flying

I am planning on going home for Thanksgiving. I will be there for 3 days, flying to and from for 2 of them. The flight is only an hour. I was wondering if I should bring my Conure. She will have been with me for 2 weeks before this flight. I don't want to leave her at home as no-one will be...

Hi everyone! My lorikeet has been clipped shortly after he started flying. We did some basic training with him before we clipped him, like flying downwards and flying towards us, but he was still VERY young and not a very good flyer, so we decided to clip him just to make sure he wouldn't fly...

I'll keep this short.. If I had feathers i'd probably be pulling them out. I have a Conure, took her in from a not so good home. Lulu is 2 years old, possibly 3. I love her, but its been a pain lately because she is scared of EVERYTHING. I sneeze, couch, laugh, sigh, turn on water, type, blow my...

Every time I try to get him to step-up, he either flies or runs away. Which is weird because when he perceives that I'm approaching him to pet him, he stays. He's not like the cliche of his species, he doesn't bite or even nip; he's not territorial - at least with me; when I try to grab him away...

My galah got a bit of a fright from something and went for a bit of a flight. She landed on the venetian blinds. I was in the middle of something that I couldn't drop straight away so I called to her to come over and stuck out my other arm. She wasn't having any of "that" and she just stayed...

Well i thought i was never gonna see my 'zon fly even though she is nearly fully flighted. but seems like life is full of surprises:54: they all get their out of cage time outdoors when i'm prepping brekkie for them, i went back into the house to get food for about 10mins or so came back out...

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything about Blaze, but it seems I now have my hands full now that he (I now speculate) has finally settled in 100%. He's so active and wants to get into everything just like a child. Ever since we celebrated his hatch day, which was July 14th, I...

Hello everyone! I've had my African Grey since I was 12 years old, I'm now 26 and I'm hoping to move abroad for a while at the start of next year. I am really wanting to hear from other people who've taken parrots (preferably Greys) on aeroplanes before. I've heard that all Greys are nervous...

I have my sun conure rocky and he's about 6 months old and when I got him he had clipped wings. I really want the pore Bugga to be able to fly he's a bird for god sake. Does anyone now how long it will take for his wings to come back?

My adopted galah came to me with her wings clipped. The previous owner said they were very short so that she could not leave where she was staying temporarily. I've been participating in threads about wing clipping trying to learn more about "flying" things. Anyway, today I took her out of...

Buddy (boy) had to have his wings trimmed last time he broke a blood feather, the vet told me to leave bonnies (girl) feathers to grow as they were still quite short. So hers have come back enough to the point where she can fly a few feet. Now my question is should I have her wings clipped...

Back again, I separated my two conures but a lot of the time I still have the both with me. Buddy (boy) had to have his wings trimmed last time he broke a blood feather, the vet told me to leave bonnies (girl) feathers to grow as they were still quite short. So hers have come back enough to the...

Hi there, to sum up i assume my bird is ready to wean, but she is only 10 weeks old, i thought this happens a few weeks from now, like 12-14 weeks old. So my alex Frankie is approaching 10 weeks old now, and I've been handfeeding since i purchased it (I was taught how to handfeed by a...

Hi, My name is Matt. My housemates and I "have" a maroon-bellied conure. His name is Mason, and he is slowly but surely becoming a terror bird... I'm gonna need a lot of advice.:confused:

....Well sorta. After trying to teach her to fly for months and doing the flappies and launching her on the count of three (one,two, three, fly!!!! oh dear), she is finally learning to fly! We have a pvc stand we are taking outside and whenever we launch her (that sounds terrible). We just...

Hello! I thought I'd introduce myself to you all as I am the very proud owner of a Sun Conure. She is 14weeks old and I will have had her for a fortnight this coming Sunday. I have always wanted a sunny since falling in love about 5yrs ago but was never in the position to have one. My...
