newbird

I have had my lovebird for more than 2 weeks now, and he is able to eat millet from my hand a couple inches away. But whenever I try to offer him millet from the palm of my hand he looks interested, but scared to move. I've been trying everyday in and out of his cage but he won't come that...

Whenever I'm not paying attention to my bird while we're in the same room he always starts squeaking and chirping. Same thing goes for when I leave the room and I'm not there. I'm not sure if he's happy or he just wants some attention?

My lovebird has been eating millet from my pinched hand, and everyday I've been slowly shortening the millet so he can come closer. It's only been around 2 days since he started though, and I want to know what the next steps should be so I can be prepared. I'm holding the millet with the tips of...

I got my lovebird from a pet store where they hand-raised him. It's only been 6 days and he's doing good! But, my pet store told me not to let him go on my shoulder because they will think that you're their mate, and to always be higher than the bird. If anyone knows if this is true please let...

I got my lovebird around 5 days ago, and he seems pretty comfortable when I'm around him. I've been trying to feed him apple or millet out of my hand but he just ignores it and tries to sleep/stays still. Whenever I am changing his food bowls or go to sit down next to him he doesn't freak out...

Hey Everyone! I recently made a post looking to rehome my finch, Arlo after her mate passed away. Ive posted on many sites and no one has been interested. Arlo has been getting more and more depressed and confused without a partner. After many discussions, my grandparents have decided to take in...

Everyone… meet my baby girls Will and Arlo! (As in my favorite musical artists, Will Wood and Arlo Parks) Arlo is the fawn one, and Will is the gray.

Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum and this is my first post here! I brought home a four month old male budgie two months ago. I have a 2 year old male lovebird at home and despite the risks of having a lovebird and a budgie together, our birds have gotten along together quite well thankfully...

Hello All, I have a cockatiel that is about a year old (named Mac) who has always been a sweet bird for the most part. Recently he has been more aggressive in certain scenarios but I am sure that is just because of his hormones and what not so I have just been more careful when handling him...

With the new family addition, I've been trying to decide what to do with her. Currently, I take her out with a perch (she doesn't bite my arm/hands but she beaks at them and I rather not stress her out by forcing her). I put her on a playstand and I sit and chat with her. She doesn't talk, just...

Hello! I'm new here, and there are probably so many threads about this already, but I figure to share my exact situation to get more particular advice. I have watched many tutorials on taming and bonding, and the general information has me going in circles with no progress. To begin, I had a...

I’ve had budgies since I was little but never really “hand tamed” them. I’ve deeply missed the little snuggles of a shoulder budgie so I’d decided to commit to hopefully fully tame my new girl (the right way ). She already knows her cages is her safe place and more often than not will step up on...

Hey everyone, So recently I've been thinking of getting a new bird, a cockateil specifically. Thing is, I already have a lovebird (1 yr old), and Icarus can be pretty aggressive. He's super territorial about his cage and that one section of curtain he calls his nest, and refuses to come near...
