behaviour

should I be worried about Buck perching on one leg? He's been doing it almost everyday for a couple days now. Hes eating and drinking and playinh like fhe usual. He perches like that in his cage at the end of the day or in the morning while he is on my shoulder. Is this just normal behaviour of...

Recently my housemate decided to get a pair of young green cheek conures, brother & sister that are almost inseparable but also good with people. My green cheek is purely a one person trusting bird, skittish around other people unless treats are in the mix, great around other birds & dogs BUT...

Hiya, I am new to the forum and to bird keeping and I just picked up my baby lovebird yesterday. It's (not sure on gender) doing well eating, drinking and exploring. But today it keeps going between napping and having so much energy he's pacing his cage and flying all over the place. He doesn't...

Recently Ro has began to sit in the spray of the cool mist humidifier. She isn't too hot but likes to be in the spray of the humidifier. I have it close to the cage as it is a small one and the only one ( I do need to upgrade) so that she can get the humidity. I don't believe this is awful for...

Hey everyone, so I’m new here and to bird owning. I just got a 6.5 month old male peach-faced lovebird and I have a few questions. Before I got the bird I did some research and Lovebirds seemed like a good way to go for me. I have a medium Hagen Vision cage (I think that’s what it’s called) with...

So i have a new Green Cheeked Conure, He/She was not planned, he just flew into our house starving about a month ago. i haven't found his owner I've asked around neighbors i know own birds and around the block, and checked lost/found pet sites, but nothing. He was very nippy/territorial at...

yesterday Leaf started regurgitating. he was in his big boy cage and he was on the floor of the cage bobbing his head then bringing up bits of his treat (Nutriberries) then he would eat it again. he did this a couple of times, while in view of me suffering on the couch with some really awful...

this morning I found out what Kristen (the woman who messaged me to take Leaf since he was attacking her boyfriend) was talking about when she messaged me about Leaf attacking her boyfriend. Bow was chilling on the couch (she was allowed out while Soap was kenneled because Soap is prey drivey...

I feel like my budgie might be afraid of hands but he still lets me hand feed him in, on, and off his cage. He won't let me get near him in or on his cage without food, but away from the cage he's completely fine. What's going on here?

Hello everyone! So my parents decided to get a macaw. I read through some other threads and everyone here seems super kind and understanding, but I feel it necessary to let everyone know, they have thought about it for years and have previously owned conures, but never anything larger. They just...

Does anyone know of any pdf files, books or films on individual pigeon behaviour? Like pet behaviour? I can find endless references on parrot behaviour but very little on pigeons and doves.

Hi, I'm new here--I started this account to get some advice on a situation I'm having with my partner's bird. I hope I'm posting correctly. To be honest, I am so unbelievably exhausted by our bird situation that I can barely see straight. Here is my story: I have been with my boyfriend for 5...

Hello, I have a 17 moth old green cheek who like to talk to corners (dark or well-lit) and dark places-- not just 'nest-like' ones, but also tubes that he can't fit his head in and gaps between stacked books. We like to joke that he's 'talking to the void', but does anyone have any ideas of what...

Hi everyone, this is my first time here and I need a bit of help. I've had an Indian ringneck parakeet for about two months now. She is absolutely beautiful, but I've never come across a more nervous bird in my life! I've been trying to train her, but the only progress I've made is being able...

my 10 week old Linnie, which I have already introduced in another thread, doesn't seem to drink from his/her bowl. He eats the seeds he has in one bowl but I haven't seen him drink from the water bowl. I've misted him and after I do that, he starts to lick the water off of his perches. Should I...
