parrotlet

I’m glad to report that Lily’s vet visit confirmed she is healthy (minus the obvious malnourishment over the years on just seeds/treats). She has no health issues, and plucking was determined to be behavioral due to either stress or boredom. She has no obvious stress bars in her feathers, so my...

Hello everyone. Some of you may remember me from the conure or parakeet forums. Looks like as of last week, I am in the parrotlet forums too. My house just became an aviary @@; Lily (parrotlet) was an old bird of mine. However, due to unfortunate circumstances while I was in college, I had to...

What types of different species of birds do well towhee I'm not talking same cages but just being out of their cages? Do parakeets parrotlets and love birds do well together? Are Indian ringnecks okay to have with other birds Thanks in advance

So my little guy Tango is the angriest bird I've ever seen. He does not care for me, he steps up and gives kisses but that's it, he won't let me touch him or pet him and will 9/10 run away from me when outside the cage. His companion is Major, my parrotlet one year older who lost his brother...

Hi all, I recently acquired a proven and bonded pair of parrotlets whom I would like breed. I've read about full spectrum lighting that is beneficial for breeder birds especially in the Canadian winters. Anyone know how much light they should be getting and at what times? Thanks in advance. :)

My parrotlet Donut is the only bird in our household that doesn't say or mimic a peep. Her personality is very extroverted and lively and she's an adorable troublemaker. Her and I are VERY close and we do everything together. The other two birds aren't completely bonded with me yet, but they...

Hi all, I'm new to this page and wondered if anyone could offer me some advice please? :) I have 2 Parrotlets (approx 9 months old) they currently live indoors however we'd like to move them to an outdoor aviary. We've ordered a lovely big new home for them and now i'm trying to plan what...

About 5 months ago we adopted a Lovebird from a store called "Magnolia Bird Farm" They told us she was hand fed but I'm pretty sure she wasn't since she was hard to grab from her cage by the assistant at the store. Her name is Tiki and she is a Peach-Faced Lovebird. I've tried with her for a...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I became the owner of 2 green cheek conures (Jet and Falco) at the start of June and I'm pleased to say that they have been some of the best pets i have ever owned, I'm constantly being surprised at their level of intelligence and that they both have very...

I have narrowed it down to Linnie, Parrotlet, or Quaker Parrot and would like to hear peoples experiences with those and which would fit in best with my family. I only looked into birds I always already interested in, but if someone thinks of another bird that would fit in with my family better...

I am having a hard time figuring out which species is right for us/which one would be happy in our family. :) My bird experience: I grew up owning budgies and loved them, but have been waiting to get a bird until my youngest was school age (he just started 1st grade), and developmentally...

Hey so I'm going to be getting a parrotlet hopefully this weekend or next :) I have a couple choices though. There is a 2 month old male that will be available Tuesday, a 6 month old female, and. 10 month old pair. I can't decide which would be best for me. I want to get one (or the pair) that...

Hello, I was searching for DIY indoor aviary on The internet. But I couldn't find anything. So does anyone has a link to a thread or something. Because I'm planning to make a smaller aviary for my parrotlets and, Later a bigger one for probably a couple of parrots.:) Gino

I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I'm having with one of my Parrotlets. She is 2 years old and has suddenly become extremely aggressive with my other birds whenever food is involved. Even if she's not eating and another bird goes for the food dish, she will attack them...

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...

Hello! I'm an aviphile owner of a six month old Senegal Parrot, a nine month old Parrotlet, and a three year old Sun Conure. I've hand-fed all my birds, except the Sun Conure, and I hope to hand-feed more little babies in the future! I hope to post, learn, and comment with many of you on...

A little over a month ago my parrotlet lost the ability to use her feet and became very drowsy looking. This lasted about a 1/2 hour then she suddenly snapped out of it and returned to normal. She was fine for about 4 days and then the same thing happened again. Our initial vet visit confirmed...

My sweet tiny Parrotlet who crossed the rainbow bridge a while ago. I miss her :(

Okay, Jacky my parrotlet is going to be 4 years old in Feb. He's a habitual feather picker and will bite them off at the base. Sometimes he lets a few grow back, then he remembers how much he loves to pluck them. I'm going to guess it started due to a bad trimming about 2 years ago. He screamed...

Hi All, I adopted a 5 week old male, blue parrotlet named Charlie. I love him so much, but have been racked with fear that something will happen to him. He's so little and besides a couple of buggies when I was a kid, I've no experience with birds. He's still on formula, but is starting to...
