My bird seems to have a scab/small sore under her beak. She flew into the wall the other day when she got spooked and she seemed a bit shaken up but otherwise normal so i’m thinking that’s when the injury possibly happened. She’s been acting completely normal, eating, drinking, etc. It doesn’t...

are there any specific times in the year that birds get hormonal or aggressive? because i was hanging out with my bird earlier today and i thought something was off, since he kind of seemed like he was looking for an opportunity to bite, but didn’t find one, i then took him out maybe an hour and...

Hello, I just got this idea now after I’ve just asked a question on another category so don’t mind me haha. I’m going to build a custom bird cage at some point and want to make it look and act as a conure’s natural habitat. I know that conures can be floor dwellers, picking seeds and bits of...

Hi everyone, we got our our first pineapple conure 1 year ago, then we decided to have another conure recently, we got two yellow sided conure from the same clutch. We had this free flight idea two years ago, we started free flying our first lovebird with a group of free flight people, we train...

I recently brought home a 5 month old green cheek. He’s been really good so far… except for the fact that any time there’s fingers near his feet, he bites HARD! He doesn’t seem to be afraid of hands. He happily accepts treats, head scritches, and will even rub his head against me if he wants...

Cecil has yet another injury. I honestly have no idea how he did it, he just snapped a toenail somehow. I swear I try to infant proof everything so hard for this little guy, and he still just manages to get everywhere. He is by far the most curious and fearless bird I have ever met in my life...

Greetings! It was recommended to post intros in here so here I am! My name is Jayce and I'm a guy in my 20's who is in the medical field! I am (or atleast try to be!) active in Ohio's Aviculture scene! More importantly though, I'm CRAZY about birds! I've been working with/owning birds for some...

I recently got a request from a friend saying her cousin is looking to re-home two canaries. I would love to but I have a green cheek conure. I was wondering if it's possible to have them in the same room (housed in separate cages) together. I ket my conure out of his cage most of the day and...

Hello all! I’m glad to be here. I’m the proud mom of 6 feathered friends—-Cumulo (English Budgie), Sirius (green cheeked conure), Orion (Quaker parrot), Phantom (nanday conure), Luna (half moon conure), and Duke (dusky conure). Birds are the BEST.

every night rico and i go through a ritual for going to bed. he flies on top of his cage, we do a little bit of training (step up, come here, turn, etc) and then he gets tired and goes inside his cage. i say 'night night' and then cover him and we are good until morning. he gets 10-12 hours of...

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.

Last night I read a post on here which gave me the confidence to come out and type all of this, so I'd like to preface my questions with a bit of an explanation. I've been struggling with severe anxiety for a few years now, but I haven't shared this with anyone other than my boyfriend. It...

Located in Arkansas but willing to travel Moluccan Cockatoo / African Grey / two Green Cheek Conures Our parrots have been a part of our lives for 10 years, and they have brought us immense joy. We have a dedicated bird room and ensure they receive fresh chop and fruit daily. Their chop bowls...

Hi everyone! So I’m new here, I just recently got a GCC, and so I guess I kind of just wanted to see if kiwi (my gcc name) is looking good!! I am taking kiwi to the vet soon, but not until June sometime because it is so hard to find an avian vet near me!! Kiwi is 5 months old btw, I’ve just...

Hey! So I think I know what happened? Momo recently started waking up and chewing on her cage in the morning. She usually chirps for me to get her as soon as she wake up but started doing the chewing thing about a week or so ago. So I’m thinking maybe she went a bit to hard or something and it...

Hi again, I just noticed the bottom of Momo’s beak suddenly looks like it’s really flaky/peeling a lot. I think she might be molting right now so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it but the change seems so sudden and I’m really worried now? Does this look normal to you guys? 1st...

I'm sharing my experience with my Pineapple Conure and I hope this thread will help out all the newbies. Currently Coco (My Pineapple Conure) is around 8 weeks old and still on handfeeding. I got him when he was just 3-4 weeks old. So I faced a lot of problems in the past 4 weeks and I'm gonna...
