parrotlet

Hello all, I’ve had budgies before, but it was 25 years ago and the very height of sophisticated bird care was finding room in the tiny cage for the inevitable mirror, although that might have been because I was a kid with limited access to information and had to depend on the pet store for all...

Hi guys! My cousin got a sweet parrotlet recently (about a month or 2 ago). He offers him treats and he likes to stay on his shoulder, but doesnt step up and retreats in his cage when approached with only a hand without food. Is this normal? Are there any little tricks that could help him be...

I know most of people advice to put a parrot on a pellet and fresh fruits and veggies diet. But the breeder I got my parrotlet from has that to say: "Parrotlets are a naturally seed and fresh food eating bird so a high quality seed mix is VERY important. An all pellet diet is a bad one for a...

i've begun the journey towards getting a blue female p'let. i've done a lot of research, but i feel like i haven't had enough. all of the supplies i need will be around $300, but what about the bird? is there advantages of having a female p'let vs a male? what about advantages of a male? i know...

Hi everyone, everytime I had questions or concerns about my bird, the top results would always take me here...considering Facebook and other social media has pretty much replaced old-school forums, I figured this one was dead...but turns out it's not! So after many months of ending up here, I...

Is it possible to obtain a blue pied parrotlet by coupling a green and an american white or a blue and an american white? Im not very familiar with genetics and stuff, but I'm super interested in learning!!

Hey! I want to adopt a baby parrotlet, but Im in Canada and I didnt find any good breeder around... Could you guys help me find one? Thanks!

Tl;dr version : Name suggestions for either a caique or a parrotlet please <3 Hi guys! I will soon welcome a new member of the family and Im super excited!!! Its gonna be either a caique or a parrotlet. I've read loads about both of them, so Im prepared to welcome them with the best possible...

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 have had a parrotlet for quite a few years now and I got him a new cage recently and he loves it. He loves it so much he doesn't want to come out of it. Sometimes I will take him out and he will fly right back in. He also hates the color red. Is that normal?anyone have the same...

Hello! My name is Dylan and I just joined Avian Avenue because I was thinking about getting a bird! I'm not sure what type i should get, I was thinking either a green-cheeked conure or a parrotlet

Hello, I'm not new to parrots at all (but I am to this forum!) I'm wanting to add a new bird to the household but I'm finding with my situation I'm looking for something incredibly specific that may not even exist. So I'm wondering if others might be able to help me narrow down the list. So...

I have a 3 year old parrotlet and yesterday I noticed his poop was a clear liquid. Today I had him out and he pooped again, and it was pure liquid. Then I put him on me about 2 minutes later and he pooped again. This worries me for a few reasons. One, the consistency of his poop. Also the volume...

Hi everyone, I'm Steph and I'll soon be a bird mom. I get to pick up my parrotlet later this week and I'm so excited! He's a green-pied pacific. I've been preparing for him <3 We're going to be awesome buddies like Jake&Finn of Adventure Time, hence the name Jake/Jakey! I work and am a grad...

i have a male pacific parrotlet a year and a half old. I am a college student and am gone for a 5-6 hours a day. I feel like my parrotlet can be lonely. I have been very interested in finch keeping but can not deal with breeding. Would I be able to keep a single finch to keep my parrotlet...

ive been browsing this page for a while now on my journey to learn as much as possible before getting my next bird. All the information is very useful and I can usually find the answers I'm looking for. So my birds in mind are either a Parrotlet or diamond/ring neck dove. I've read the most...

Hello all:) I have been considering parrotlets as my next fid. I am not sure, though, if it is best to choose a male or female. Talking isn't necessarily important, but it would be very interesting to have a talking bird. I understand males usually have this capability, but do not always end up...

As y'all know I'm going to be getting a bird this weekend and I've been looking into the proper procedure of introducing a new bird to the home. I've read several different websites but they all seem to have different ideas about this, some say you should leave the bird in its new cage for at...

My name is Samantha and I'm going to get a Parrotlet next weekend at a local bird show. I've had birds before but this will be the first one that I'm getting on my own and not a family pet. It's been a long time so I'm kind of nervous, I've been reading all the forums and watching YouTube videos...

I went to a fair yesterday and found the Bourke that I've been seeking for some time, but in addition to him, I fell for a pair of female parrotlets that a woman was almost begging me to take for next to nothing: one is disabled and very tightly bonded to the female she lives with, and people...
