behavior advice

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I signed up because of the small amount of information there is on kakarikis, so I'd love for some input from experienced people!! So I just got a 6 month male kakariki whom I named Whirl. I was told by the store (who took him in as a rehoming situation) that...

Hi, I'm having issues with my two male parakeets and my female cockatiel, any advice is appreciated. Lately it's been a real issue. My two male parakeets are Katkout (if I had to guess his age, I'd say 2-3yrs old?) and Beskout (1yr old). My female cockatiel is Kouki (guessing around 5yrs)...

So it's been a week. Little guy is making huge steps (he learned "step up" and "come here" perfectly)! I do, however, want to know if some of his behaviour is normal or smth I should eventually work on with him (he's about 5 months old now, so I'm scared of letting him keep unpleasant...

I've been having problems with my male cockatiel, Bruno. I love him so much — he's been my buddy for about six years, and he's around that age too. He's always been such a gentleman: got along with everyone, loved scritches, and although he can't sing in tune to save his life (lol), he tries —...

I currently have 3 budgies. 1F and 2M. 1 male is bonded to the female. They do things like preening each other, and feeding each other. The female has shown no interest in mating with the male (which i'm happy about) but they are mostly together. At times however she does attack him when shes on...

Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all. We have a kakariki parrot named Lily. We’ve had her for about a year, and she is now around a year and a half old. Over the past two months, she has developed two behaviors that we would like some advice on, so we can respond in the best possible way. The...

Anyone else's budgie's get more anti-social when they molt? My boy is usually a bit more prickly, but never anti-social during molts, but the past 3 days he's been less social than normal. From wake up to about 3pm, he's his normal self, does all his routines, and is very social. but from...

Hey! Background info; I am a first time bird owner! My cockatiel Mumble will be 1 year old in May, I’ve had him for almost 8 months. He sleeps through the night very well. His cage dimensions are 16.5x22.5x31” and filled with a variety of perches and toys, a hammock, and a puzzle toy. I only...

I have a 7 year old male cockatiel and I’m the original owner as I had him since he was a few weeks old. He’s never liked to be petted on the head or anything, it took me almost 3 months in the beginning to have him perch on my finger. I bought a pair so he came with a brother. His brother was...

Hi all, happy holidays! TLDR: struggling with frequent regurgitation. What to do when it comes up during clicker training? I “got” my lovebird Lola a clicker and some training toys for Christmas. We are on our third day of clicker training and I have some questions about regurgitation. Lola...

Hey ya'll! just wanted to check in and see if this is a normal behavior switch or not. My 7 (turning 8) ear old budgie, Genji has a pretty strict sleep routine and wake up routine that he follows diligently, and he's never shown must deviation in his night time behaviors. The past 2 days...

Hello! this is my 1st post here but I am a frequent visitor of this site. I have a total of 3 cockatiels at this time. 2 older females (Whiskey = 4years , Milkey = 7years) and a new addition to the flock, A male cockatiel called Cheese (approximately 1 year old). I got Cheese around a month...

This is quite possibly the last place I can turn to. My partner and I bought a young Indian ringneck from a breeder about five months ago, he was young (about 6 months). For the first 3 months everything went normally. He was weary of us as all new birds are, but eventually he trusted both of...

Cecil has yet another injury. I honestly have no idea how he did it, he just snapped a toenail somehow. I swear I try to infant proof everything so hard for this little guy, and he still just manages to get everywhere. He is by far the most curious and fearless bird I have ever met in my life...

Hey all! As the title states, i'm wondering what constitutes of "this is no longer zoomies, and is instead a sign of a problem"? My budgie Genji will usually have 1 or 2 points in the day (usually mid to late afternoon and right before bed) where he gets zoomies and will "boomerang" around the...

hello, i have two budgies and they are the first ones i've ever taken care of, so i am a pretty new budgie owner... i have a few questions regarding their behavior, im not really sure if i should be worried or not :shrug: and i also apologize if using "antisocial" in the title is considered...

My 1 year old Yellow-Crowned Amazon has been biting me recently and I'm not sure why. It's only me by the way, she's fine with my mom and any other people in the house who she's familiar with. Just a few days ago she was happily stepping up on my hand to spend some time outside of her cage...

I have an 8 month old green cheek conure and shes a cuddle bug. She is very sweet with people and loves attention, but now for some reason shes decided that she wants to bite. She is fed TOPS pellets, fruits and veggies. She has a lot of toys to chew on and a lot of outside time. She flies to me...

Hi :) I have a sun conure named, Skyler. I raised him since he was 3 weeks old and he’s now going on 4 years old. He is a very very good boy, we go everywhere together and he is harness trained. He loves to be around people and get as much attention as he can get from strangers. But when it...

So yesterday i got another conure. Shes a cinnamon one and shes only 9 mo old. The conure that ive had for a while is rico. Hes almost 2. Now, Rico saw Piña (thats the cinnamon head) and he was curious at first, but then wanted to attack. Hes a feisty guy so even when him and Piña are in...
