    Will adding a second parakeet make my female quieter?

    I've had my single female parakeet for almost two years now. She has a very large cage, about ten toys, and is very happy. She's tame and spends about three hours a day outside of her cage. She has a ton of energy and is loud. Lots of high pitched squawks whenever I'm not giving her my full...

    What does this green cheek conure behaviour mean?

    I've had my pineapple GGC for about half a year, and he's almost a year old. We get along well, but he does one strange thing that I still can't understand after searching the internet. Sometimes when I have him out, he'll move from my shoulder and sit under my chin, then make weird kind of...

    Can a Cage be TOO Big?

    Hi everyone! So recently I've been wanting to get my Conure, Georgia, a new cage. My schedule has been all over the place lately and some days she has to spend more in-cage time than either of us would like, so I have thought about buying her a larger cage to give her more room to play as well...

    How did you guys tame your budgie?

    My budgie is making good progress I think, and thanks to the people who gave advice, I haven't given him up. He accepts food from my hand easily and is getting better at target training. He won't go outside the cage and he still is scared of my hand (stays frozen) but for a bird that came from...

    Multiple pets? More specifically...

    Hi. I have an almost one year and 5-month-old green cheek conure, and I am considering adopting two pet rats.

    What type of bird is ideal for me?

    Hi! I am in the market to get an exotic bird, preferable a medium-large to large bird, like a Patagonian Conure or an Umbrella Cockatoo.
