afraid

Hi everyone, I’ve had Joey, my green cheek Conure for 5 months now and I got him when he was 10 week old. We let him roam around the house (supervised) and he is in his cage only when we are not home or when it’s his bedtime. He has always been very friendly with everyone and definitely not...

Okay so ill start by saying, this cockatiel was in one of those crowded cages where around 50 birds were held in a small cage and no where to run or go, afraid of all humans and their behavior to come to cages and spook them to get a reaction, i did not intend to get this bird but when i saw...

I brought home a 6-month old eclectus a few weeks ago. I'm a new owner and am doing the best I can to give him a happy home. I've noticed in the last week or so that he is horribly afraid of shadows all day long. It's particularly a problem because when I approach, there is a huge big monster...

Hi, I'm wondering what to do about my 3 year old Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. She's always been jumpy and afraid of people and passing cars/bikes; Suddenly one day about a year ago she decided she was terrified of me, especially my hands. I still let her out of her aviary into the backyard every...

Bentley has had same cage since he came from breeder. I am 2nd owner and had him 2 years. I also only cage my birds at night to sleep, otherwise they are on large java playstands. Cage came with cement perch which I didn't like, and introduced rope perches instead. He has a rope boing on his...

Hello all! I just recently bought a 6 month old Green Cheek Conure and it is extremely shy, which is apparently not how GCCs are supposed to be. He (I haven't had him sexed yet, but I don't plan on breeding him so I just decided to stick with he/him pronouns) does NOT like to be held and acts...

Hello everyone. I have had my Jenday named Tiki about 6 months. I got him from someone's break up and he was a very loving immature bird. I am assuming he's hitting adolescence (and there is some second guessing going on here as well, but I have not done anything out of the ordinary..) So...

My budgie bird (got him about 2 months ago) is scared of the finger/hand. The good thing about him is that he doesn't bite, but when he's scared he gets all stiff and skinny (kind of scary). He eats off my hand and will accept treats and stuff, but he's scared when I try to make him step up...

Hey guys, I've had Dokey for 4 years now, he talks, we play together, he's completely confident with me, he lets me touch him wherever. He loves playing with me. But he is scared of everything...from a keychain to a chair. I've seen people's parrots sit on the backs of chairs and playing...

Hello Everyone I got 2 new Cockatiels :yellow1: :grey: that were abandoned at my work place in a shoe box. They are about a year old and TERRIFIED of everything. I have been working with them to gain their trust but they don't seem like they want anything to do with me. So far I can get one to...

I bought my adorable green cheeked Conure almost a year ago and he was a hand fed super friendly little guy (or girl?)! We spend every day together for at least 2-3 hours a day cuddling and playing (he even takes naps with me!). He's not afraid of hands, fingers, being petted or really anything...

I just brought home a Cherry Head Conure that my friend and the owner of Adventures in Birds is letting me have for a week to see if she would be a good addition to my flock ( last week my 11 year old Love Bird was killed ). This Cherry Head was the last of 5 babies that went to homes rather...
