    Conure molting?

    Hi I’m concerned on whether my green cheek is molting or not. He just turned 1 year old recently and lately I’ve been noticing his chest feathers going away and on the floor. I don’t know the difference between if he’s plucking or if he’s just molting and would like some sort of clarification...

    Now a big proponent of pellets

    Hey all, I see a lot of discussion about pellets and their efficacy as a staple diet item. I am here to make a gentle case for them along with some anecdotal and scientific evidence to back up my claims. What spawned this post was 1) the general back and forth and confusion I see about parrot...

    Persistent Conure Sniffles

    Hello friends! I've had my gcc for 10 years and at the end of November she started sounding sniffly. Since then she has done two rounds of clavamox enrofloxacin and metacam and been nebulized regularly. We've also replaced all fabric toys and gotten an air filter and humidifier. We moved into an...

    Trimming my conure's beak?

    Hi all! First time post. So I have a conure, Jack, who broke about 50% of his top beak and as such we take him to his vet monthly for bottom beak trims. For some time I've been thinking about doing the trims myself and recently have really wanted to do that more. Primarily this is because every...

    Strange Behavior?

    Not sure if I am overthinking this, but my Rico boy kinda changed since I got him. I got him right before Christmas on Dec 17, and he got used to me, and used to hang around me. He used to fly to where I was and sit on my knees/chest/stomach. He's not a hand bird just yet (we are working on...

    Hi! I have a 10mo old F Indian/African Ringneck hybrid and a couple of months ago we added a green cheek (M 3mo old) to keep her company while my partner and I are at work.
