Hello, currently I have 2 budgies who are a joy to watch, but don't like to be to be held, which I understand. I really want a bird that I can hold and get along with though. Sadly, with my busy work schedule, I feel like getting a parrot would not be the right choice, for I know they are very...

Hello! I am new here so my apologies if this is in the wrong place! I made an account here because this is my first bird, and despite the hours and hours of research, watching a video vs. actually caring for the bird can never compare. My question for this particular thread is: Is it necessary...

Hi I recently joined, and I’m looking for a new bird. I’m interested in one that would make a good ESA, I’d rather not have short live species ( budgie, cockatiel) but more like Quaker, conure ( most likely, or larger. I’d rather them be free with a cage, or at most a $30 rehoming fee since my...

Hello all! Recently, someone near me put up a yellow fronted canary (green singing finch) up for adoption. I think they are really interesting looking birds, sadly it seems like there isn't much unique information on them, mostly just basic "finch" information. Does anyone have experience with...

Hello! Recently there was a bird convention and I decided to get 2 young Budgies. Actually, I for the past few months I was torn between getting a canary or 2 budgies, but once there, I decided budgies. I just cannot resist their beautiful colors~ Anyways, My budgies are strange. I have had...

Hello All!!! As some of you may know, I recently got a green cheek conure, who is alot of fun. Currently, they don't really like my hand, but they love being around me. They'll do anything to get out their cage and be close to me. (they are not allowed on my shoulder yet because they are still...

Hello! My name is Olivia and I've been excited to get a bird for as long as I can remember. My father and grandfather were both bird-loving veterinarians so I have a cage at my disposal for no cost, and I've done my hours and hours of research on care and diet and all. Decided I'm looking for...

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I'm hoping to add another bird to my family and just met this sweet little guy, I've already fallen in love, but am wary because I've asked a local rescue to help find a feathered companion. I don't know what route to take?

I have a 7 month old male Cockatiel, tamed and clipped by breeder, hasn't molted yet, I have had a few birds in my past experience. My buddy is tame and steps up, likes having company. But he wont let me touch or hold him. He occasionally lets me scratch him a little in the morning, but other...

I reccomend anyone of any bird type to check out this book; The Parrot Wizards Guide to Well Behaved Parrots. I have boughten it a month ago and it is super useful. It teaches you clicker training, target training, tricks, flight training and so much more! It is about 230 pages and is useful for...

I have a 6-month old, wing-clipped male cockatiel (you can see him in my profile pic), he hasn’t molted yet. I noticed ever since we got him (about 3 months ago) he has these pin feathers all around his neck and head. He is super comfortable with me touching him but I never gave him a scritch...

Help!! So this week it’s been very busy for our family since we’re moving and I almost never have time for my little buddy. He always chirps/screams to get my attention and he always climbs on the cage walls! He is a wing-clipped 5.9 month old male cockatiel. Please tell me your opinions below...

I don’t know what games to play/ what to do when he is outside of the cage. I sing to him and let him sit beside me, but I don’t know what to do for fun. I don’t want him to be bored!!

I have a Male cockatiel, 5 months old, the breeder clipped his wings when they grew, he hasn’t molted yet. Also is it normal he isn’t singing? All he does is scream, and when he’s happy he doesn’t say anything, sometimes a chirp but no tweeting. Is this normal??!??

A few months ago I got a 4 month year old female lovebird (the love of my life), and I've been heavily considering getting a Quaker. Of course they would not house together, but out of the cage, would they get along? I've been researching them big time but any tips and information you could...

I have a male cockatiel named Flint that's a little over a year old. He's pretty feisty. My schedule has been busy lately, and I am unable to spend more than an hour and a half with him before having to go to bed. Not every day is like that, but it's gotten me wondering about getting another...
