kakariki

I have a little male turquoisine (the rainbow one) and a female kakariki (the yellow and green one with the red head). I am stuck between 2 sets of names. Turq - Merlin Kak - Zelda (Like Merlin from Sword in the Stone, and Legend of Zelda) Or Kak - Merry Turq - Pippin (Like from Lord of...

A miracle happened today. Fate or coincidence? I think fate. So I found 1 single breeder of Kakarikis in Queens, NY. There are only a few in the United States and they are typically in California (where this breeder actually goes and gets them) and that is after they are imported from New...

I have a male kakariki. He's over a year old. He had a rough summer cause he was sick and stuff and ever since then he's just not the same. He's had some various issues but my vet has found that nothing is ever detrimental. He's had anemia and a bad molt that he had pain and stuff but he's just...

Hello! My name is Valerie. I joined parrot forums a couple of days ago because often when I google things about my bird or birds in general, I've noticed parrotforums.com appears quite a bit in my search results. This bird community seems really great and I am excited to be apart of it! I've...

SICK Kakariki sleeping all day on bottom of cage, is lethargic and completely silent. I have a red fronted male Kakariki. :green1: His name is Tiki. He is approximately a year old. Typically he is extremely hyper which is typical of Kakarikis. They have a lot of energy. Tiki is normally very...

Hi all! I was feeling bored one day, and decided to make silly little parrot comics! I will be posting them all on this thread when I am done! :) If you tell me your parrot, their name, and personality then they may have a cameo in the comics. Any other ideas (and names) you have would also be...

Hi, I have a Kakariki girl named Lotty, she is very timid and shy, untamed. She is about a year old and a new addition to the family. I have just been offer the opportunity to get a hand reared kakariki baby, I was just wondering if anyone knows how I would go about introducing the new baby to...

Hi, I am Faith, Im 23 and I have just gained 'custody' if you will of a young Kakariki girl whom I renamed Lotty. I know a bit about the species but I am still a novice so I thought I would join here where there are a lot of knowledgeable people who can help me if I need it...

We are moving to an apartment and I need recommendations of a good air purifier for my kakariki under 100 dollars. Thanks :yellow1: (Note: I need to buy it today so I cant order it)

Hi guys. My kak (Sunny)laid her first ever egg last night but sadly i found it this morning cracked at the bottom of the cage and it was leaking. She wasnt near it (it was like she new it was broken) so i took it away? did i do the wrong thing?? Ive gave her a nest box and shes been in there for...

Not much is really known about kakarikis, and not everything I'll say is 100% (of course, also depends on individual birds too) but I'm going to say what I know about my kak ( we named him Kirby) and some facts Kaks are from New Zealand Kaks love shoulders and hair they will sit in your hair...

Okay so, I waited too long and didnt get my other kakariki (it got sold to someone else) I was really sad, but we went back and I fell in love with two more! It was really hard to pick but I finally chose and got him the 24th! He is so funny and sweet. He was scared at first on the bumpy car...

My kakariki is a little bigger then a Budgie. But Kakarikis need a bigger cage because they are pretty energetic. I found a 75 dollar cage on Craigslist that is 50.5" tall x 18" wide x 18" deep. Heres the picture: Im not sure the bar spacing, which is important. Does the bar spacing look too...

I have some questions about molting and pin (blood) feathers. Ive never really known much about them but that you shouldnt break them. So when do birds molt? How can you tell when they are molting and that they arent sick? What should you do when they molt? And about blood feathers, how do you...

I was at the parrot store visiting a Kakariki im getting and I guess his wings werent clipped enough because he was kind of flighty. I would pick him up and he would sometimes fly around or onto my head. I was sitting down with him on the chairs with my sister and I put my arm (with him on it)...

We went to the bird store today and I fell totally in love with a Kakariki! She was so sweet and cuddly! Im really considering putting a deposit on her but have questions, ive read they are very hyperactive and dont love to be pet, but shes the opposite! Shes a little active but pretty calm too...
