Hi everyone, I'm new here. My name is Chloe and I have a 2 year old male Princess Parrot named Emmett. Emmett is a hilarious and loud bird, but I am worried about him being lonely. The problem is, I can't have him out of his cage as much as I like because he bonds with random objects in my...

Hi all! My fiance and I are going to visit a rescue and two birds in particular have stuck out to me: an IRN and a special needs cockatiel. We already have a GCC and an African Grey. I've never owned a bird like an IRN so does anyone have any advice on meeting this bird or owning this bird...

Hi everyone, I am new but I frequently go here always for any information about parrots and its always wonderful to see so much information from bird owners. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me identify if this is a problem that I should bring to a vets attention, my conure has...

Hey everyone! I recently brought a baby parakeet into my home. The pet store said he was anywhere between 3 and 6 months old. But I feel like something may be wrong. He isn't very playful and really has no interest in being around me at all. It's been about four or five weeks now and I'm at a...

I got a cockatiel from a breeder a few weeks ago, put him (actually a her) in his own cage and he quickly got used to his new home and is very happy here, but I noticed he doesn’t really sit on perches but rather he perches onto of his food or water dishes or toys and sits on the bottom of his...

Hello I just got a 6 week old sun conure form a breeder, he explained how to hand feed him and everything. When j was feeding him yesterday he shook his head and some of the Formula when into his nose I quickly wiped it off, however there’s still some in his nostril and is a hard. I don’t want...

I have had this bird for quite a while, she is quite noisy at times but she's calm and won't trigger her yelling instincts unless provoked. i have had her out of the cage on regular basis, but i just cant find her a look alike. Images:https://gyazo.com/fe8ecc50ed19ef5832fb24dbf6d6b60c...

Hi and thanks for letting us join. I recently took over the care of an :grey: Congo African Grey parrot he is six years old. So far having no expertise I’ve recently gotten two bites on my finger which I’m putting down to my inexperience and the fact Lennie is in a new environment and has a...

We currently have a bonded pair of Male green cheek conures (we're assuming they're male. They havent laid eggs in the 2 years we've had them). Our friend is looking to rehome a female green cheek. We're wondering if theres a safe way of introducing them and caging all three of them together...

Okay, before I start this I need to say, please try to be civil, please no comments telling me off, suck it up, etc. (This community seems very nice and, logically, I know I haven’t seen anyone do that, but I am a very anxious person), This is hard enough for me already. So. I got my Amazon...

Hi everyone! So unfortunately my air conditioning has stopped working for the most part, it’s cooler in the bird room, but I’m still worried! I was thinking about putting little trays of water in their cages, but there’s no telling whether or not theyll bathe. I know humidity makes the heat feel...

I brought Gizmo home a few days ago. He belonged to my best friend who tragically lost her battle with cancer late Friday night/Saturday morning. Gizmo has been in my apartment for almost a week now. He has taken to obsessively picking at my fingers and the skin around my fingernails. I used...

Hello! I am new here and I thought this would be good place to ask for advice. A little bit of a background at first. A couple of months ago, my mom told me that there was a ringneck at her work; (she works as a nanny) the parents had bought the parrot as a birthday present for their kid but...

Hi ! I’m new to the parrot community ! I don’t have any birds at the moment but I have been doing my research on a few breeds and that has taken me about three months so far ! ( I want to be very educated the bird I pick ) I’m stuck between a green cheek conure , pionus, Meyer or maybe a...

Hello fellow bird owners :) I just registered this account, mainly to ask advice on what to do with my love birds, but I’m already so excited about everything! Lol and I can already see myself being on this site allot. I mean just look at these parrot emojis!! :green1::red::orange::blue1...

Let's cut to the chase. I am considering buying a green cheeked conure in the future, but I was wondering how they would adapt to my job. This summer, I will go and get my commercial pilot license (it's a 2-year study). As far as I know, I might not be home for 3-4 days. I was recommended buying...

Hi everyone! I've two funny and lovely green cheeks.. The male (J.) has 5 years old, and the female (A.) almost 3. This is the problem: during the night the male goes to the bottom of the cage.. spending his time walking and walking and making confetti with the newspaper (I use newspaper...

My parakeet, Doodle, recently has been biting at his leg band. He has broken it open a little bit, and it seems fairly close to coming off. I first noticed this today. It does not seem too tight around his leg, so I am unsure of why this behavior started. Any advice/tips on what to do or...
