    Strange reaction

    My Pineapple was playing with my mom’s ring and had this strange reaction, which he has never had before (see video link below). His head bobbed quickly with his beak open. It happened about 3 times in a row. I was concerned, so I took him away from my mom’s hand as quickly as I could. I...

    New Bird Owner, Need Help

    So about two months ago, I got a baby cinnamon conure. His name is Jasper, and he's been developing good. He already knows a few words and he can mimic a kissing sound. He drinks a lot of water (not to the point where it's a problem, though) and he eats a LOT! I'm just worried about his...

    Green Cheek Conure bobs head and then bites

    Hello! So I recently got a Pineapple Green Cheek Conure and he's (not sure if it's a boy or a girl) about two, almost three months old. Sometimes when I take him out of his cage and put him on the top of the cage, he'll start rapidly bobbing his head and then bite my hand hard. What does this...
