help needed

Hi to anyone who reads this and thank you in advanced. About 9 months ago, my partners 12 year old sister was given a conure to care for. He? (we are not sure but refer to him as a male) was put in a far too small cage for several months, not cared for beyond food and water, and subjected to...

Hello, Let me start by saying this, I wanted a pet, needed something to give me a bit of purpose and take care of. A few years ago I developed allergies to cats and dogs and this has really brought me down. So I decided to get a parrot, did some research, looked for what would be suitable for...

I just purchased a 2 month old ringneck that the owner said was tamed. She clicked right away with my husband, but me on the other hand, she hates. I cannot even hold her or try to open her cage without attacking. Just now she wanted to sit on my shoulder and I thought she was being sweet, then...

I’m looking for a reliable conure breeder so I can adopt a turquoise conure this summer. Does anyone have suggestions? Any advice is greatly appreciated! I’m located in Pennsylvania but I can’t drive out of state to adopt a turquoise conure, so if the breeder is out of state, they would need to...

All birds are different of course. but my sun Conure is absurdly clingy! he starts doing the thing where they twitch their wings as I leave the door and screams for hours while I'm gone. it annoys the hell out of my family. I adopted him from a local parrot aviary. they breed parrots and are an...

Hi, I'm not sure how I should clean egg yolk off my budgie's head. :confused: I'd appreciate some advice. My budgie, (Paris), is semi-tame but she doesn't really like to be touched (anywhere). It's too cold to give shower her. The only idea I have is to feed her some wet spinach. Thanks! :)

hello! So i have had this cockatiel for a bit now, around a couple of years. He has been aggressive to younger children for around the last year and recently has become much more aggressive to them, especially my brother. I don't know how to stop this behavior, i’ve been having my brother feed...

My female budgie, Paris, laid an egg two days ago. She’s four years old and has never laid eggs before, how do I take care of her properly (to prevent egg binding or any health issues). She’s also losing some of her down feathers? She started laying eggs after (roughly) 2-4 weeks of masturbating...

Hi all, First off I just want to say I've been using this site for a while and it has helped tons! I am now at a point where I feel my problem has not already been answered in terms of my specific bird and situation. I have had a female GCC since about July of last year. She turned a year old...

Two days ago, I got a lovebird that the owner says is 6 weeks old. He said that it was off the formula, and gave me a bag of Zupreem pellets to feed it (image attached). The bird eats very well, and is learning how to use the bottle but we have a small dish of water as well. However, it seems to...

Hi all! I'm Mary. New here, just joined because I'm looking for some advice. It's a long story so bear with me: I've had my bird Moe for 3 years (co-owned with my mother who lives with me) since we rescued him. Moe and I are absolute BFF's and we used to spend almost all of my free time...

Hello! I recently got a new tiel and now that it's growing up it's confusing me loads. I noticed that he "relieves himself" on objects like a male cockatiel would do and he'sstarting to sing too and is really really attention seeking and noisy, but for some reason he shows some female...

Hello! I'm new here so just wanted to start by saying THANK YOU to anyone willing to help. I'm 30 days into my relationship with Soda who is a Yellow Naped Amazon and things are going downhill quickly. Just a little background .. fell in love in a pet store (I know, I'm sorry for this but I...
