Hi,

I noticed in one of your posts you suggested a book by/sold by BirdTricks. I was wondering what you thought about their training methods?

 

[macawpower58]

A little background on yourself might help any worries about you having the experience & knowledge to help.
What is your background in birds?
What species do you own, and how long have you had them?
How many have you hand fed from baby to adult?
Some references your clients may have given you.

Not to be discouraging, but a new member that is not known on the board, always raises red flags until vetted.
Especially one offering to help other owners with behavior problems.

Welcome to the forum.

The approach that works best usually goes something like this...

... contribute to posts where your expertise/experience might be relevant and useful,
... read and learn where it's not.

Given your recent sad experience with Pearl you really do still have a lot of learning to do. Do it on these forums.
That's not a dig at you personally. Please don't be upset by this advice, it's in your birds' best interests.

I don´t think so. I think she needed instant medical proceedures to stop the bleed, treat the pain. And even at that, the chance of success would have been slim. There would also be the risk of losing her due to trauma.
I´m not a vet, but personally I don´t think there is anything you could have done to save her so don´t feel bad that you panicked. At least you were there with her and could hold her and tell her you love her. I think that is all you could have done.

Ripshod is refering to not leaving the macaw with a cockatiel unsupervised in the first place.

I’m so sorry to read about the tragic loss of your Pearl!

This. I have budgies and a Cherry-headed Conure. Even with that size difference, I will never let them out of their cages at the same time. My Conure could do severe damage to or kill my budgie boys.

es its my fualt even tho they seemed quite bonded i should never trust my big birds with my smaller one leason learned ig

 

[Ripshod]

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Sometimes we just have to learn by personal experience. But I'm glad you're staying around, this really is your best source of info - so much shared experience.

 

[Zara]

tho they seemed quite bonded

I thought you said this bird was ¨bonded¨ with your black palm ´too?

You have 11 birds including a macaw chick, you just got 2 Pi chicks, you´re planning on getting a budgie chick soon. Willing to throw money at a scam ad, knowing it´s a scam but hoping for a ¨cheap¨ bird. You´ve had 3 bird deaths recently. I´m not sure what to make of it. Why so many chicks all at once?

all my birds are rescues woth major behaviour problems all of them were solved

The blue and gold macaw that isn´t weaned yet? What was their ¨major¨ behaviour problem?

 

[finchly]

Why so many chicks all at once?

And had a tiel plucking, and found a mynah, and offered to draw our birds - all in the span of about 3 hours.
Thanks for picking up on this, @Zara.
