brown headed parrot

So we got Slade a new cage last weekend, this one. . . Well, he got moved from on the other side of the living room to right beside where I sit, so he's been pretty happy to be closer to me, even if we are still working out our relationship. My daughter and I are currently playing a video...

I cleaned and rearranged Slade's cage today and he wasn't happy at all. I have to take him to another room so I can clean without attack. But he's so cute when he's mad.

Which of these amazing foot toys from @webchirp to play with first? Spoiler: he picked the puffball lollipop.

My husband seems to think I'm kind of a jerk that I show preferential treatment to Slade. It's not even that much different then I treat the other two, but Ollie prefers my husband and Diggle my daughter. Slade loves me, plus we are still working on our trust bond. Slade also seems to get upset...

So, the forgetful person I am, I misplaced Slade's DNA cert that the foster gave me when I brought him home and I just found it. We had apparently misread his band from him and I checked the post here for what was on the cert and found it, African Queen Aviaries! I called her and she took down...

To preface, it's only been a week and a half since I adopted Slade, and I know we are definitely still getting to know each other and I don't expect it to be sunshine and roses from a traumatized bird, I just need some advice. So, I'm usually pretty good at reading body language from birds...

So, I thought after Slade (renamed from Cosmo) mauled me at the fosters that it would be quite a while before this would happen. I'm so excited that we're already building our trust bond and it's only been a week!

To anyone else here has owned or been owned by mixed species parrots, did you find it fun to figure out what traits the bird had from each species? I've always done this with mixed breed dogs so I guess it's nothing new. Some of the stuff I've picked up with Comso (soon to be Slade), is he has...

Hey everyone, So, I was wondering if there are any brown headed parrot owners out there that would be willing to share what it's like to live with their fid? I'm ready to add to my flock and I have the opportunity to get one of these darling creatures but I have some apprehensions... As you...
