Hello, I bought a couple of budgies from my nearest pet shop. It was about 3 months ago. Recently they mated and we got a small baby budgie. The pet shop owner said us not to tame the first 2 batches of the budiges. But my mom didn't listen to them. She started to try feeding the bird and now...

Hi, I have mated pair of budgies (first time parents) who so far have 4 healthy newborn babies. But just recently the male has almost completely stopped eating and seems to be looking for something, although I'm utterly baffled to what it is. Since the male is not eating, he won't feed the...

Hi everyone! My dad found a Rose-faced lovebird yesterday and long story short we're keeping it. (It was definitely a pet that escaped, we asked around but no one had any clue so we brought it home). Took it to the Vet for a general check-up and they found nothing wrong with it. I told them...

My cockatiel has taken to shrill screaming all day long, regardless of if I am near her or away. She has toys of every kind and a large cage and is free to leave and enter her cage as she pleases all day long (cage door is always open). I assume that her screaming is related to her being hungry...

Hi again! I've had my little guy for a week now. He's been super perky, happy and very social. I've been target training him along with teaching him to wave and spin on cue, he is very smart and I'm quite happy with our progress considering he was quite aggressive towards me when we first got...

Hi all! I got 2 sun conures a few weeks ago. The guy told me they were around 3 weeks and they've been doing fine ever since. Lately I've noticed a few things about them, they aren't wanting as much of the baby formula which is heated to about 105-110° and i do make sure the crop is empty before...

A couple of days ago I took my Senegal Sammy to a vet to get checked up, see if his beak and nails needed trimmed. They said his nails were fine but the beak was a little on the long side. Since then Sammy has been acting pouty in his cage and not eating his seed and pellet mix. He even won't...
