    Odd grooming routine with bird. Beak Maintnence

    Hi- Posting with a bit of a bizzare behavior that myself and my bird have become accustomed to. When I got my red belly (about six years ago), she had really bad beak flaking issues, and constantly had a chipping beak and would get food stuck in it and it seemed to really bother her. (She no...

    How To Preen?

    I have an African Grey, Ms. Bailey. As you all probably know finding her a cage-mate is an extremely difficult task since Greys are so hard to come by. I can’t even find a breeder that has any on hand right now. Anywho, Ms. Bailey’s feathers seem a bit scraggly and with her being an older bird...

    My poor little baby

    I decided to call this very nice lady that goes to your house and grooms your birdies because Winnie hasn’t been groomed for a while and I only used to do nails but now I did beak too because his was way too sharp. Of course I didn’t touch my baby’s wings because I love seeing him fly :heart...

    Indian Ringneck Nail Cut

    We recently brought our Indian Ringneck home, and I don't think his nails have ever been clipped. They dug into our skin and cut it up so after lots of research we decided to trim them ourselves since just a consultation at the vet is over $100 I know it will happen to every owner at least...

    Hi all! I joined today because I often come to this site for advice, and I wanted to share something! Cello is my little guy, he's a peach-face and he's been my partner in crime for a little over a year now. He loves scritchy-scratchies, and when I scratch him I always smooth the feathers...

    Nail trimming Toronto

    Hello! I'm looking for a bird groomer or pet store in downtown Toronto that can give our baby lovebird a nail trim. Usually I'd take her to our vet but apparently they'll charge for a full examination. Pekoe just had an exam last month... it feels a bit excessive to pay for another one when she...
