advice needed

Hi all, My rescue grass parakeet Mofu has been making great strides lately. This past week she has decided that she finally without a doubt wants my attention all day and whistles for me to come to her every time I leave the room. She eagerly chases me around for treats, both in her cage and...

Hi all, Hopefully I'm not being too spammy with these frequent posts. I just wanted to give a small update on Mofu's progress along with a couple more questions that I hope people might know the answer to. Mofu has been with me for 19 days now, she's still very scared of hands but her fear...

Hi, I'm not sure how I should clean egg yolk off my budgie's head. :confused: I'd appreciate some advice. My budgie, (Paris), is semi-tame but she doesn't really like to be touched (anywhere). It's too cold to give shower her. The only idea I have is to feed her some wet spinach. Thanks! :)

I am considering getting a pet bird, but I have heard that trying to talk on the phone can cause some issues. Is this the same with having a computer and being on a call with other people with a microphone and headphones? Does it being on speakers help? I would want to have them by me at my desk...

Hello there, I need advice.. I recently bought a blue and gold macaw from a breeder (about 3ish months old) the problem is that I am inexperienced at the moment and I had little to no help from the breeder at all which I initially thought was gonna walk me through the whole process of raising...

Hi, Paris (my female budgie) got a white mark near the top of her beak last evening, and it hasn’t gone away. Please help, I don’t know what this is and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. :confused: But she’s playful and flying a lot etc. I’ve attached pictures – please help! Edit: If...

Howdy! So I have three budgies, the first two were relatively young when I got them and have been a breeze to bond with, however, I just took home a new budgie today, Casper. She looked fine when I saw her, but younger than the others. Now I'm noticing things. For one, she struggles to perch on...

Hi all! I'm Mary. New here, just joined because I'm looking for some advice. It's a long story so bear with me: I've had my bird Moe for 3 years (co-owned with my mother who lives with me) since we rescued him. Moe and I are absolute BFF's and we used to spend almost all of my free time...

I'm Kirstan. I have 3 lovely Conures. Beau is a male crimson bellied conure. Zelda is a female crimson bellied conure and Thomas is a male turquoise green cheek conure. They are all 5 years or younger and all rehomes. I'm also seeking advice on Beau - he is a sweet bird of about 1 year and 8...

So I got a dusky conure on the 11th he's 7 months old and was quite nippy when I first got him because no one wanted to see him due to the other brighter colored birds, which is a damn shame he's such a sweet little guy now but I digress a bit. I tamed him by quite a large margin he doesn't bite...

I've been having a really hard time lately, and the other day was the worst. I broke down crying and all, and I usually keep it in. Both of my parrotlets were around when I did. My parrotlet I've had for a while now doesn't seem phased and is fine, but my baby parrotlet I've had for a few months...

My parents got a macaw when I was about 8. His name his Jeffery and we aren’t exactly sure of his age but we were told he was around 20 at the time. My parents got divorced and after all the kids moved out my mom stopped caring for him almost almtogether. He didn’t get any time out of his cage...

Hi fellow birders! I’ve got some of these plastic foot toy rattles for my bird and the last time I visited him at the breeder I left one of them for him to play with at the breeders home. My reasoning was it might make the transition from the breeders home to our home easier if he had at least...

Hi! I'm currently trying to find what bird would be best for me. I've been researching Meyers Parrots, Quaker Parrots, Eclectus Parrots, Senegal Parrots. I'm stuck and can't seem to figure out how to weigh the pros and cons I don't live in an apartment so if a bird is louder it's okay but I'm...

My green cheek conure, Butter, has recently started to molt. I had a big scare for awhile that he was plucking but fortunately that ended up not being the case (as he was just molting and began to grow new in feathers). But today I’ve been scared because a lot of the new feathers on his belly...

So, a month or so ago, I got a lovebird. The internet told me to get a younger lovebird, so I figured 5 months was young enough. I was wrong. I don't want to regret buying her, however, and have tried to tame her. It doesn't work. TL;DR: any advice on taming a non-hand fed, 5-month-old, female...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some advice on choosing a healthy caique to help my partner understand this process. A little background; we're in Sydney Australia and we've found some a local Sydney breeder has still got some baby white bellies (they were advertised in mid-May and the youngest...

Hey gang! I've been searching around the forums for threads about moving w/ a feathered friend, and haven't been lucky; and on Google, I've only seen articles about re-homing. My military macaw, Radar, and I moved across town yesterday. He handled the car ride pretty well and seems to be...

Hi Everyone, My partner and I are in the process of buying a townhouse (small complex of 4, Australia) and I'm thinking this is the perfect opportunity to finally purchase a feathered friend. When I was young I used to keep canaries so know a bit about bird care (little me would always scrub...

Hey everyone! I have a five-month-old male cockatiel, Bowie. We've been doing pretty well so far. When I put my palm in his cage he rushes to get on it, and he likes climbing on me or just sitting on my hand with one of his feet in the air. However, while he has no problem with my palm pressing...
