    Chipper needs to lose weight. Help please!

    I took my parakeet, Chipper, to the vet a couple of days ago to get her claws trimmed. They always weigh birds whenever you bring them in, which I like. But it turns out Chipper is WAY overweight. (The vet tech said she's "a little chunky"). I knew she has been getting a little chubby, but I...

    Trust Training Rescue Budgies?

    Hello, I have four male parakeets which haven't been mine for more than a month. It started with one parakeet (Articuno), then a friend gave me Sheldon because she thought he'd be happier with a friend, and finally I got two others from a lady who knew I had two parakeets and couldn't take care...

    Plum Headed Parakeet - Advice Needed

    My wife and I recently put a deposit down on a male plum headed parakeet baby. We currently have an 8 month old female green cheeked conure (pineapple) that has been a joy to live with. There really is next to no information on keeping plum heads as pets on the internet, just a couple videos...

    Parakeet with wounded foot/leg

    HI. Our parakeet is between 5 and 8 years old. Between wing clippings she got startled and flew to the window sill but then fell to the floor (6 weeks ago). Her wings were not hurt (checked by a friend who is a more experienced bird owner) but one of her feet doesn't seem to work right anymore...

    Parakeet help? (Biting & Touching)

    Hi bird lovers!(: I'm new here, and I have a parakeet named Kiko. At night and in the evening, he sits on the perch closest to the outside of the cage. Thus meaning that I can easily pet him through the cage. I've never actually pet him before, because whenever I stick my finger in there, he...

    Greetings from Boston

    Hi Everyone, my name is Brian but my user name is Bynnie... I got that name from my niece when she was very young. She called me uncle Bynnie because she couldn't say Brian, so it has stuck with me for the last 15 or so years. I bought a pair of parakeets about 10 years ago when my wife and I...

    After effects of a possible concussion?

    My Alexandrian parakeet is in a habit of flying around the house & we haven't gotten his feathers snipped; so he's usually all over the place whenever he's out of his cage. Today he ran into a glass door & a wooden one when he was following me into the kitchen :( He still made there but hit the...

    My kakariki is being mean!

    I have no idea if it's male/female, we call it a he. He's about a year old now. We got him from a local pet store that is really particular about who they give their pets to. They make sure you have all the right things for the pets and even want you to bring the cages in before you take them...
