Hi there, I have one budgie named Florian that I am trying to care for as best as I can. He had a boyfriend, Sprout, who was a special needs budgie we got in 2020. Unfortunately Sprout passed away in 2022, so Florian has been a widow since. He has always had a rather nervous disposition. We...

Hi everyone! I rearranged my apartment so that my two lovely budgies get more sunlight and more calm during the night. It is also the room that is the farthest from the kitchen which I feel so much more comfortable with. However, the room that suits their needs the best is a double room, so...

Hello, I am new here and signed up to try resolve this issue and learn avian behavior. For some background info I own a Kakariki called Rico that is around 2 years old now. I am not sure if it's a male or female yet, but the beak is pink so I assume female. Rico free flies around my room for...

When my female cockatiel died, my 10 year old male cockatiel got obssessed with the mirror in my room. After a month, we got him a new cockatiel buddy, but he still likes to spend his time in front of the mirror, singing to himself and showing off his feathers. He often ignores me and the other...

My male cockatiel is usually pretty comfortable and loving around me if not somewhat indifferent, but I’ve noticed something weird lately. I know not to give my cockatiel mirrors as they tend to get obsessive over them, but sometimes my cockatiel finds a way to talk to his own shadow/reflection...

I am running out of toy ideas for my Conure, Rio. HELP! He does not like paper no matter the type - bags, boxes, cardboard, toilet paper - even if it has a treat in it. He isn't much on plastic parts either. He likes things made of metal he can open or take apart. - metal rings, etc. He...
