Hey there! I have a 2 year old cockatiel named yoshi, yoshi is a he and quite the stubborn personality. Id like a guide on how to better bond with him, he wont step up, but he will fly over onto my hand, and usually ends up on my shoulder, yoshi no matter wheter his cage or my hand or shoulder...

So I got home today and interacted with Kirby. We had music on and he seemed to like it! He would react to the change in sound and rhythm but no dancing yet. He seemed like he wanted to come down from his perch onto the table with me but he was still unsure. So I stepped him up and held him...

Finally got a picture with Skittle (F) on my hand! She only gets brave enough to go on my hand when Milo (M) does, I’m getting some spray millet soon and I’m excited to see if they’ll like it, I’m getting closer to bonding with them everyday! Skittle is the more cyan budgie and Milo is the...

Three weeks ago I got a little Lovebird named Casanova. Bonding started off really slow and he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me but lately things have been progressing so fast. Within a span of three days (this past Sunday to Tuesday) he started eating Millet from my hand, he started...

Hi! I’m am a new bird mom. I recently adopted through a pet store a (green cheek?) conure. I’ll attach a picture. Anyways, I know I have to acclimate her to him (I just assume because of not knowing sex) new home, how can I bond with her. Any tips and tricks? He is rather nippy per store, but...

Good morning all you bird lovers! My name is Michael and I am new to this community.

Hello! My names Titan and I just recently joined Parrot Forums with the hope of learning new ways to give my birds the best life possible. I currently have one male cockatiel named Phish who I’ve had for around 6 months now. Sometimes he’s a little demon but I love him regardless. I also decided...

Hi all! We bought a sun conure at about 4 months old. The breeder had us do some barbaric training methods which we stopped very soon after leaving the breeder. Obviously this has left the sun conure fearful of us and our hands. I've been training with him to step up onto a stick and...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I really need some advice and help! I have two birds a budgies (boo) who's about 4 and a lovebird (peachy) who is just turning 2. During this quarantine they have been spoiled so much, they got a new cage, toys and they come out of the cage so much. But lately I...

Hello! I have a sun conure named mango and have had him for 2 months now. He is fantastic but his behaviour is confusing. When we train he happily gives me kisses and will lightly nibble my finger for treats but will not dare let me touch him. I have a clicker and tried stick training but is...

Hi all! We got a 4 month old sun conure about a month and a half ago. The breeder we got him from wanted us to do this towel training with him to tame him but it hasn't worked out for us. We stopped the training a while ago but he is still somewhat afraid of us and very independent to where he...

I took Luna to the pet shop in a transfer cage today. I wanted to see how the RLA would react to Luna. The whole thing was a bust.:smile011: Luna was to uncomfortable in the new and strange surrounding of the store. She barely noticed the other bird. The RLA was only interested in US...
