concern

I’ve made a few posts on here about my sun conure as he is my first “larger” bird and want to get advice from the more experienced. Lately Ive noticed his chest is larger and today noticed a bald spot. Is he plucking? Is there something underlying? He goes to the vet monthly for his scissor beak...

Hello everyone, This morning I noticed a weird orange/yellow spot on the skin near my 10-year-old green cheek conure's left eye. It's only on one side, and I don't think it was there yesterday. I brought this up with my mom and she isn't that concerned over it, but I myself am worried if it...

Hi all! I just got Nibble, my 3.5-month-old green cheek, 2 weeks ago. We have been bonding well apart from the occasional nips here and there. lately, she has been using my sweater sleeves as a tunnel/hidey hole of sorts? I don't know whether this is just an example of her being cute or if she...

I just recently posted a thing my birds stinky “breath” to which a few people showed concern so I made a vet appointment- he went this morning and she cleared his crop of old food and set him on an antibacterial med well since then it seems like he’s completely changed - he’s quieter; very...

My pineapple green cheek isn’t sleeping the full 12 hours. I’m not doing anything to wake her up but she always wakes up before 12 hours or even 10 hours. What can I do to help her get her sleep

I noticed today that my conures bottom beak is ridged and layered. Is that normal? He does have a scissored beak and hes getting that trimmed Friday but didn’t know if I should be concerned about the new texture

My male conure has gotten comfortable with me … toooo comfortable. He’s beginning to try and be naughty with my hand. Whats the best way to stop this as I know if can lead to health concerns. I get him off and seconds later hes back. Would getting another conure of the same sex help get the...

I recently bought a shower perch for my conure. Should he be in there while Im cleaning myself too or is it something thats its just him and im near by? If i can be in there can I use scented soap?

my male conure enjoys sitting on me and recently has gotten very comfortable…. too comfortable. Hes falling asleep! Though its cute I want to make sure im not re-enforcing bad/frowned upon behavior by letting him continue.

Hi there Recently I've really been wanting a bird in my life. I had a lovely cockatiel that I unfortunately had to rehome due to unforeseen circumstances, we suddenly had to move into a house with an unfamiliar person, and I was forced to find a new home for them, as I was still a minor when I...

Hi, I don’t have a parrot yet but am trying to make sure I know everything on how to raise one. The one problem that has scared me the most is poisoning. I heard you cannot use nonstick materials or bleach or ammonia. Does this mean that they can’t be used in a certain proximity to the parrot or...

Hi, my names katy and I’ve been thinking about getting a bird but I need some help on which one to get? I’ve already done a couple years of research and am well aware that birds aren’t as what is seen online though they do have their moments. I know they bite and get hormonal and that you need...

(It’s my first time posting here so please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong spot) So about a week ago I got my first budgie, I was told he’s a male but that it was a bit hard to tell bc of his age. Before this I was really nervous so I just gathered as much info as I could, I consulted...

Hi there everyone! This seems to be a normal question on here I've noticed. I just got this boy yesterday and he has been eating a lot of fruit and his seed mix. Can someone tell me if these poops look regular to you or if I should bring him to the vet? I am going to bring him for a baseline...

Hey guys so I have a slight concern about my birds. I noticed on their neck and chest they are two different colors with the neck being more orange-pink and their stomach being red-purple. I have a vet appointment set up for them but the earlist I could get was Augest. I was wondering if this is...

Hi all! My GCC hurt his foot somehow within the last day. Earlier this year he got his toe broken by a poorly trained groomer and I took him to the vet. They gave me Metacam and it said that it expired 7/31/19 and I don't know if I could get a refill for it. Is it a bad idea to give him the...
