new bird

I'm getting a budgie, but a lot sooner than I anticipated. I'm aware a lot of brands of mass produced budgie seed are bad for them, but I'm getting it in the next week and live in a remote area and don't have time to order a organic/healthy seed mix. Does anyone live in the UK and know of a good...

My new 3 month old cockatiel which I got yesterday is puffed up on a perch not doing much of anything. My room is 75F and she seems pretty sleepy. I haven't seen her drink or eat any of the millet or bird seed in her cage. Her droppings seem a little liquidy though otherwise normal. The only...

I got my new budgie two days ago. Yesterday, she was very active and happy and chirpy. Today she hasn't moved at all or made a sound and she keeps closing her eyes when I look at her. This is my Ella

Tango is my first and only bird. I think she's a 7 month old Lutino girl - but I can't be sure! I definitely don't plan to get another bird any time soon - especially since I've only had her for 2 months. Having said that, I absolutely LOVE ornithology and all things birds, and I was wondering...

Hello folks :) I've been puttering around the forum lurking for a couple of years now waiting for the time to be right to adopt a little feathered beastie. Probably time to say hello then. The stars have aligned, we're buying a house next year and in the meantime we've moved our office into a...

Hello my name is Grace, I am a minor and I got my first cockateil on the 26th and his name is Oliver. He is 5 months old with grey, yellow, black and white colors. The breeder i got him...

:greet14:My fiance and I had decided at the beginning of the year that we definitely wanted to get another cockatiel. We decided to adopt an older rescue bird instead of getting a new baby but after months of calling local rescues with no luck we almost opted to head back to our breeder...But...

Okay, so I have a Green Cheek Conure (cinnamon variety) and he's about a year old. We wanted to get him a cage mate, but there are a few problems. We aren't entirely sure about his sex. There's a rumor that females have pink feet and males have black feet. He has pink feet. There's another one...

Hello, Last Sunday we welcomed a baby Green Cheek Conure into our home. The breeder had taken him out of the the nest the same day after approx. 40 days, and we began hand feeding with a syringe. The baby has begun getting accustomed to it, and is now eating 3/day. However, for the past 2 days...

My sister got a budgie earlier this week on Sunday for a while the new budgie just stayed in the same place cause he was scared I guess and then he was getting used to my sister and me but then people kept going in her room and either cornering him and petting him or putting their face up...

Hello everyone - Seeking some general guidance on how to "tame" my new baby. She is a ~4-5month of Solomon Island Eclectus that was hand-fed. She was very cuddly/tame with her owner. However, she's bitey with me. I brought her home Tuesday afternoon and she appears to be settling well in her new...

Hi! My name is Brenifer and I just recently got my first bird, Hane (ha-nae). He is a budgie with recessive pied cobalt feathers and a whole lot of personality. We are both very excited to begin our birding journey in the company of all you other bird lovers and hope to learn as much as we can...

I just got him the other day, and i left him to sit where he could see me and get adjusted. This morning i tried to slowly give him a treat, which he completely ignored and went straight for my hand to bite. I want to give him treats just to make him have a positive view of me, but i dont know...

After a great deal of research and serious soul-searching (and a bit of alliteration), I've decided that I really do want to get a parrot. I've found one in particular whom I'm interested in and am debating whether or not to go ahead and bring her home. Mango is a 2 1/2 year old sun conure who...

Hi everyone, You may have seen my thread about which type of bird I should choose. In the end, I contacted the breeders and they said they had four available options right away. The original bird I was going to choose had a scissor beak and I preferred the look of the one I took home anyway. I...
