my lil guy for about 9 months now, and he’s the sweetest little bird. He’s a little over a year old, and he’s never had any sort of weird behaviour until now. This morning I noticed he was flipping his wings, and I immediately got worried and kept a closer eye on him. He hasn’t...

Hi yall! Alfie is a (currently) baby blue-headed pionus parrot! She's my baby and this is a thread for appreciating the mischief and chaos she causes in her life!

Hi all! I'm Saki, it's nice to meet you all! I recently became the owner of a lovely blue-headed pi, my little baby, Alfie! She's about 4 1/2 months old, and she is just the sweetest little angel! I hope to become friends with you all!

Hey guys! I got a 6 month old hand raised pionus, Kiko, about 2 weeks ago. He’s a really nice parrot, I already adore him, but he screams…a lot. It started after 2/3 days after bringing him home and has gotten worse ever since. He only screams when he’s out of his cage. Its a loud honking...

We are selling our custom built Cages by Design Parrot Cage. We had to find a new home for our Senegal and Pionus due to some health problems, so that is why we are selling it. I originally purchased it as a surprise for my wife and paid about $8000. I have all the original receipts still...

I recently just got pionus parrot and there's a few questionable acts that he is doing that I would like to get clarified on. When I enter the house he flares up and his back tail as well. It's been a few days since I've had him and I don't know why he does it. He also weaves his head back and...

Hi everyone. Cockatiels, budgies and pionus are recommended for first-time bird owners with children. I have a little one (pre-schooler) and I’ve prepared a large setup for a Maximilian Pionus, ready to go ahead next week! Before getting the bird, I’d appreciate opinions on whether this...

I have a male and female White Capped Pionus, both with big cages, full toys and accessories that I need to find a new place for. It really is killing me to think about letting them go, but my husband has become unreasonable and it's making life pure hell for me as well as my birds. Male is 4...

Hello! My name is Louise, and I’m thinking about getting a bird. I’ve never owned a bird before, but I have done many months of research and I’ve narrowed my choices down to three species: a ring neck, a cockatiel, or a Pionus. Of these three, the Pionus are definitely my favorites, but I want...

Hello all! I recently adopted a gorgeous 6 year old, DNA-sexed male blue-headed pionus named Rookie. Though I am not new to the world of birds, having previously owned a cockatiel, budgie, and black-cheeked lovebird, Rookie will be my first "big" parrot as well as my first interaction with...

I'm about to be a first time parrot owner, bringing home a baby White Capped Pionus in about 7 weeks. I've done a ton of research but I'm making myself go crazy looking at all the different cage options. I would love any type of advice on what size I should get, and where the best place to buy...

Hi All! My Blue Head has developed what appears to be some form of a growth under his tongue. This is causing him what I believe, to eat less. His keel is protruding more than normal. The vet just weighed him at 260 grams. Blood test shows elevated white blood cell count and before the...

Hello! I am looking to get a female pionus. I do not have a preference of Max, blue headed, dusky, etc. I just like the manner of this parrot breed. I would prefer a hand fed baby but if there is sweet older one available for adoption, I'm okay with that. I do have parrot experience. I've owned...

Hi guys, for the past few weeks I have been building a relationship with my darling Suki. She is about 1 year old. I have read and tried finding new information on how female Pionus parrots become at sexual maturity . Now Suki still has a little ways to go before she reaches that point in her...

I am thrilled to have my first pet parrot in my life. She is a white capped Pionus and her name is Suki. She is such a sweet heart, although she is only 1 year old, things could change but I hope not. Suki is like velcro. She follows me everywhere, always wants to be with me. I never...

So, my pi Eva is quite vocally talented. At only 4 months old she actually impresses me. Although, in the midst of teaching her not to screech when I leave the room, our wonderful old vacuume decided to bestow upon us a squeeky wheel.. now, the great part about this, is that this wheel actually...

Hey guys, I got a new baby white capped Pi last Wednesday, just under a week ago. Things were great the first couple days. the baby wanted out and on me all the time, was playful and sweet, wanted head scratches and to play on the couch. Although I think I may have accidentally screwed up her...
