new owner

I have had great progress with Kiwi, she can fly now and she is in the process of learning how to step up. We are training her and making sure she is safe. When we saw her on Sunday, she was flying all around and she seemed to love being in my hair. She kept on flying to the top of my head and...

I went to go see my precious Kiwi on Saturday and she has grown so much. She is learning how to fly and is getting stronger. She is now 5 weeks old and she is learning how to eat hard foods like seeds and whatnot. She enjoys dried fruits and is so precious. Kiwi managed to climb onto my head...

Hi!! I’m a new cockatiel owner and this is my first bird from a store the other bird I had was a rescue rousy bourke and she did not live very long due to bad conditions at her old house. I am now the proud mom of a cockatiel names pebbles and am still young so we are growing up together and I...

I am sure there are questions like this all the time and I searched thru several threads (and lots of google searches) to avoid posting another what kind of bird should I get question but I also realize everyone’s situations are different and thought if I gave more specific information about my...

- They are 20-25 days old - they seem to squeel for food every 2 hours - they squeel for food even after I feed them - I was told to give them 8ml of formula 4 times a day or 15ml 3 times a day by 2 diff vendors. - my questions are: what is the best portion vs meals a day to aim for with them. -...

Just laid the deposit down for this sweet baby! He's 3 months old, I've been researching for weeks but any advice you have would be much appreciated! Super excited for my second bird, trying to think of a name for him too. (:

Wondering how much they eat per day and what a good diet for them would be, what kind of pellets? I know they have a 'special' diet.

Hi all! I'm a long time cat lady but have always wanted a bird, so September 22 I adopted my little Aiofe. She's 5 months old, blue mask lovebird. I was told at the parrot shop that she and her siblings hadn't been socialized enough so I could expect to be patient. And I am patient and she's...

Hiya, I am new to the forum and to bird keeping and I just picked up my baby lovebird yesterday. It's (not sure on gender) doing well eating, drinking and exploring. But today it keeps going between napping and having so much energy he's pacing his cage and flying all over the place. He doesn't...

Ok so my previous post I kind of touched this but I want to clean my room today to make sure it's bird safe. After that I want to one day soon finally let Sol back out but my mom won't let me until I'm certain I have a way to get him back in. I've never had a bird before as you can probably...

hi there! I just recently bought a parrotlet and seem to be having trouble interacting with him. He is still quite new so I have been simply sitting with him and talking to him and instead of trying to grab him in the cage I have been leaving the door open and sitting by while I let him decide...

Hi everyone! I never really thought I would be a bird lover, but I met a super cute black headed caique this past week and I fell in love!!! I'm in the process of doing more research about everything, but I will be a proud birdie momma sometime soon!! Let me know if there's anything in...

...she is the best. I'm so happy I chose her. This is maybe an hour after bringing her home for the first time: I was completely set on a Sun or a Jenday but this little yellow sided green cheek at Petsmart decided she was going home with me, and she was right! I got her cage set up, got a...

These are the 5 things we think is important to consider before bringing a new feathered baby home. I know I've missed a few things, please feel free to comment and add! Definitely need to update the video later, but these are some of the things I felt were important after helping out some of...

Hello =) I hope you're all having a good day so far. Tomorrow I'm picking up the baby cockatiel we reserved at a local breeder's shop. He's presumably male (breeder is almost certain, but not positive) and he's hand-fed-- approx 3 or 4 months old now. We visited him a few times, typically once...

Hi there! I posted in a previous thread but was informed that there was a subforum all for lovies! I recently got a peach face from a local pet shop and I've named him Pico (after Pico de Gallo, because of his beautiful and vibrant greens/red colours!). He's been with me for a few weeks now...

Hello there! My name is Char and I'm the recent owner of a new peach face named Pico! I got him a few weeks ago from a pet store and he's an absolute sweetheart. He doesn't bite (yet at least!), is very active and loves to flutter around to explore. However I have a few concerns. I'd like to...

I just got a cinnamon green cheek conure from a parrot rescue, and one of her toes bends upwards. The rescue got her that way, and it can never be fixed. She gets along fine, but she does have a much weaker grip in that foot, and it makes her very sensitive and nippier when you ask her to step...

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...

I am sorry if this is in an incorrect location or too long :ashamed1: (I am new here), I just want to give enough information for proper advice. I have recently become the proud owner of an 8 month old red chattering Lori, named Trico, she is quite the beautiful girl with a big personality...
