Hi! My little lovebird Piplup decided that it was time to become a single mom and laid 4 eggs (last one on March 24th)
She is starting to loose some interest in the eggs and leaves them for some time during the day now, but not prolonged periods of time. So I was wondering if I can already...
Hi, new here, from the UK.
I have a green cheek conure that we hand raised ourselves, silly tame! No issues.
We recently rescued a female Indian ringneck, very little is known about her past, she’s 3-4 years old, told that she prefers women (she definitely does), that she loves to fly and was...
Hey everyone. I got a conure from a lady who rescued him about two weeks ago. She said he is very hand skittish around men, but seems to be okay with women. She suspects he was abused by a man. He lost one of his toes at some point.
When I first brought him home, he was extremely aggressive. He...
Hello!
Yesterday I adopted an African Ringneck, Cotton, from a local rescue. His history as they know it - the previous owner got him at 9 months of age and over time he was more anxious and started losing feathers, then plucking. He was diagnosed with a yeast infection of the skin. The rescue...
Is this?
my rescued galah has been doing this weird flipping around thing and screeching when I screech 😂😂
He screeches when I yell at my kids aswell.
for those that haven’t followed, echo was found in the wild with an injured leg, it’s currently broken, it doesn’t seem to bother him and he...
December marks the 6th month I've been living with rascal, a 37 yr old umbrella cockatoo. As I write this Something I'm happy to say he is sitting in my lap getting head scratches and "good boy" 's its a little difficult writing with one hand but ill make due.
If your interested in my...
Lola is a rescue and she is very sweet and loving. I have no history on her except that except that she's been living with a wonderful couple for the last 2 years that had rescued her from a chain smoking asthmatic. The lady that rescued her already had a macaw and there was a power struggle...
i have an African grey. he is 20 years old and is a rescue from an abusive household. i don't know his gender but i ASSUME he is a boy based on his behavior.
Archemedies is my childhood pet. i have had him for roughly 14 years now and we are about the same age. slowly over the years we have...
Hello 👋 we have recently taken in a rescue GCC (Pepito) and I have a few things I'm concerned about so thought I'd write my own post after looking through a few threads.
Firstly her diet is not not great. She was previously fed only seed mix and human junk food ie. McDonald's fries, ice cream...
Hello:) today I have a question concerning my Galah. For the past few months he has been aggressive towards myself and everyone else that he comes intact with, what I mean by that is he's friendly with me sometimes but cant be around anyone else. He was once friendly to whoever he meets but...
Hi there,
Two days ago I ended up taking in a young (possibly fledgling?) grass parakeet that was getting bullied in an acquaintance's aviary filled with budgies. The parakeet is still ground bound, incredibly shy, and has sustained some injuries. I asked if I could take her because she was...
I adopted a 6 year old male indian ring neck :blue2: named pluto who has had a rough life so far. His first home was a parrot hoarding situation where he was likely also abused, when he was 1 my sister in law bought him and since then he has been in her spare room with a quaker. In those 5 years...
I adopted a WBC around thanksgiving with a broken beak. A little background- someone dropped it off saying it's beak had been bitten off as a baby, it is now 3-5 years old. The owner had a ton of birds, had a heart attack, and had to get rid of them all. The store didn't know much more and I...
Hi everyone. I collected a middle aged Senegal on Sunday. His previous owner ( an elderly lady) had died and he'd been dumped in a pet shop. I think he's been there a while. He is lunging at the bars and I know if I gave him the chance, I'd get a nasty bite. I have given him his space and not...
Hi!
I joined last November, but only became active in the forum recently. I adopted a middle-aged Patagonian Conure from Feathered Hearts Rescue last year, and the adjustment to having her in our home and lives has beeb occasionally challenging and mostly enjoyable.
A couple of adorable...
Saturday night I enter a new pet store. A cozy little reptile store where I handle a few stunning burmese pythons and chat with shop staff before closing. A nice place...for reptiles. Not for the amazon parrot shaking quietly in a corner, locked inside a little parakeet cage atop a python tank...
Hi all, I am new here and really looking forward to the insight of others who know what its like living with a parrot !
Heres my story, Ill try to make it short and spare you the dramatics.
Two and a half years ago I adopted a female Eclectus who I named Coco. She was 4 years old...
the person that lives next door gave me their indian ringneck for free! she said she got it from a family for $50 including its large cage. she told me that the people that had it treated it very badly, its cage was in discusting condition, she told me their kids would poke it with sticks and...
