parrot

I have a Jenday conure called Amber and a crimson bellied conure called poppy and I'm looking into getting a sun conure. Is there any big difference between a sun and a jenday despite colour? Is a sun conure any louder? Any advice or experience with Sun conures and Jendays will be very helpful...

so i just found out that my parrot has tumor and there is not any avian vets in my country for some reason.i took her to zoo and they told me that she had tumor or inflamation. they told me to get some pill for her which im getting this afternoon. also she is eating and drinking but she sleeps...

Ok so my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to hack together a pair of parrot goggles haha. This came out of the following discussion last week: Pictures - Anatomy... Yeah this post grew to more than that... | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum So this is clearly not a real life representation...

hey so I recently took my sun conure to the bet bcs she’s been sneezing a lot and they gave me medication to give her and said it’s prob a upper respitory infection. Anyways she’s already off her medication and is supposed to be healed by now. I’m worried bcs she’s still sneezing lots but she’s...

Ok, hopefully a simple question on anatomy. I have been debating internally now for awhile as to whether Lada is looking at me or something else when we hang out. Allow me to expand. I am referring to her use of peripheral vision and both eyes to look forward vs the turning of the head. I have...

Hi I have been in the market for an eclectus chick for a while now and I have recently been offered a 6 week old chick that is currently being raised by its parents. Is it too old to successfully start handrearing it now? Thank you for the help

So it has been several months now. I have had a little bit of experience now with both my new Finches and also Lada the visiting Eckie, and so I thought I should do an update on the eventual Caique journey... I have had many of my old questions answered through hands on experience and now have...

Hello, I am new to bird handling and I am very interested in getting an African Grey after spending a bit of time with one and bonding with him. I have experience with Conures and Cockateils though I have never actually owned one I was employed at a pet store for a while before deciding it...

Ok, I am about to ask a very dumb question so prepare yourselves... I assume most if not ALL parrots get very grumpy late at night and potentially aggressive (well, lets just continue to call it grumpy) as a result. I'm probably going to get a lot of negative comments for this, but it was...

Alright so this has been bugging me since day one... I have been living with my finches for a few months now and Lada has been with me for a week or two now and I still have trouble understanding the magic of "YouTube poop". Allow me to explain as I know you are probably pretty confused. I...

The second I put Eddie in his cage for betime, he goes crazy. He starts climbing up and down the sides of the cage and squawking. Then, he jumps on top of his favorite wooden dinosaur and starts swinging it around. Ever since I've had him, I noticed he seems tired during the day and energetic at...

So, I've only had my Quaker for about 2 weeks now and I've spent pretty much all my time with him since. Recently, whenever I leave him in his cage and leave, he starts freaking out and making a ton of noise until I come back. When I try to go to bed and leave him in the cage, he crawls off his...

I've only had my quaker for about 2 weeks now and I'm worrying about everything. I just wanted to know other parrot owners experiences on things that are and aren't normal for Quakers. I guess it would just be nice to have some concerning behaviors/signs that I should look out for. Any advice on...

Earlier today, when my quaker Eddie and I were taking a car ride as we usually do when I get home, he began to bob his head up and down with his mouth open. It looked to me like he was trying to regurgitate something. I did some research and I decided that was it, since he quit doing it after a...

I just recently got a Quaker Parrot and he LOVES chewing on my face. He likes to preen my hair/face but he especially likes chewing on my lips. I try to discourage that because I don't want him ingesting any harmful bacteria I might have in my mouth, but any time I get him close to my face, he...

After having this bird for only a little over a week, I've realized how much of a paranoid bird-mom I'm being. I'm throwing out Teflon pans, checking every product in my house to make sure its safe and just being super paranoid in general. Am I being too paranoid here or not? Everyone I talk to...

So, I'm Tia, I'm a minor and I live in Australia. These past few months, I've been researching and planning (and convincing the parents) to have a companion bird. Just recently I came across two Kakarikis which were accidentally bred by a breeder who lives just a minute away from my place. After...

Hi everyone, we are totally new to this blog and to parrot parenting... So we adopted a 3 months old GCC and we been having a blast, she is a loving girl that we named Kaya. I changed her diet and not sure what to think of her tiny poops... can someone tell me please if that little poo on the...

So as most of you can guess, I have been doing more and more research as I have been "waiting" (More on that soon). A few days ago, I was basically at the point where I felt I had done all the research I could possibly do and my only next step was to foster (sorry, but still not going to just...
