Ok so today I was cleaning out all my bird cages and the budgies were being particularly noisy today. The way my room is setup (until I move into the new place) LuLu can pretty much get around the entire room without flying as her wings are REALLY clipped. LuLu is still settling in so she hasn't...

I have a few other parrots, but Sam is our first big parrot && he just happens to be one of the most demanding parrot species. He belonged to my mother, she recently passed away. She asked me to take him, && I promised to do right by her. I knew I was going to be getting him soon before she...

Hello, I'm from Arkansas, full time student and petcare lead at petsmart. I have a Indian Ringneck, Quaker parrot, cockatiel, and a Moluccan Cockatoo.

Well let's start: I noticed that this is an awesome forum. I mean, it's an encyclopedia itself! But what I also noticed, is that it looks a bit outdated. I mean, do you remember how Windows 98 looked like, sharpy edges, gray theme, boxes here and there.... The forums need a different look, a new...

Hi we have a Blue fronted amazon parrot and he has free roam of the house, but we wanted to do something special for him. We are going to build him an inexpensive outdoor aviary. We already have wood for the frame of the aviary. Will this wire mesh work for the aviary? Shop Blue Hawk 48-in x...

Hello. I'm from Beirut, Lebanon. I got my parrot on 19th of May, a Jardine's Parrot, named Timmy. I had an African Grey like 10 years ago, when I was a kid, but he died for unknown reasons (Probably because we trimmed his wings two days before his death) and I wanted to start all over with...

So I'm trying to train my parrot (Jardine Parrot) not to bite me, by feeding him rice cakes when he doesn't bite me while I scratch his beak (through cage bars) But sometimes he licks my finger then close his beak on my ginger like biting it but he doesn't apply much pressure (it's not...

Since my cage door is a bit small, I decided to remove the ceiling of the cage, so the Jardine Parrot I brought 3 weeks ago could get outside, since he's always pushing himself through the bars. But he flew high in the room, flapping and flying. He bited my dad and it was chaos in the room and...

Yesterday my parrot was liking my when I stroke his beak. Today I noticed while he liked me that his tongue's tip is kinda orange-ish. I don't know if that is normal, but it got me worried. He's been here since two weeks btw, and never been out cage. Is licking a good sign?

Is it safe to paint a parrot's nails? I painted one claw (of our Blue Crowned Conure) without really thinking about it... X( I held him for a while and made sure it was dry before leaving the room, and I've checked on him and he doesn't seem to be picking at it. And I did it quickly in a...

So whenever I wanna touch or stroke my parrot's head, I get a bite intention. But when he gets his beak out though the cage bars, I can safely touch and stroke his beak. When I go upper to his head, he makes a baby-like voice and gets away. He's a Jardine, I guess over a year old, not sure. But...

I made him a swing perfectly but he just chewed the wood. It's industrial wood so I removed it because of chemical products concerns. Any other toys idea? Or games I can play? P.S. I can't get him out if the cage since it's only been 1 week. But he's not that nippy
