    Why is new bird biting me

    I got this hand raised 2 month old cockatiel yesterday. All yesterday she stepped up and seemed friendly. Now, she hisses at my hand and has done multiple bites (no pain) She doesn't like to step up anymore either. Why is she being aggressive now?

    Does my bird hate me

    Hello! I've had four budgies for the past months, none of them is hand tamed but they all don't fear me anymore, which means head rubs and angry babies when I'm giving attention to someone else. They are great, and I love them immensely. Two days ago I had a trip to the petshop to buy some of...

    Rescue Lovebird

    I have a fischer's lovebird named Bria who I rescued last November. (I have no idea it's age or gender but I just call it a she) She flew into a spiders web in my yard and I eventually caught her. I looked for her owners for months and no one came forward so she now has a loving, forever home...
