Hello everyone, new member and fairly new bird owner here. My first bird, Chicken, a sulfur crested cockatoo, is my best friend and she has strongly bonded to me. I'm building an outside aviary in my back yard for her. I need to know what kinds of things I need to be cautious of in...

Hello all, I have a 4 year old ducorp's cockatoo named Willow who has been with me since he was 7 months old. Previously in the years past, Willow would willingly step up out of his cage, but starting last year, he has become quite reluctant to step up out of his cage. He used to also...

I am the proud owner of two beautiful birds, a male Cockatiel named Onni (after the Japanese mythology creature) and a male baby Umbrella Cockatoo Mamés Dango (yes I like the Japanese theme thing). Onni is about 2 years old, he keeps to himself, doesn’t act at all like other cockatiels I know...

This isn't for a long time yet, I like to have all the information possible before getting a new bird. But, what would you say is the best parrot? Ive always wanted an African grey or cockatoo... but I just wanted some insights of what kind of behaviour problems etc people have with their...

Hi my name is Liam and I am a new member to this forum,my dilemma is I rescued a 3 and a half year old female umbrella cockatoo today and she is untame as she was isolated, I quickly noticed that she smis very defensive of her space (most likely due to stress of moving around to a strange...

My cousin owned 2 cockatoos awhile back (even though she shouldn't have...). I dont think they really spent any one on one time with the birds and if they did it was rare. The birds were out of the cage though and free to roam I believe most of the time they were home. However, I noticed that...

I guess I’ll make this a thing since i visit bird stores a little too often and have some experiences or spot some things that shouldn’t be done towards birds. This post will involve two stories 1.) Today I visited the store known as Omars Exotic Birds, I don’t know if anyone has heard of this...

Okay, so I've never had much of a problem with my Goffin chewing wires until recently and, with the profession I have, it's hard to keep wires out of the way. I'm an open cage believer, which means my cages are always open; open door, open top all day long - as long as it's not bedtime or I'm...

I am looking into getting a bird, I've done an unimaginable amount of research, I have always wanted a bigger bird since I was young, my top ones are Conures, African Grey, and Cockatoo but deciding factor, I work a 9-5 job at a vet 5 days a week with weekends being completely free. Is that too...

We've had our conures Charlie and kiwi for almost three years. We weren't planning on getting a larger bird anytime soon but my cousins didn't have the time for their cockatoo Nigel because of work and their kids so they sold her to us. We've had Nigel since last Monday on the 20th. Since we've...

Hello :) So after years of dreaming about having a big parrot (I mean bigger than cockatiel and budgies, I had those since I was 10yo, not anymore though) I finally can get one. I do not work and I have a 7yo child, plenty of experience with many medium sized parrots (second hand experience from...

Hello, I am new to the forum, I have joined in hope of finding help. I rescued my little corrella, Buster, 6 months ago. I was told his owner had unexpectedly died and he had been passed to two other people before he was with the couple I took him off. The first people who rehomed him couldn't...
