behavior

Howdy all - my 6 yr old GCC Beepers had an off morning today. To start with - vet has already been contacted and appointments set! For some background, she comes out every morning when I wake up at 6 so she can get about 45 min to an hour out before I have to leave for work (which has been...

So June is on his day 2 with us. Yesterday he spent hours playing with his foraging game we set up, we managed to teach him some simple commands, and he was all-around a great birb. This morning he started out cute, ate his breakfast well, and then bit my ear so hard I thought it was going to...

https://youtube.com/shorts/7a32oYZUABE?feature=share Hey y'all! So over the past few months, Genji has been making a noise i'm not used to hearing from him. It almost sounds like the angry sort of noise a chicken would make, I don't know how else to describe it, almost like a squeak? or a...

Hi, y'all, hope you're doing fine! My BFA sometimes does this strange "sneeze" (I don't even know if that's sneezing) sound. Anyone knows what does it mean? Here's a video of it. Thanks in advance!

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...

Hello! First post!!! Long story short! I am fostering (to own) a 3 year old caique! She came from a good home; just wasn't given any attention the past year. She was considerably bitey with me at first but she's settled down a lot and has been a wonderful little companion. Very affectionate...

Hello! We had recently lost our amazing little conure, so we decided to adopt another that was in need of a home. We have had this little one for about 4 days now, and this is our second conure. This baby is 8 months old, currently clipped wings (we will not be reclipping) and today it is...

So, I'm out of ideas on how to fix this one. I have a hypothesis on why my right hand appears to have committed a crime, but am no closer to a solution. Bear with me as I do a full biopsychosocial assessment of my birds' wellbeing issues Context: I have a [female] GCC, Jerry, who is about 7yo...

So, i will star school again after sommer break. I came into the school i wanted and my classes will start on september 2. I am terriefied that this will have a negative impact on the relationship me and my b&g macaw have, and i have come to a realization that it will probably not be the best...

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...

Hello everyone. I have a bit of a problem. I adopted a male two years ago that has always been quite dominant and somewhat aggressive towards my female. They do mate but they dont cuddle or preen each other, they don't feed each other either. The female has recently laid eggs in the aviary I...

I have a 9 month old caique who recently started really licking my finger and nibbling it with tongue and all. He screams when I take my hand away so that he would stop. I've looked online for answers but get random answers so I wanted to ask here. He never did this before until a few weeks ago...

I was just wondering if someone could explain this kind of behavior. I do not really understand if he is just being playful or if he is hormonal. If I understand correctly, he should be coming into some kind of mating season right about now. I’ve also noticed that he talks a lot and is acting a...

I have had my GCC Kiwi (M) for a year and a few months now he is 1 and a half years old. Most playful talkative parrot I’ve seen he is also my first bird. Me and my girlfriend were away for a couple trips and had a close friend and my mom check up on him, 4 budgies, and a cockatiel while we were...

so i was sick over the weekend with a stomach bug... Rico didn't leave my side even one time. he didn't make a lot of noise, and i feel like he knew that i was sick. he was watching me the whole time, and he even preened me when i was sleeping. he picked the dead skin cells off my face as well...

Hello all! :greet14: Apologies for the long read but I feel I need to paint a complete picture of my little cherub to do the question justice. :) First timer on the forum, I hope this is proper protocol to place my story here! TL:dR I'm looking for your opinions and experiences with having the...

Im trying my best to provide him with good communication, toys, food etc. But this is what happens during the weekend only! Hes fine during the week, but then he gets like this during the weekend. He has fresh food, water and i played with him! What more does he waaaannnttt please help (File...

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...

Hey yall! long time no chirp, but i've had a busy year! It's a pretty dry time of year, and my 7 yo budgie Genji, always sneezes a little more often this time of year. But this year i'm noticing it's more often than normal, along with a few other things. He's sneezing 5 or so times a day and...

Okay so I’ve had to place each one of my parakeets in a separate cage recently because they all started fighting to the point where they were injuring each other. First Heisinbird really beat up Saul, splitting his lower beak down the middle, bruising his eye and inflicting a bite wound on his...
