pionus

Pionus is such a cool species to me and i feel like they are kind of a lost treasure to the bird world as not many people own them but as with any bird they can have their draw backs. Recently one of these draw backs was drawn to my attention. Pionus parrots tend to bond to one person rather...

I have been given a Persian Violet houseplant, also known as Exacum. I know that African violets are safe for Parrots so I am assuming that a Persian Violet is probably safe also but don't know for sure. Does anyone know? Thanks. I have a Maximillian Pionus who has never shown any interest...

These birds have been my family for 14 and 12 years respectively. Please, do not send me any unkind messages. This is the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I promised them a lifetime and am thoroughly heartsick to break that promise, but I have looked at the situation from every angle...

Hello :) This is my first time posting anything on here but I have been lurking around the forums for a while now. After months and months of research and consideration, it's very possible that I will be bringing home a newly weened baby White Capped Pionus in a few weeks. Just curious if...

I recently adopted a 7 year old blue-headed pionus. It's been a week and he hasn't left his cage once despite the cage door being open all day. I have put his bowls just outside of his cage so he can reach them from within the cage while encouraging him to leave the cage, I try to see if I can...

This went completely under my radar during research but I just heard that some people have dusty pionus parrots? I didn't even realize any South American parrots could be dusty as I was informed dust was only an old world parrot issue. I was wondering how dusty can the blue-headed pionus be? I...

Hello everyone! Two weeks ago I brought home an approx. 12 week old Maximilian pionus, Freddie. Her breeder did a wonderful job at raising her, she was weaned naturally and she settled in remarkably well with both me and my partner since coming home. She's been as sweet as can be with both of...

Hi all, I posted before regarding getting a bird for college; I was given very good advice to rather wait until I was in college or after graduation - so I am currently still bird-free. I know more about my schedule and the college policy on pets, etc. - it's very pet friendly and we may bring...

Hi! I have been researching what would be a good bird for first time owner that lives in apartment. The pionus parrot seems to come up quite often. Then I went on Google and there are so many different Pionuses!!! I wonder which type of pionus would be a great match for a first time owner that...

Hi, I’ve been wanting a bronze winged pionus for a while now, but It’s been very hard for me to find any breeders in the U.S. I was wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to get one? I’ve also contacted this website called Samantha Parrot Store but i’m not sure how trustworthy it is...

Here is my playstand for my conures and pionus! My macaw has flying access to the stand, so I try to make sure there is something on it for her as well. My pionus and conures really enjoy their playstand as they spend the majority of their day time on it or on me. to prevent ‘bubble feet’ I...

I have a Male White Capped Pionus! The only bird I have that I didn’t name. He had 6 homes before he came to me. He is a ball of fire, and only ever is nice to me (if I change my appearance, he is a ball of fire to me until he gets used to it). He had what me and my vet refer to as ‘double...

I posted last week in candlelight lane, but this is where I feel this belongs. A lot has happened since I last visited the forum, I've moved into my own house and Felicia and I have continued to grow our bond. Felicia is a Craigslist bird. I'm reasonably certain everything is documented on...

SUPER NOOB ALERT: I seriously wasn't sure where to post this so if this is the wrong spot please tell me! Background: I live with my family, we have a large house, I share a large room with my sister. We have six cats (indoor only) and eleven australorp chickens (the hens live outside). The...

Hi there, does anyone know if you can get pionus in Australia? I keep seeing on various Aussie parrot sites that bronze wings are available. But yet to find a breeder.

Hello everyone! My name is Kirsty and I am definitely a bird lover. I have had smaller birds all my life, but recently my husband and I have decided to adopt a medium sized bird. We have put a deposit down on an adorable dusky pionus, but I am feeling torn between him and a super sweet Amazon. I...

...so I figured it was high time to bring on the good news! :D The lunacy is nigh unending in this crazy zoo of a household, but as of this very moment, things are looking super high. My bully breed mix, who has been suffering with one illness or another since she was rescued from the streets...

I just made the mistake of going into the New World room with my hair still pinned from doing my makeup, and upon seeing me Aurélie instantly went into BEAST MODE. Beak open, feathers fluffed, tail flared, pionus strut, the whole nine yards. She had NO idea who I was. Poor little girl...

...that my fingers are allowed to scritch! She's been so anti-touch since she was a tiny baby that I wondered whether she'd grow up to be hands-off like her older grey siblings. I didn't really mind, since not everyone likes a scritch, but just now she bent down her head, fluffed up her...
