Like too many of us, I've got a little dove here who is my heart and soul but access to an avian vet is miles and hours away so it feels horribly lonely and frightening when something goes "not right". I've tried the "on-line" services in the past and they always end with "get to a vet". If I...

Rehoming 2 Lineolated Parakeets - I have two males from the same clutch born 12/5/23 & 12/6/23. One turquoise and one green. Both have been to the vet for a wellness check and are in excellent health. They are currently on a pellet and fresh veggie diet. Comes with cage and some accessories...

Just out of curiosity... Thinking out of the box- What would a Blue series lovebird, Aqua look like if it also inherited 1 orange face gene from each parent? What might an Orangefaced Aqua look like? Also- A Green Turquoise? Green series bird with 1 "WF" genes inherited from each parent...

I'm new here! I have a very lovely companion who came to me with the name "Blue". I feel strange calling him blue because he is very clearly green! I call him "Bloop", "Boo" and "Booboo", thinking it's close enough to what he has been called before. He is very sweet, calm most of the time, but...

About a year ago I got two ringnecks and was told they are a pair and will be having eggs soon. 1 year later and my female parrot is looking like a male. But I'm not entirely sure. She has a slight black/orange ring around her neck. She dances to the male parrot and hits him too. She acts alot...

Hi everyone, New to Avian Ave. I am an avid bird lover, I have 4 feather babies I love so much and about to get a fifth. I just started my feathered family a year ago, and the addiction took off. (pun intended) I have had numerous other "pets" but birds are by far my favorite. Every day I'm...

Hello! I am new here so my apologies if this is in the wrong place! I made an account here because this is my first bird, and despite the hours and hours of research, watching a video vs. actually caring for the bird can never compare. My question for this particular thread is: Is it necessary...

Hello! This is an abrupt post but I am looking for someone to take in and care for my healthy 2 year old Green Aracari, her name is Zozo. Hatch date was on March 24. I live in Minneapolis and I am willing to put in some time and effort to find the right home for her. Right now the reasons...

Hello I have a confession to make. I was busy over the holiday and did not have the time to give my bird what I feel is correct amount of free time but when I did I usually had to leave again soon after I have only had the bird since august and I heard it can take months to step up train in some...

I just got a new Budgie yesterday! His/Her name is Shiro (like that TV show character) And I have some questions for all of you... Q1: He (I'm just going to refer to him as a he) is not drinking! (or at least I have not seen him drink) Is there a possibility that he being sneaky and taking...

Hello! I'm new to these forums, and actually I've never posted on any forum before, but I felt I really needed to right now. Avian avenue has been really helpful in the past couple of years while I've had my bird. About 3 days ago I noticed that my green cheek conure is keeping one of his back...
