bird

Hello everyone! I have been interested in bird ownership for quite a while and have been doing a lot of research for the past few months. The problem I am having now is that I am not sure what type of bird would be best for me, there are so many that I am interested in. I have had some people...

I've done the research and I'm almost positive I want to adopt (I don't know if I can right this second). The only downside is that I'm under eighteen and I don't know if I can adopt because of that. The shelters near me require at least over eighteen and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

i've begun the journey towards getting a blue female p'let. i've done a lot of research, but i feel like i haven't had enough. all of the supplies i need will be around $300, but what about the bird? is there advantages of having a female p'let vs a male? what about advantages of a male? i know...

Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I’ve been super busy and got all tied up in life. Anyhow, I’ve upgraded Leaf to a giant boy cage and I’m looking for help on what is okay and what is not in terms of putting stuff in his cage. I’ll attach a picture and see what you guys think as well...

Hello, I am in Australia and I read in another thread we won't be able to get Java wood here. I am wondering what any alternatives would be and where to find nice branches? I was thinking Gumtree/Eucalyptus wood but not sure where to get it. Thanks

Hello all, I have decided to bring a new Fid into the family and upon research.. I have do a lot of research, but would like other thoughts from current YCM owners and their opinion on if I am ready for one. I currently have 5 birds, 2 Green Cheek Conures, 2 Lorikeets (Rainbow and a Musk)...

My ten month old tiel has been having abnormal poops. They are the usual color, but there are undigested seeds in them. What should I do? Is the urgent, should I visit a vet?

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.

Hello! I know that in Green Cheek conures, the Yellow-sided mutation and the cinnamon mutation are both sex-linked. When they combine, a pineapple is produced. How does a female green cheek show multiple mutations together when she only has one 'Z' available? And how can a normal-looking bird be...

Hi everyone, This is my first post here and it's a sad one. My lovebird can no longer stay with me. It pains me to say that I need to rehome her. My lovebird is amazing. She hatched on November 1st 2015. She is so active and she loves to be around people. She is a black - masked lovebird...

Hi, so my cockatiel is moving it's bottom beak weirdly and opening it's mouth very wide. It looks like it's alligning/moving it's jaw? I wasn't that worried but now it's making clicking sounds when she does it? I'm really worried and wanted to know if I should call the vet or something. She's...

I got my bird from the shelter about a day and a half ago and she hasn't eaten since then. I put some millet and some yogurt bird treats to try to entice her but she hasn't really eaten it. I'm getting worried and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on getting parakeets to eat.

Meet pip. She is small and sweet and is starting to come out of her shell. She loves looking at herself in the mirror and is very beautiful. This is my first parakeet and I absolutely love her.

Hi! My name is Ella. I am not a bird owner, but I came here to learn more about them, because I am a bird enthusiast! So far, my favorite birds are Budgies, Parrotlets, and Indian Ringnecks. I am hoping to get one or two (or 3+) in the future. :)

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 was hanging out with conure like normal and he pooped, but it doesn't look normal at all! I haven't changed his diet or anything. Should I be worried??

How do I know if my bird is bonded with me? I like to think he is, but I worry that its only because I'm the main person in his life, and I'm not sure if he's actually bonded to me. What are some ways I can tell if he is or not? (pictures for fun :)

Does anyone know of any Bird Meetup Groups around the Charlotte area? I've been looking for one but have had no luck! Also if there isn't one and I want to start one, what would be a good way to go about that? Thank you!

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...

Hai everyone! A new bird mama here. I'm absolutely loving the challenges that my little ones bring me. I have had a fancy parakeet I got in a pet store for about 4 years now. I decided I wanted to get a bird that would be more interested in me than singing to the birds outside. I still love my...
