Hey there! Brand new to this forum. I recently moved to Alaska but left my sun conure Simba behind with my parents so I could settle in before moving him up. Now that I'm pretty settled, I'm getting more and more anxious about getting him up here with me. He's a pretty nervous bird, getting...

Heya! I am looking for ideas on a safe, secure place to board my precious baby, Bongo, or a reliable service that provides Pet Sitting at home, though I doubt I'll find the later one being that I live up more in the northern country areas of Minnesota. Anywhere in Minnesota is close enough for...

I am planning on going home for Thanksgiving. I will be there for 3 days, flying to and from for 2 of them. The flight is only an hour. I was wondering if I should bring my Conure. She will have been with me for 2 weeks before this flight. I don't want to leave her at home as no-one will be...

Hi! So I recently adopted a 4-month old Green cheek conure named Mango. He belonged to my friend but she couldn't take care of him so I took him in. The problem is, I need to travel to Jordan for 4 months and I want to take him with me. I booked for the 16th of August which is a little over 2...

I'm travelling home for a few days with my GCC on the train. Just wondering if there are any dangerous fumes on a train I should be wary of? I don't think there are but I wanted to make sure :) he has a travel cage, food and water and toys as well as a cage that we'll assemble once we arrive up...

Dear Members, Can anyone help me, my male lovebird quite often turns head like it is looking to his shoulders or something is bothering it. Recently we traveled and it was in a cage. I dont know what has happened to it. Can anyone help if any medicine can help?

I'm looking into a small travel carrier for my GCC and Sun Conure. Currently my GCC has traveled, to the vet and back, in a small plastic cat carrier. However, there isn't enough room between the top of the carrier and the spot where I could place a perch. So when traveling he clings to the...
