After having this bird for only a little over a week, I've realized how much of a paranoid bird-mom I'm being. I'm throwing out Teflon pans, checking every product in my house to make sure its safe and just being super paranoid in general. Am I being too paranoid here or not? Everyone I talk to...

Hi there, I have just recently brought home my first pet bird, Mango the Cockatiel. We have a 5 year old mini poodle who has never hurt another animal, but has chased birds in the park (never caught one). His reaction to Mango so far is interest, whining, sniffing the cage, staring, and...

I have a 3 year old parrotlet and yesterday I noticed his poop was a clear liquid. Today I had him out and he pooped again, and it was pure liquid. Then I put him on me about 2 minutes later and he pooped again. This worries me for a few reasons. One, the consistency of his poop. Also the volume...

I love birds but I have two cats who are quite hunters any tips to keep them out of contact if I ever get one?

So it finally happened, my bird (a 1 year old Sunday Conure) regurgitated for me. If anyone has advice for how to handle this (if it happens again), I'd be glad to hear it! Since I wasn't sure what to do this time, I just picked him up, put him in his cage, and then refilled his favorite...

Recently I have gotten a GCC and I absolutely love him to pieces. My dad, as reluctant as he was to get a bird, is also obsessed with him, and thinks he is adorable ^-^. We are looking to get another parrot soon, preferably a small bird that can live in his current cage. (it is tiny and we...

I am a new mommy to a 20 year old female Goffin Cockatoo, Winter. I also currently have a 8 month old Sun Conure, Mikko. Use to have 2 budgies.

Hello, i wanted to get another bird after my budgie passed. First off, i know all birds are different in personality even in the same types but im asking in general. all birds are nippy and loud and and all but again im asking in general. so i just wanted to show all my "needs" for the bird...

A local breeder has 2 hand fed birds, one is a cockatiel and the other is a budgie. I did resarch on both and i did have a budgie before. The question is which makes a better pet? List your experiences down below please of each specie! 1. I heard that cockatiels go through the "teenage angst"...

Hi everyone! I'm a recent addition to these forums. My flock consists of two rescued house sparrows (Keelo and Pippin) and a pineapple green cheek (Ollie). If you'd like to hear our story and meet them I posted pictures and the story of the sparrows up on Welcome Lane. I came here to this...

As some of you probably know, I am new to being a bird owner and love my new friend very much. It is a young bird that I've only had for almost two months, so I expect certain things to be tricky. But whenever I use my spritz bottle to bathe it, it tries to fly away and it squaks at me. It picks...

I bought my cockatiel female a mate last year. for the first time I have put a nesting box in their cage. they have layed 2 eggs in the past week, were waiting for more. They have been sitting on them until today. I decided to go out and buy a better nesting box for them and I have placed it in...

I want to see all your fluffy little birdies enjoying your love and attention!! here is Leaf!

I really dislike keeping my birds (2 budgies, 1 cockatiel.) caged. The budgies seem to have a ball wherever they are, whether in the cages or outside, however my cockatiel much prefers to roam freely around my room. She'll scream if kept inside of the cage. She's developed a bad habit for...

Leaf has been chewing the paint off of the travel cage that I put him in to sleep. he absolutely refuses to sleep in his big cage. he'll go to the bottom of the cage and scream until I get him out and put him in the smaller cage. so I'm looking on Kings Cages for another travel cage that won't...

this insane bird was being a cutie then he attacked this video I took of himself because he hates anything that competes for my attention. including videos :lol:

a friend of mine was talking about having to go recollect her bird after the rehome went south. the guy fricked it up and she got a message saying her super sweet Cockatiel was biting which means that he doesn't understand birds. so she's going to have to go pick her up and then she'll come live...

looks like I'm about to start my feather collection!! I wonder how many baggies I'll end up with. :cool:

he decided to roll over on my chest last night while we were having birdie time :laugh: pardon my face lmfao I had just gotten off of work and I look a hot mess:rofl:

this Monday or Tuesday I got a call from the vet about Leaf and he is a boy!!! also, he is completely healthy and there are no issues so he can get his shots!!! I'm so glad that he came back with a clean bill of health considering he had never been vetted (to my knowledge) and I'm so glad he's...
