new addition

Since the last time I was here, we got a new addition to the family! Say hello to Jinx (aka Jim)! She’s an almost five year old Aussie and is super sweet! She’s been with us for a year now, and fits in wonderfully!!

I have a male wbc that is 7 months old. We want to add a second wbc but are unsure if we should add a male or a female. Can anyone give us some proud and cons each way? Thank you.

Unsure what this means? I have had Lolo one week a yellow nape Amazon around 13-20 years. Since monday when I get home or feed her breakfast she will whine like a dog chirp and I think regurgitate her food? What does this mean? She won't always step up while she is going off and I usually let...

A little background... I had budgies when I was younger, my husband had tiels when he was younger, and we have had a tiel for a year. I've always wanted other breeds. About 3 months ago we decieded to add a sun conure to our home, when we went to meet our baby we fell in love with a green...

Hello! So I've been looking around through posts here that are related to this topic, but I would prefer to seek out advice that is specific to my situation. I was recently gifted a male masked lovebird, and I have had him for about four months. I'm not sure exactly how old he is, but I was...

Hey everyone! I joined the forum today to get advice as to which bird will be my next.. I had a cockatiel (Chi) until January 29, 2016 that was truly the love of my life. She was the cuddliest cockatiel I have ever known - we did everything together. It was heartbreaking when she passed away...

My parakeet came up to my hand and perched. I have been reading online that to have a budgie get used to you hand, you start with you hand outside of the cage for a few days, then slowly transfer inside getting slightly closer each time. This is my forth day with her and the first day with the...

Meet pip. She is small and sweet and is starting to come out of her shell. She loves looking at herself in the mirror and is very beautiful. This is my first parakeet and I absolutely love her.

What are some things I should know. I would like to educate myself before I get my pet so I can best take care of it.

Hi, I’m very new to the Avian pet community, my first two being my female budgies named Piper and Bebe, and let’s just say every day is a new learning challenge. Piper and Bebe are not yet tamed, they won’t perch on my finger, and fly away whenever my hand is in the cage. They won’t leave...

(I'm not sure on the gender because of her age and morph, but considering she is only lightly pied, I'll assume she's a girl.) Well, let me be more specific. It goes halfway down when she's eating. She finally came in via United on monday circa 6:20 pm. She's also flighty! I expected that, but...

Hai everyone! A new bird mama here. I'm absolutely loving the challenges that my little ones bring me. I have had a fancy parakeet I got in a pet store for about 4 years now. I decided I wanted to get a bird that would be more interested in me than singing to the birds outside. I still love my...

My name is Trinity, my love for birds began in Hawaii where I grew up, there was a guy who would walk the beach with his exotic birds and take photos of tourists. They were breath taking and so interactive. As I aged and relocated I forgot about the pleasure of being around birds. I ended up at...

I am in a bit of a predicament. I currently have two budgies, Luna (a female) and Indigo (a male). Indigo just went through his first molt and I believe Luna is around six months old. They are very happy, active, noisy and playful. They seem to be very fond of one another, consistently feeding...

Hi all I'm new to the group and very new to being a bird mom. We got our bird on Friday and since then I have lived on Google and in my kitchen. IV cool veg, made apple sauce and spent loads on toys and other treats. Despite all the effort our bird only talks and interacts with my hubby. He is...

Hello! My name isSara but I prefer to go by my username Roemeida (or Mei) online :) I have owned two budgies since 2012 and just this week got a loving silly Green Cheek!! I've been bonding with her in the store and she had taken a liking to me since she's been there (all of the employees felt...

Hiya, I'm Mira and I'm new here! I am a minor and I have 2 male budgies and a female quaker parrot. I got the budgies first, they were my first birds ever and I've had and they've been with me for a few months so I'm very new to birds (though I did do almost year of studying to make sure I was...

Greetings and good morrow folks! So Jaron is now home! In an unexpected twist, his/her momma came home too. I haven't chosen a name for her as yet as this was completely unexpected. Jaron can fly and eats on her/his own, but still harasses momma to feed him a fair bit. And she does a bit...

Hey, my name is Veni, I'm a minor and I am a small bird enthusiast. While I'd love to have a magnificent cockatoo, I feel comfortable with medium or small birds. I have 3 budgies, 2 of which are mine! They are my babies. The Green one is Dorkus, and he is a cautious male. The Blue one is Binx...

I brought my 8 week old baby home yesterday from the breeder. It was super sweet when i saw it and even knew how to step up. Once we got home he was extremely scared and started being aggressive. He has been just sitting at the bottom of his cage for almost 20 hours. I'm really getting worried...
