Some context: It's a 5.5 year old cockatiel, been with us for the majority of its life. From what I know it only likes to be outside of the cage and prefers eating and drinking if out of the cage. We only use the cage for vet visits. On the 21st (figured I'd look for answers in advance), we will...

Hello! Firstly, I’m not quite sure if I am posting this in the right place so sorry in advance lol. But, I have a vacation coming up in 2months and the family member who usually watches the birds flaked out for no reason lol :( So I have no other choice but to take my birds with me, at least I...

Hello everyone! It seems I'm moving from Florida to Washington a lot sooner! So I am flying by plane with my Green Cheek Conure in the cabin with me. However, I need a certificate of health. Specifically, Certificate of Vetrinary Inspection. I already have an appointment set up with the Vet as...

Hi all! I am currently residing in Japan with my cockatiel, Popcorn, but due to some unfortunate life circumstances I must move to the Philippines in January. Of course, I'd love to bring him along with me, but the thing is that I'm extremely nervous about transporting him. I've checked every...

At first I was allowed to have a conure, but then my parents said no because of traveling. We have two dogs and a pair of budgies. My dad said we won't be able to travel with another bird. How do you travel with many pets?? Please help, I'm very far from where I can get a conure and we are going...

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...

Hey everyone! I am traveling with my green cheek this weekend. This will be her fifth time on a plane so she is very used to the whole routine and is a very good bird while traveling. my concern this time is COVID. I want to wipe down/disinfect my seat and especially my tray table at the...

Hey! So I just got this male cockatiel yesterday. He is about 4-5 years old. I was curious, just to get some other people's opinions, do his droppings look normal to everyone? He did just come from a 2 and a half hour drive yesterday. Thanks!

Right now I'm in a position where I will be moving to another state. I'm deciding whether it will be less stressful for a 40+ hour drive to my new location that would take maybe 5 days or a 7-8 hour flight. I have seen pros and cons to this in a lot of areas but main cons I have seen to flying...

Hello fellow bird lovers, My conure is very attached to me, and loves my husband (about half as much ). She has a giant cage and loves being in there, but we have plans to go out of town from the 24th through to the evening of the 26th. Should we leave her at home in her cage? Or should we...

So I’ll be traveling for the next three weeks and so I need to decide on the best place for Yuki since I won’t be able to bring her along. She could either stay at my apartment with my sister to watch her or she could go to my parents . My sister would also be working during the day so...

I know it happens since, people have lives, but this is the first time we've left for longer than just errands since getting any of my guys. My husband keeps saying they'll be fine but I'm really anxious about the idea of leaving them. My Mom is going to care for them, but I know Slade isn't...

I need some advice on traveling with a budgie, we have already purchased a bird carrier and I made sure that budgies were allowed in South Carolina. Do I need to talk to an avian vet before I leave? The ride is ussually between 15 and 13 hours long by car. We're not sure when we're leaving yet...

Hello parronts! I currently have an extremely spacious cage for my GCC. Pic attached. He's fine being in it while I'm within view but the moment I step into another room he starts whining. He's my alarm clock which I really dont mind... loud screeches in the morning are very welcome in my...

I found an African Grey parrot outside in some trees in Shenzhen, China almost a year ago. It has a closed leg band with letters and numbers, which apparently they do not do in China. And she (I think it's a she) said "hello" in English. I assume she was brought in by a foreign family and either...

Hello! My name is Olivia and I've been excited to get a bird for as long as I can remember. My father and grandfather were both bird-loving veterinarians so I have a cage at my disposal for no cost, and I've done my hours and hours of research on care and diet and all. Decided I'm looking for...

Has anyone ever brought their fid(s) to work with them? What are the things to consider? I had the idea to dress as a pirate this hallowe'en and bring Taco along as me first mate (to the surprise of no one, lol) but I don't want to do anything that could cause him undue stress. I work in...

Hi everyone, I have a 3 y/o green-cheek and I was wondering if you guys had any advice on what to do about travelling. I have no one to look after him, and am extremely paranoid about leaving him with a boarding place. He his perfectly healthy and never interacted with other birds, so I don't...
