advice needed

I always supply my bird with fruits and veggies but she never eats them, i always find them thrown to the bottom of her cage. How do i get her to eat them.

(Im reposting that here where it is more relevent) I want to adopt a little feathered friend and I kinda fell in love with caiques... But I've read a lot about them and I am a bit weary of their agressivity. I am wondering if behavioral issues can be avoided/alleviated with a combination of all...

Hi! Im a passionate bird lover and I joined to gather information on birbs :) I want to adopt a little feathered friend and I kinda fell in love with caiques... But I've read a lot about them and I am a bit scared of their agressivity. I am wondering if behavioral issues can be...

I just got a parakeet from the shelter and we set up her cage and transferred her. She is already trained to perch on your finger but she will not let me take her out of her cage and she just stands in the corner and will not eat or play with her toys. It's only been a day but i'm worried and...

hi guys! I'm a new member and I'm urgently seeking some advice from people who have successfully been able to get their bird to stop screaming. I've spent so much time and money trying to get my little guy to stop screaming and nothing has worked, and I feel like I'm at the crisis point now...

this is actually my first every post, unfortunately it is not a happy one. ok here we go. i have a male peach faced lovebird by the name of pocket that is about 12-13 years old. i have been considering rehoming/surrendering him on and off for the past 2 years, not because of any behavioural...

Hi everyone ! I currently have a 7 month old female CAG :laugh:and am planning on getting a second bird in anthe near future. I have always wanted a macaw ( i am open to looking at other birds also) and was wondering what would be the right time to introduce another bird into the family.. i...

I have a 2 1/2 yr old male B&G and a 2 yr old male Scarlett. Up until a couple weeks ago they’ve both always been bonded to me. The B&G recently became aggressive towards me anytime I go near the Scarlett. I took him to the vet a couple days ago and was told that he’s matured and is now sexually...

So, I've done a lot of research and a lot of digging around for which bird might be right for me. But of course, I'm always up for more advice. I've talked to my family about it and they all seem fine with getting a bird. I believe being flexible is very important when picking a bird, because no...

Hey so I just got a baby sun conure about 3 weeks ago that has been weaned but still begs for formula especially in the morning. She's about a little over 4 months old and from what I've heard I'm scared she can turn to be one of those birds that's always need formula. I've been handfeeding her...

Hi all , I write seeking advice. My 4 yr old Amazon has recently started showing biting behavior. I have tried addressing the cause of the issue , but cannot seem to arrive at it. At first I thought it was due to hormones but I'm not completely sure. There is not any particular time at which he...

Hello there! My name is Char and I'm the recent owner of a new peach face named Pico! I got him a few weeks ago from a pet store and he's an absolute sweetheart. He doesn't bite (yet at least!), is very active and loves to flutter around to explore. However I have a few concerns. I'd like to...

Hi all , I just noticed that my amazon Fid is pooping yellow , it was the first time it happened , I will attach a picture , if anyone knows what is the cause please share some advice , I am organizing to see the vet asap but there is only one vet in Trinidad trained to see exotic birds so I...

So when I first got Valentine RB2 he had this nasty habit of going into shoulders and biting ears. I think his first owner allowed him to do it to be honest... It took me a month or so, but the behavior went away. I would remove him, and. place him on the floor for a moment . He learned pretty...

Hey all! This is a LONG post! We picked up 2 canaries and 2 finches from a rescue sanctuary towards the start of March. Initially they were in a small cage with no perches when we got them. All of them have damage to varying extents on their feet (some bent and even missing toes :() and the...

I have two budgies. I never really wanted budgies, they're cool little guys, and for many I have no doubt are great fits, but not really for me. I'm just not a little bird person... I got Daryl the budgie as a sick budgie from a local pet store. Not a good store but that's a little off topic...
