Hiya! (there is a TLDR) In September 2023 my mum decided to adopt two male cockatiels. They had been with their previous owners for about 7-8 years and are about 8-9 years old. My mum has gotten sick so I’ve been looking after them pretty much since we got them (about 7 months). The area...

My baby ringneck will not eat, I want to clarify that i am fairly expirienced with handfeeding parrots but this is new to me for context So my irns had two babies one had splay legs so i took it for hand feeding about 3 weeks ago. 4 days ago when i was checking the other baby in the nest, the...

Ever since we adopted this parakeet three years ago, my parakeet, Mac, makes this weird noise EVERY time he takes a drink of water. Here is the link to a youtube video of him exhibiting the behavior - Odd parakeet behavior after every drink - I hope you can all see it. A about a month ago, Mac...

I have my fridge in the corner of the living room. The ‘sleep’ cage(aka their normal one) is right across of it about 2m away , slightly to the left. I have measured the noise of the fridge when it does make it with a app once or twice and it was about 30-34db then, but it sounds a lot louder...

My parrot's eyes are half open and the bottom area looks swollen. She also has her mouth open and makes a squeaking noise, kind of like a dog toy ever so often. We have been to the vets (stated it was an avian vet) but I don't think it was. I have an appointment on Thursday to see an avian vet...

So I posted a thread a while back now asking for some moulting advice with my sparrow, and now I keep having this new issue that I'm not sure how to resolve but I'm worried for his safety. So I mentioned in the previous thread that he is very skittish and gets easily frightened. There have been...

Hi everyone, im making this post for advice. I'm was thinking about possibly rehoming my 6 year old female cockatiel :( (which is absolutely devastating for me to even think about). For some context, I got her when I was in high school after my brother got a cockatiel (who unfortunately died)...

I’ve had Blueberry for about a year now I got him when he was 11 months old. He was the bird no one wanted because how aggressive he was, ofc I took him because he deserves love just like anyone else! He’s not aggressive with me what’s so ever but everyone else he will scream at, he will never...

I believe my LoveBird is a Fischer lovebird from what I can tell. I got her in a local pet store. There are no adoption centers near me. I love this bird to death but I am curious if she is a hybrid I have read that hybrids can have health issues and would like some insight.

Hi I’m concerned on whether my green cheek is molting or not. He just turned 1 year old recently and lately I’ve been noticing his chest feathers going away and on the floor. I don’t know the difference between if he’s plucking or if he’s just molting and would like some sort of clarification...

Hi, I got a cockatiel for 4-5 days now, he is not tame really afraid of hands and some other stuff (Millet stick) First two days when I would change/clean his food bowl, he'd get really scared and flop around his cage while I was trying to get his food and water, even though I'd softly talk and...

Hi guys! Could someone who knows help me identify the age and gender of the birb? Thank you in advance!

I don’t know if this is the right place to get advice for a BCC… but I recently adopted “Claira” renamed Bluebelle. My son liked blue, I liked belle… and boom. Anyways… I went into a parrot store for a meet and greet 3 times. Put down a deposit. I could tell she was scared, anxious and unsure...

I have a new rainbow lorikeet that I got from a breeder near me. He’s not afraid of hands, and will step up sometimes, but he immediately wants to be put down once he steps up. He isn’t afraid of my presence, but he won’t play with me at all. He will eat nectar from my finger, as long as he’s on...

I'll try to keep this short and simple yet still as informative as I can, as I honestly have never seen something like this before. I've given up researching and calling the place I got him from (a very good place who loves their birds mind you, they just have no clue) and resorted to making a...

I'm a software engineering student completing a degree. For my dissertation, I'm going to make a mobile app to make parrot ownership easier. Can parrot owners (or people who have previously owned parrots) please fill in this survey to help gather data parrot dissertation mobile app Thank you...

My lovebird Lily hates hands and has since we've had her. I got her in October of 2023 and hands have always been an issue. She will get defensive and even attack hands. Even when I am holding some of her favorite treats.We got her as an older bird and are not sure on her age or a majority of...

Hello, all! I have recently purchased two parrotlets and was wondering if I could gain some outside insight on what their genders are. I have a feeling the store I bought them from told us wrong, and I’ve looked at them so long my eyes have started imagining streaks of blue here and there. Any...

As the title says, the floors in our apartment building are being redone - so all the hallways, entrance, etc. Our unit is being left alone, it would just be the carpets outside in the hallway. To my knowledge, it's being re-carpeted, so no poly or hardwood or anything like that, most likely...
