I've been thinking about making a new addition to the family. I'm just now seriously researching which type of parrot would fit for me. I'm home a lot and have a lot of space. Money is an issue so I wondered what the monthly fees and vet bills look like. I would like to offer premium care so...

Hi! I recently found this forum and I love it! I don't actually know anyone with a bird so it seems great for getting advice and tips. I am a teen girl who owns a 7 year old male peach faced lovebird, or more he owns me. His name is Osky and he mainly loves to snuggle and destroy things like...

I got my first parrot back in November of last year (Nix is a blue quaker/monk parrot) and I noticed a little while back he would hang around the left corner of his cage and just chew at it. I know cage chewing it something we can't control but I didn't realize that he was actually eating the...
