Echo, the king of the house !

Edgar is now about 6 months old, he's doing amazingly well and I love him ^_^ he's mimicking whistles and clicks, and he loves to hang upside down and wrestle with my hands. I'm going to start harness training soon, he loves relaxing outside on our screened in porch, and I know he'll love...

I recently brought 5 week old green cheek home to finish hand feeding. The first few days while he was getting used to his new environment he was very quiet in and outside of his nesting box. He's now 7 weeks, in a large container with a smaller closed warm box inside, and a light that points...

Well, after being on pins and needles for about 2/3 weeks, we finally got to drive down and visit/play with the babies today! I took the day off and let son #2 skip school (son #1 is in deep trouble over his math grade) so that I had some help choosing. We were supposed to have first pick...

Hi guys, I've just purchased a 4 month old plum head parrot who was hand reared but has not been handled by the bird shop for about 4 weeks due to a busy Christmas period. I've been working on his training for the last four days but I still can't get him to stay on my hand as he keeps flying...

Hi All, I adopted a 5 week old male, blue parrotlet named Charlie. I love him so much, but have been racked with fear that something will happen to him. He's so little and besides a couple of buggies when I was a kid, I've no experience with birds. He's still on formula, but is starting to...

hi everyone, when i came home from school today, my friend gave me a shoe box with a baby bird in it. I know not to take in fledgling birds, I wasn't there when they took it. At this point, it was 10:00 pm (i had career night at school) so it was too late to put it back, and too late to give it...

Hi, We just received our new Green Cheek Conure baby today. He is a very sweet and a mega intelligent little guy. Our breeder told us that most are a little nippy when babies. I understand they test with their beaks things and or nip when tired/ hungry. Just a few quick Qs though: 1)...

I have a one year old green cheek conure, got him at 6 months of age. Still can't tell if he is a boy or girl. I taught him to step up pretty easily. He's mimicking our words with sounds. I've heard something about clicker training? If someone could explain that to me. He will let me have his...

Hi, I just got a 9 week old greencheek conure who is having some trouble getting used to being held. He will climb or fly to the other side of the cage when he sees me coming. If he does "step up" onto my hand, he will immediately fly back to the perch. I would like him to be cuddly and...
