Cutest Bird Ever!!!
The popetop brand sells a square cave one that would be a no no. To much like a breeder box, plus has fuzzy lining
Welcome home Milo!!!The “breeder” actually didn’t breed the birds, he bought them, hand raised them, then sold them! A nice bird store in my city does that also. The guy didn’t give the age in weeks but in months (He has a band on his foot saying year of birth). This was my first time buying a bird from an individual, I’ve bought all my previous birds from bird stores.
Anyways my birds name is Milo! And he’s doing great, he is pretty comfortable sitting with me already! He is a bit of a biter but only when he’s on/in his cage, but I was prepared for that. He’s even letting my touch his head! I’ve only ever kept budgies that have never been a fan of being petted lol.
I know he was raised with other birds but I’m not sure if they were from his clutch, I do believe he had siblings being raised near him, but I’m not sure if they were with him!Welcome home Milo!!!
Ok , then that's likely were the stress to baby came from. Being switched to a different hand raiser, plus the move and new surroundings. and may have been kept alone, many do this , but can be more stressful on baby. Or may have been placed with non clutch mate babies, which can be more stressful. Individuals can be more sensitive to things like this. And over preening starts as a self soothing thing.
I'm glad you got a fully weaned baby!
Sounds like wonderful progress with Milo so far!
I love the look of that one!.. and so happy to see someone designed a "fabric-free" hut type thingy!!This is style im going to try next

No its alright I get that, I do tooThat's alright! The information is floating about somewhere then, and so its good to have a discussion anyways! I didn't mean to make it sound like I was calling you out; I truly love learning new things so I was keen to see what I had missed
Agree! Sold out right now thoI love the look of that one!.. and so happy to see someone designed a "fabric-free" hut type thingy!!
So far I have avoided everything with rope, string, or cloth because I worry about my birds eating parts of it (crop impaction) or getting caught in a frayed part and being injured while I'm at work.
I had never seen these.
Thanks!

Thank you! I’ve never experienced stress bars nor bronzing on my birds so this was a bit confusing!Love your baby blue Quaker they are great birds! I have had a couple myself. Here is some information on why parrot feathers change colors. What you see is bronzing, stress bars are lines through the feathers. I can dig up some pics to share if you like. I just read an article the other day on bronzing I will see if I can locate it asap. In the mean time here is a quick google search article that is pretty good.

This is a fair article, some missing, and slightly inaccurate stuff. Kinda reads like someone who read some stuff and copied clicked.
