Chico playing in his playtree. Killing that bell!

Hello. Good morning from the Netherlands. Chico is my one year old Amazon who's been with me for about a month now. We're getting along really well and we're having a great time together. Chico is very playful and I like that very much. He has lots of things he can play with. He also likes to...

I have a male blue-throated conure, he's about 7-months old. I understand that messing around and being everywhere is a normal thing for such a young bird. The problem is, from what I can see, he "likes" to go to my dad and bite him when he [dad] accosts him [bird] by "tickling". Sorry for...

Reginald is finally playing! He turned one in early February of this year, but until very, very recently, he hated toys. He'd chew on a couple for a few days, then ignore them. He loves to beat up on bells, but that was it. And he loved to throw things on the ground. I had tried ropes, bells...

My little 9 week old greencheek, Kingsley, is very shy with hands, but for some reason he LOVES hopping onto my head and rustling around in my hair- biting it, rolling around in it- just being a total weirdo in general. Why do you think this is? It's not really a problem and I'm glad he's at...
