body language

SO! I did my first deep cleaning of the cage for the lovie I’m looking after, we had him play around the house with my family while I was diligently cleaning everything in the bathroom :laugh: After I finished cleaning something new happened! I wish I caught a video of this but golly gosh it...

Hellooo it’s me again :laugh: thanks to everyone who helped me last thread! for those who didnt see my last post, i’ll quickly sum it up: i am temporarily looking after a 6yr old rosy faced (male) lovebird and i have no experiences with birds so i’m hoping i can get as much help as possible...

So ive decided to start potty training the birds and am having a lot of trouble figuring out when they are going to poop. I know that smaller birds poop every 15 ish minutes and bigger birds poop every 30 minutes or 1 hour (sometimes longer). Im just looking for body language that you guys use...

So I have started to notice that my lovie Chica, whenever she is perched on my finger and I walk through the sunlight that goes through my blinds she shakes her head similar to how cats and dogs shake their heads when you blow in their ear. She also does this when I turn my light on. She also...

Hi! I just brought home my first bird last Saturday. He is a 4 year old yellow sided green cheek conure, Nikola Tesla. I picked him out 2 weeks ago, shortly after he was dropped off at the bird shop. The people who had him before needed to rehome him, and he warmed up to me pretty quickly...

So my fiancé decided to adopt an 8 year old macaw that supposedly its previous owner died and their children didn’t want the bird. In rescue bird was apparently an angel loved everyone etc. personally I think he was scared and overwhelmed also due to the fact that he plucked most of his feathers...

Can anyone help me understand this. Usually Lada (Female red sided Eclectus) stands up right like we picture most parrots doing. Recently though she sometimes will transition to a horizontal position. Now lately she has been getting her flight feathers back in and sometimes she will assume this...

So I've read so much about conures. I've read magazines, text books, Google, just about anything I can get my hands on. But it still doesn't prepare you for all the language of a conure! My husband and I were in disagreement. We recently had a new person hold my bird, and I've never seen my...

Hey there! I adopted a conure from her previous owner a couple of days ago, and she is just the sweetest thing!! she sings and dances with me, lets me give her head scratches, eats treats out of my hand, and is otherwise acting really comfortable in her new home!! The only problem is that she...
