Hi all! I have a 6 month old Green Cheek Conure (w/Turquoise Mutation) named Zazu :) and recently over the last couple months she has become a bit aggressive towards other people outside my immediate family. I am not sure what entirely changed but I believe the lack of social interaction (not...

Hi all, new budgie owner here. I got my 2 budgies about 2 months ago, I believe it's one boy (Gatorade) and a girl (Blueberry). They bonded very quickly when we brought them home, cuddling, preening each other and regurgitating. However recently Blueberry underwent her first molt and started...

Hi there I am really new to this forum and honestly, this feels a little like a last resort. I feel I need to give background information as to why I'm so confused. I have a rainbow Lorikeet named Zuko and I love him to bits. I got him about this time last year making him a little over a...

Hey all. I have an IRN and I need a little help. She starts puffing up, screaming and attacking me consistently over certain things, including bells, ice cubes and guitars. Removing the bells from her toys isn’t too much of a hassle, and I suppose I can deal with not having ice in my drinks but...

Hi all, I've had Arthur, my 1 year and 7 month old male quaker, for a little under a year and a half. He loves learning new phrases, flying and shredding toys but lately his behavior has been getting bad. I'm used to him yelling when we leave him alone in a room and I understand that's his...

Hey everyone, I'm actually new here, but I searched everywhere to find some solution for this, but I'm still not sure what to do... I have two green cheek conures. We adopted them, and the previous owner said they are a male and female and they just turned one year old now, but I'm not sure...

Hello everyone, I'm totally new to this forum so I'll try to briefly explain my questions and what my parrot looks like. I've established that my baby parrot aged 1 year old named Rio is a ringneck and the colour is totally green. However, this is my first time owning a parrot in general and I...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community but I'm very excited to be a part of it. I have an 8-month-old quaker that I've had for a couple of months now. I got Papaya from Petco they were actually about to transfer him to a different store and I told them to stop because I am getting him...

Hello all, I'm brand new to this site..just signed up yesterday. I was hoping some of you could give me some insight on my situation. So alittle back story I grew up around birds. My mother raised cockatiels and love birds (so I'm use to bird bites ;)). I even had a conure that was a nasty...

Hello! I am new to this forum, and I am having trouble with my bird. I have a 5-year-old cockatiel who still doesn't seem to trust me. He really loves attention, but he doesn't like for me to put my hand by him to get him to step up. I try to get him out when I can, but honestly, I'm working and...

Hi, my Dori is 4 1/2 years old, I have had here since she was a baby. She has recently started biting HARD. For example, sitting on my shoulder she will just out of the blue, bite my ear ... not the gently preening nibbles. The other day I had my hand out for her to step up and she just bit the...

Hello All! I am looking for some advice. I recently got a Green Cheek Conure; I am his third home and he is under 1 year old. His first owner was a young girl who neglected him and left him up in her room all day alone since her mother did not like the noise (she was scared of him so never...

I just adopted a green cheek conure 10 days ago. He is 15 years old and believed to be male (but never tested). He was raised by the same family since he was very young and is supposedly tame. His primary human went to college and as a result, has not received enough attention for awhile - which...

A few months ago I had my GC out and out of nowhere he started biting me like crazy. I'm talking repeatedly trying to tear chunks out of my finger. He's about 3 years old and I've heard of them hitting puberty late, but he isn't showing any signs of wanting to mate with anything at all. At this...

I have a couple of issues I'd appreciate some help with. I've restarted training of Sammie, my 13 1/2 year old white bellied. She's been with me since she was 4 months. I'm experiencing the same issue I had when I initially started target training. I get her to touch a stick or bell and...

I have a quaker named Houdini who is about a year old. I remember being so thrilled when she first let me hold her, but now I can't seem to get her off of me. This wouldn't be an issue if she wasn't hurting me. She likes to preen my hair but she does it so aggressively that she's pulling my hair...

Hello, I recently got a new baby turquoise GCC. He is about 3 months old according to the breeder. I've been having a hard time interacting with him. Not because he is afraid of me. He would fly to my shoulders as soon as I leave him. He enjoys me petting him on the cheek. He also steps up...
