Hello, I’m looking to find a mate for my 10 year old Orange-Winged Amazon Parrot. She is genetically perfect, no past injuries, not past illnesses, no mutations, and she is showing nesting behavior (I have given her a nesting box so she may show these behaviors healthily). She is incredibly...

Hi, so like 15 minutes ago i noticed a strange bump under my cockatiels nostril and im very worried. He's acting normal, its not red at all, and he's not having any difficulty breathing. I read it could be a pimple or a cyst. Anybody have any idea?

hey! i am in need of some advice :) wondering if a cage with the dimensions 83.3cm W x 53.3cm D and 146cm H, (32.6 in x 21 in x 57.5 inches) would be large enough to split into two (have a top and a bottom section) to house two birds. so say you split the height in half-ish. the birds in...

Hi! I went to a pet store recently and picked up some dried peas, when I was checking out I realized they had salt granules in the bag. I’ve read salt isn’t a necessary additive if they have a proper diet and can be easily overdosed, but when asking the man at the counter he assured me salt is...

Hi guys... so I noticed a few weeks ago that my budgie down part of the beak is growing and I have no idea what is the reason.. Usually if the upper part of the beak grows it maybe means she has mites but her beak grows longer at the lower part of the beak.. I'm scared that if it still grows she...

I’ve had my budgies for about 3 weeks now. They STILL jump and fly away from me every single time i get near or open their cage. My first bird would step up on my finger just fine at first, but ever since getting the second bird she now flys away from me as well. I’ve tried all the tips and...

Hello, my budgie/parakeet Frost needs help. He has blood feathers and this is my first time dealing with this. I’m pretty sure he got attacked by my other budgie/parakeet Kiwi. I gave him a shower and found maybe 2 blood feathers but I got so scared I would hurt him so I left him. He’s trying to...

I love my bird Pluto, and usually he runs up to me but two days ago he bit me for no reason. I don't understand what I did because I just was petting his head in his favorite spot and now he won't let me pet him anymore. He flies over and cuddles up against my shoulder (which he's currently...

This may seem a little silly but I just bought 2 new toys for my 2 budgies. (A natural hammock and a foraging toy) I've only had my budgies for 3 weeks and they are very trusting and can step up and leave the cage. I took them out of the cage so I could put their toys in. They saw me putting in...

Hello all! Haven’t commented on here in a while but I find myself in need of some advice. I already am aware of the trusted sites to buy bird toys from on here and have checked them out, but certain sellers on Etsy have great deals on perch bundles that are a tiny bit cheaper. I was just...

I found and raised a week old starling and I've been raising him since before his eyes opened, and I can't find to much detail about starlings other then they are pests. I've been feeding him primarily worms, but once or twice a day depending on poop colours and stuff there's a mix of egg...

Me and my family were just out in the river swimming and there was a bridge with swallow nesting nearby, we saw a baby one being pushed by the current and it ended up near us by the shore so I wrapped it in a towel and went home. It's currently in a box with said towel and I have no idea what to...

He previously had one on his head. We had taken him to the vet and he recommended us rubbing and taking it off on our own ( he also told us to come back again if we failed to remove it so they could get it off putting him under anesthesia, luckily we were able to remove it) he now has another...

I have such a heartbreak posting this. I have 7 budgies, and one quaker. August 5th 2023, my quaker was able to unlatch her cage and got ahold of a budgie, Kiwi, right foot. I feel horrible for the accident, both cages were locked but that was the day i learned my quaker was able to open cages...

Hey everyone, I recently found a feather on the bottom of Kenny's cage that looked cut. For some reason I didn't make the connection that his wings were clipped, so I did some research, and last night I discovered that his wings are indeed clipped...I called Petco about it and they said they...

Yesterday I was trimming my conures wings which our vet recommended us doing. As I was doing so his foot got in the way and it cut above his nail. I was immediately panicking and called my vet while using some baby powder which was the only thing I had on hand to stop the bleeding. He didn’t...

I recently (about 5 days ago) bought a new tiel, his name is Kenny and he’s about 1 year old. Unfortunately I had to get him from petco (there are no cockatiel breeders near me) so I have a lot of taming to do. I have him in a cage right now that’s kind of too small (don’t worry I have a new...

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here because I need some insight from someone more experienced than me in this "field". I have two button quails (male and female), they are now a little over two years old, but just about 6 days ago the female became broody. She kind of tried in the past...

PLZ HELP!! I have been giving my tiel an oral medication for 1 week because he had blood in his droppings, which is now gone! HOWEVER, a few days ago, my tiel started violently sneezing at night, every hour I'd say and it has been going on since. He seems to be fine during the day, he dances...

Hi. I have a male African ringneck. I have had it for 3 years now. I bought it from a shop. They told me they rescued it from a previous house that used to abuse it. When i bought it had different wounds. I wasn’t planning to buy any birds that day. I just went to buy food for my other 4 birds...
