advice needed

I have a neighbor who has had birds for a long time. I have recently (about 4-5 months ago) first saw her 2 cockatiels. They are in an extremely small cage, probably never taken out before, scared of everyone and everything, on an only seed diet, with plastic perches and some kind of swings...

Hello, Today I found that there are no hairs on the inside of my bird's right wing. My bird seems to be molting right now, and his age is still less than a year. So I'm thinking my bird is molting. However, I would like to know your opinion if it seems that my bird is plucking. I will attach...

Hello! My bird weighed 63g when I get him by Petsmart, but when I measured the bird's weight today it is 65g. As far as I know, a regular Green Cheek Conure weighs between 60 and 80 grams. If you look at the picture of my bird, the kneel bone seems to be a little overweight, so the bird is normal..?

Hello, if you haven’t read my last post my conures had three babies and two of them died. You can check my posts for more information. I have the baby with the parents but I am handfeeding him. Should I separate him? I have a question. It is being so hard to feed the baby, he gives me a...

Hi guys,providing an update on my vet visit. I had to edit all my emotions out,as it was getting too long to read,so I'll just try and stick to the facts and make a separate post to cope later. I was told to collect fecal samples over a 24 hour period for the Friday appointment. I laid down a...

Hey Avian Avenue, I hope y'all are having a good day :) Sorry if the tags/thread/formatting is wrong, I just found out about this site. A pet care group took down a backyard breeder in my area a few months ago and shelters are still overflowed with parrots. It sparked an interest in me and I...

Hello, My bird is playing in a cage, and it spreads its wings short and fast like that and then folds it. When I saw on the internet, they said that the reason birds flap their wings is when they feel good or when they want to get rid of it because they are uncomfortable. I don't know why, so...

This weekend I’m going to be meeting with a couple Blue Throat Macaw babies and Miligold Macaw babies. I’m having a hard time decided between the two. If there’s anyone out there whose had experience with both can you tell me some important characteristics of the two? I’m wanting to know the...

Hello. I am not sure if i should write here but i am sorry if i wrote it in the wrong place. I am now taking care of a Green Cheek Conure. I'm spending a lot of time with bird now because of the corona epidemic. Now, if I go to work after the pandemic is over, when the bird is alone, he will be...

Hello, My bird steps up to my hand, but he likes to sit on my shoulder. As I see some information about birds on internet, I saw that birds should not be put on the shoulders or head, because if the birds were on the shoulders or head, the ranks were higher than humans. My bird prevents it from...

Note this may be a long story but I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing for this bird and myself. I’ve been looking into getting a Macaw for awhile now. My best friend of 10 years got her blue and gold macaw 3 years ago. I’ve been with her from the very start with her bird. Even...

So a few weeks ago we noticed our cockatiel Cricket acting kind of strange. One night he was eating and tried regurgitating. Nothing came up. He then began to exhibit some very strange behavior. He would begin feverishly “preening” his chest, close to his crop area. But he wasn’t actually...

Ask Yoshi my GGC is quite aggressive at times to the cockatiels. Today he pulled a few of Kiya’s feathers out and at one point they were both on the net and Yoshi went to Kiya so she jumped off and then Yoshi bit hold of her tail feathers and I had to get over to help Kiya. luckily she was fine...

I have a green cheek conure called Emi! she’s lovely! she’s super playful and friendly. the only thing is is she’s very attached to me, which is fine i don’t mind most the time! at night times when i put her to bed she still is desperate to come out and play. even at 8:30pm after a day of...

I've had my budgie for a few months now and she has only been eating millet ever since. I tried giving her fruits and vegetables when I first got her, but she ignored them (I did not try feeding her directly, only leaving them in the cage for her. I boiled carrots, I gave her peeled slices of...

This is my budgie Tiki. A few months ago, I was worried about his beak and also about how to get closer with him so I posted here! I got so much feedback and I am thankful for everyone's advice. His beak is definitely better! I am still confused about his gender - but I believe it's a male...

Hello everyone. Me and my stepson built our first Avairy today and will be kitting it out over next few weeks. We are looking at getting budgies but also like lovebirds. Read so many different reviews saying yes can be houses together and no they can't. Has anybody got advice please

Hello, I wasn't sure where to ask this but eventually found this forum. I am intending to move out of home in just over a year, but need to start looking into this now to decide whether it is safe for me to take my lorikeet with me or if he will have to stay with my mum. I know for some...

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but recently my bird (Pineapple GCC) has taken a liking to my father. He has a habit of feeding the bird treats like salted pasta, bread, cheese, chips and even chocolates. He doesn't want to cooperate on not allowing the bird that kind of...

Hi! My name is Danielle. I'm a 27-year-old registered nurse from San Francisco, CA. I recently welcomed an almost-six-month-old Solomon Island Eclectus boy into my home, named Pancho(or "Panchito" if you like). He has been home with me for a little over a week now, and so far, all seems to be...
