cag

I've written about this problem a few months ago, but it was just a couple feathers. Now they're all over my almost 1 y.o. CAG's body. I don't think she could've done that herself, because only new feathers look like that. i noticed that when a new feather is almost ready, it's already like...

hi guys. in need of help again... my CAG keeps doing this weird thing where she starts panting and pacing around (I'll attach a video). she's definetly not hormonal since she's just 6 months old. i have no idea what's causing this because it just happens randomly. she does this several times a...

I got a CAG a few days ago from a breeder ( I wanted to rescue one but i barely even found CAGs for sale in here, no one keeps parrots around here ) and right away i could tell she was very scared of human touch. but on the first day, while i was sitting nearby, she lowered her head and let me...

Hi. My magnificent and otherwise happy CAG Alexander began plucking at age 20. I read through a lot of possibilities and some bathroom work/renovation meant he was no longer on the shower rail to (perhaps?) have the steam soften feathers with the family. We went back to that and tried misting...

I’m looking for a CAG breeder with reasonable prices! Please reply to this if you have any suggestions. They must ship since I can’t travel out of state (Pennsylvania). Thank you!

Please disregard

Okay, so my name isn't really Hermia, but I thought it was fitting to choose a user name from the same Shakespeare play from which I took my bird's name. I have been following the forum since I first started researching the possibility of bringing a parrot into our lives, about three years ago...

Hi, I've had my baby african grey since she was only a few months old and is now 7 years old... she's been fed primarily on Kaytee Exact Rainbow pellets as this is what the breeder told me was best and she was raised on. She gets fresh fruit/vegetables... not often enough, but semi-frequently...

Hello, I need advice on what to do. My 4months old CAG normally perches on the container side and goes to sleep on it. Three days ago at 9pm I perch him on the container side and brought him to my bedroom where he normally sleeps. A few minutes after I closed the door, I heard a loud sound and...

My name is Sam and I am preparing to welcome home a baby CAG in approx 3.5 months. I want to make sure that I am the best companion this bird will ever have. I am making sure everything is safe here, removing toxins, reading everything and will spend 3 months after the birds birth to help be a...

Hi! I'm new to this forum and just thought I should introduce myself! Among the other animals in the household, my little zoo contains one male CAG, Loki, and one male U2, Nemo. Loki is 4 years this Saturday and Nemo is 7 years old. I've had Loki his whole life. He enjoys bossing everyone...

Hello Again, Since my last post, I have been working hard with Zelda (my CAG) to build up trust between us and also to build up her confidence. For the most part, I think it's going well. I have had her for approximately 11 weeks now. I have been working with her every day, with target...

Hello, my wife and I are relatively new bird parents. We adopted a Severe Macaw about a year ago and he has been doing very well. We have just added a new baby to our flock, an Congo African Grey we call Chilee. We acquired him from a local breeder who has loads of excellent reviews, fives...

Bella 7-18-18 by wes mcfaden, on Flickr Bella is doing very well. She will have been our flock 3 years this coming December. As you can see from the photo her feathers are growing in (again) and she is still learning new things to say all the time. Bella has been spending a lot more time with...

Wanted to share my experience adopting Smoky Blue, my first rescue birdy. After Georgie, the Severely spoiled chestnut-fronted macaw passed after an acute illness, I felt such a void. She was my girl for 20+ years! I was also concerned about Taco the Amazon; we had gotten Georgie from a pet...

As you may know, I just adopted a 3 yr old rescue CAG and have a 25 yr old Amazon. As the CAG and I start training, I've been thinking ahead to plan for a 3rd bird in the next few years. I have space for an aviary outside and a large cage in the "bird room" in the center of the house. I love our...

Hi everyone, just an introduction. I've got a small flock with plans to expand. My bird companions are a Lilac-Crowned Amazon, been with me for 25 years (pet store). Our female Severe macaw just passed away (she had been my bonded buddy, with me for for 20+ years), so I adopted a 3 yr old DNA...

Dear All, I just got yesterday a new male, CAG of 18 months, and its like rehoming. It talks (as told by previous owner) few words, though but bites when I bring the finger near. Since yesterday, it was moving in the cage, but not eating, however, when I bring the sun flower seeds or peanuts it...

Hello all! I'm not new to birds in general as I've had a pineapple GCC and currently have a sun conure. I rehomed a CAG in May. I was contacted by the owners because they'd heard through the grapevine that I had other birds and did well with them. I didn't want another project to be honest, and...

Hello! This is my first post other than the 1st "hello" post, so bear with me - I have not yet learned the lingo here. �� Anywho on to the issue- I just recently within the last few weeks traded a mini colt for a ACG, because the family has a young son is is very sick with a left...
