bird

Hello everyone, I acquired a yellow naped Amazon (male) that's around 25 years old around December last year. He was badly abused and I took him in a changed his diet, got a new cage and all was well for about 3 months. He likes to play aggressively and I generally don't mind it but lately...

Hello, new to the site, I’d sure appreciate some help. We have a black capped conure, 3 years old. Used to be such a lovely, snuggly little guy. Hit puberty about 8 months ago and was very, very aggressive. I believe I prolonged this behaviour by continuing to cuddle and kiss him when he wasn’t...

Hello fellow bread makers and bakers. I am an avid sourdough baker and have transformed all of my bakeware/cookware to PFA/non toxic since getting birds. I only use ceramic, glass and cast iron. However, I recently have been seeing so many great things about the silicone bread mats used to take...

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...

I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same as me, but I use the BirdTricks Seasonal Feeding System for my GCC breakfast... and then for dinnertime is when I have a problem. I know the birds should always get fruit and veg (which he does everyday!) and his pellets (TOPS)... but for dinner I am...

My name is Nidra or Kris, and I have a little pineapple green cheek conure named Rico Suave. I am here to gain knowledge and improve on my bird mama-ing! i love coming to this forum and reading y'alls threads. :) pic for tax.

Some context: It's a 5.5 year old cockatiel, been with us for the majority of its life. From what I know it only likes to be outside of the cage and prefers eating and drinking if out of the cage. We only use the cage for vet visits. On the 21st (figured I'd look for answers in advance), we will...

Hello, i have a sun conure for over a year and a half, so literally before half an hour i found something on his head it looks like ingrown feather.And because he is growing new feathers i thinks its that but also looks look like a healed wound. i will contact vet tomorrow but i want to know or...

Context: This post is to leave your insights and help. I have a 5 year old whiteface cockatiel that I have owned for around the same time. Ask if you need more context. For now, I mainly need help with the Augmentin part. My bird does not like being grabbed, keeps moving its beak and all. It...

Hello Pigeons lover Hope you are all well. Hope your pigeons are well also. I am from Mymensingh Bangladesh. I have a white pigeon loft for the last 5 years. Hope you will visit my pigeons and give your love. I love pigeons very much. Thanks mympigeons

(I don't know where to put this, so mods can put it wherever appropriate if this isn't) (FYI: My timezone is GMT+3) "Again" meaning I took my cockatiel to a vet this Oct 2nd because of stool/poop suspicions (notably seeds in stool, bubbles in stool, the vet noticed diarrhea too). "Saturday"...

Hello everyone, I'm a worried mama right now hopefully you guys can give me some suggestions. So here's the context. Mama bird is widowed from about 1-2 weeks ago. Last bird Luno died due to pneumonia. The day he died was the day their first egg hatched. Currently there is only 2 chicks of 2...

Hello my fellow Bird LOVERS! I have some new borns, any names suggestions that Start with the Letter P ??

So far he seems fine, and no obvious/major bleeding after a few look-overs. He’s in bed right now and I’ve popped over to check on him a couple times and he seems just fine. I’m just extremely paranoid and would appreciate some reassurance. He was sitting next to me when something freaked him...

Hi all, my almost 5 month GCC appears to be molting. I am concerned because it seems so young. He’s been losing a fair amount of the fluffy down feathers for no apparent reason (no plucking, and even when he’s not grooming). Behavior wise he doesn’t seem out of the ordinary- sleeping as usual...

im gonna be on vacation with my mum for 4-5 nights and cant take my cockatiel with me and now i cant sleep for two nights stressing about it, the good thing is i have someone to take her while im away (my dad) but my problem is he never had a bird so for her to have out of cage time is not an...

Baby canaries have red spots on their backs. Also, the mother had red spots on her feathers because she was sitting in the hatch. What could be the problem with baby canaries? Do you have an idea? Thanks

Hi all, I am asking for urgent advice on signs and symptoms to look for initial respiratory illness/sickness from cooking smoke. I was making popcorn on the stovetop when I started to smell it burn, I immediately took my GCC to a bedroom. His cage is about 12 feet away from the kitchen. I could...

i’ve been considering an African pied crow, over a year of research has been put into this idea and i’m planning to make my decision 2-3 years from now. They’re pretty close to impossible to find here in Canada but I’ve been eyeing a specific breeder in the US so i figured i would need to drive...
