pionus

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...

...Aurélie!! :wewin: Poor little Réy. This one was completely my fault, not just accident-prone weirdos getting into trouble again *coughTACOcough*. I went out for a few hours today running errands, and apparently when I shut the trouble-making fids away before I left, I didn't latch Aurélie's...

Taco, Kamara and Aurélie got some new foraging boxes today! :D So far we've got lots of paper and cardboard to shred, wooden foot toys, coin sorters with nutriberries stuffed inside, and some paper cups with their favourite treats. They all seem a little bamboozled but intrigued. Taco's eyeing...

It's always hard to catch Réy in the act because she hates cameras, but I just managed to catch a snippet of her usual silliness. :D (Ft. Taco)

Hi guys! Me & my partner just adopted an 8 year old blue-headed Pionus female :) she is beautiful, tame and very sweet! We'll be bringing her home in a few days. For now just getting excited and trying to do as much research as possible, including reading through so much here at this amazing...

Hi all, I'm interested in getting a Parrot soon and I'd like all your suggestions! :) I have owned Parrots before, but unfortunately had to give them up when I moved here (to Ireland) from South Africa. I had a Congo African Grey (female) and Sun Conure (male). I lived in a freestanding...

We drove from Maryland down to Hickory NC for the bird show with no luck in finding a Pionus or Too. Anyone looking for a forever home for either? Preferably Bare eye or Umbrella and or Maximilian or Bronze wing. We currently have an African Grey I rescued in 1996 she is now 25yo.

Here's Charlie - we adopted him in 2016 so he's been with us almost 2 years now! He's 16 this year, and always been neurotic. He chews off all his wing feathers and all but one tail feather. Since last year - we noticed some of his feathers have black edges, and none of our foster birds have...

Hi, I have a baby male pionus who is 6 months old and he just started throwing up today. he threw up 3 times. I feed him zupreem fruit blend and his throw up looks like chipotle sauce. what should I do until I get him to the vet? lol I can't fix the title happened because of auto correct sorry...

Hello! I’m kind of new to this forum, so I’ll introduce myself quickly. My name is Louise, and I’m hoping to get a bird soon. The thing is, I still don’t know which breed to choose! I’m still hesitating between a Pionus, a ringneck, and cockatiel. Of these three, I’ve fallen in love with the...

Hi i just got a white capped pionus baby male who is around 10 weeks old. He is being handfed by me twice a day and he also eats small baby pellets. I noticed that when he is in his cage he's quiet but when i hold him he keeps making a repetitive crying noise and moving his head up and down. he...

First of, I'm TOTALLY new here, so bear with me. I'm just beginning my research (again) into a little feathered friend. I say again because we just recently lost our little Green Cheek Conure, Bazil. He was my five year old daughter's very best friend and she's just devastated over it. As we all...

I don't think I've really shared photos of Leia before, but I'm transferring photos from my phone to my computer and thought I'd share a few photos here! One of them is of her shredding a wooden coffee stirrer - turns out those are fun to turn into tiny splinters. You also get one of my...

hey guys!! so i just picked up my 5 month old blue headed pionus baby from the airport a couple of nights ago. so far hes been eating, drinking water and seems to not be scared of us but the problem is he wont let us anywhere near him! every time i approach, for whatever reason, he just starts...

Hey there parrot lovers! I'm located in San Diego, CA and was wondering if anyone knew of a breeder/rescue close by where I could find a Maxi Pionus. I've done tons of research on the breed and have decided that this would be the perfect parrot for me! Only problem is I'm having trouble finding...

I'm on the hunt for a larger cage for my beautiful new baby WCP, and found this one on Kijiji. It's 32Wx24D with what looks like 1" bar spacing. Would that be too wide for a white capped? Most of the threads I found regarding bar spacing for pionus were for the larger species like maxis, so I'm...

I have 2 parakeets currently (well actually my girlfriends), but they are bonded and dont really want anything to do with me. I was looking to get a bigger bird maybe small to medium sized within the next year and looking for help deciding. Right now I'm thinking something like a green cheek...

I saw this girl on Craigslist, anyone able to give her a home? She seems like a sweet girl, and I hope she finds a nice home. Link: Tame Female 7yo Dusky Pionus $700

I'm currently in contact with a parrot rescue and I am going there to see the place and talk to one of the people that is involved to be interviewed and talk about the choices I have for an adoption tomorrow. I'm look to adopt either a pionus or a small cockatoo ( goffins, bare eyed, galah) ...
