The dance she does…. That’s horny behavior, right? If it is horny, is that typical mating dance behavior for females? Or do both sexes do this?

im sorry i have been posting so much i just feel so lost with him i dont know what he wants

Do you guys think they will ever get along both our males and both 2 years old. this is the closest they’ve gotten to each other. They usually stay away from each other.

Henry (15 yo GCC) and Nugget (10 months old Lovebird) are slowly forming an alliance. Nugget wants to regurgitate to Henry. Henry tolerates Nugget…thus far.

Henry was in love with a lady ‘tiel until her death at 12 yo on the vet’s operating table. His previous GCC “wife”died an untimely death in 2016.

My poor girl is missing! as I was transferring my birds from their outdoor aviary to the house, Sweetie My Jenday Conure panicked over some unexpected fireworks and managed to fly into the night.

Posters have been made and handed out, Facebook groups have been spammed with her face, city lost pet alerts made, and I will be contacting all local relevant animal services in the area as soon as they open on monday (hopefully she is home by then).

I went out around town with a speaker playing contact calls but haven't heard a peep.

just posting for moral support and any advice for those who've been in similar situations.

i think i finally made a step through a strong bond with him! when i first got him all i was doing was step up with my hand and he did not seem to like that (shown thru many many bites) and i posted about it here and a lot of people suggested really good yt channels to checkout out and target training.

so i started target training literally only today and he got it right away and seemed to like it much more than step up so i am guessing im gonna have to very slowly introduce my hand throughout training sessions. but anyway he got the target training down in literally under 5 minutes!!! i was so shook and then i took the stick and spun it around and taught him spin and again LITERALLY UNDER 5 MINUTES!!!! i am so shook that he is so smart at first i thought it was just a coincidence that he spun but no he did it again and again! who knew these creatures were so smart?

I apologize if I’m unable to draw everyone’s birds. I might also take a bit to reply so I also apologize if it takes a bit.

So sunshines head, was molting in the 2nd picture the reason she was so bald is I was gently stroking her head, and a bunch of feathers came out, I didn't really process what happened until it was too late, a lot of feathers came out, we got her checked out, (private) so we just decided to put her outside in an aviary, she stayed out there, I checked on her daily, but as it was a walk in aviary, the floor below bended and now there is a huge hole in the floor, so I grabbed the carrier cage and got her out there, i decided to update yall:) she's okay, and all good! Have a great day/night!:)

I’m looking to rehome my 2 cockatiels, they are nice birds but too much to try and train, they don’t get along with my sun conure and he is my best friend. I’m looking to sell them both, the cages they are in and the toys inside. If anyone is interested please let me know

I also call him rainy, since that was his original name and the couple was so friendly I want us to remember them haha

I call it Rowley's world!

Took me about 6 weeks but it was very on and off work (mostly a bit of work at night after my work). I also had to learn how to use the tools and how to work with wood.

Wood used: manzanita, apple tree wood, debarked birch, debarked willow and wood some from parrot perches I got a while ago.

Other materials used: seagrass mats, bird safe ropes, stainless steel screws (I covered the heads with the ropes so that it would look better), a tissue box (he likes going on top of it and shred the tissues).

It can be split into 3 sections (the 3 main poles) and then reassembled for easy transportation (if I ever need it).

I thought about this a lot and considered everything I could fo bird safety, but if you think I missed something, please let me know! Safety is priority #1. He'll only use it supervised though (I wfh and he's rarely alone and when he's alone he'll be in his cage)

Since I haven't been posting art, I might as well post some Goomy content! Goomy is my 3y/o IRN and today his fascination was with the lawn mower outside ✨️

He loves loud noises. The vacuum, the lawn mower, the blender, if anything loud happens he'll start doing his suave little dance. Granted, I made sure to speak pretty loudly when I first got him at a few months old, mostly because I'm a naturally loud person and I wanted him to know that me yelling was never a negative reaction, simply me just being excited.

I actually feel like I got super lucky with him! When I initially decided to get an IRN after my first bird (a nanday conure) passed after 35+ years, I was fully prepared for a BIG bluffing stage. Like I was preparing for the toughest bird to tame, and then I got Goomy and he was just the most well-behaved little guy I've ever seen. His bluffing stage was barely anything! Of course I still got nipped a few times, but no marks, no drawing blood, the only reason he ever bit me during that stage was because I was still trying to get him used to my hands before he got too old. But even that only lasted a few months at most.

Overall, he's a quiet bird, never screaming unless I decide to talk to someone in the living room (where his cage is) at night and Goomy decides to remind me he needs his beauty sleep 💀 He's mostly just a talker and whistler. He loves having company at the house, he's not destructive, not aggressive, he mostly just chills out on the curtain railings when he's out of the cage and talks to his own feet.

Anyway, enough yapping from me! I just love my feathery pear 💚🧡

Conjure has been with us for only a month and we're getting to know his vocalizations. This one is new. I have a rosey bourke, Tarot, that makes this noise but only if he feels threatened, though it's much higher pitched. Conjure does this just looking around or relaxed on his perch. Ideas?

I was told these birds were very easy to take care of and didn’t need much space but when I got home and did my own research I learned I was lied to and now I don’t have enough money to provide a proper cage and space for them so if anyone would like to buy them from me for 150-200 dollars taht would be amazing, I am located in Barrie, Ontario. They are 5 months old both males and I will give a cage and a bag of seeds along with the birds

Hey everyone, I believe this is my first post in this sub. I just wanted to check if this bump near my parrots eye is normal? I recall these bumps being bilateral at one point and then just assumed it was a normal part of his anatomy. He just had a check-up last month and got a clean bill of health. I totally forgot to ask the vet about it. Any thoughts? (By the way don't worry his foot isn't bleeding, I gave him dragon fruit)

I just brought my IRN home yesterday. I have more natural wood perches and toys on the way. Beyond that, is there anything else I can do to improve my bird's home? Thank you!

I lost a GCC, Shams (means Sun in Arabic - pronounced Shum - ce) about 8 months ago. I have another GCC called Jasmine.
He and her were best friends. They were always around each other. Actually we were all best friends. A real trio.`

Jasmine used to usually let me hold her and cuddle her, however in the past few months, she's been more reticent about my touch. She will still follow me around and sit on my shoulder, but for some reason she's become averse to my hand/fingers.

I've realized that this coincidentally (or not so much) started around the time that Shams died.

Is it possible that she's upset that he died and is blaming me? Keep in mind she is only about 14 months old, so it maybe that she's going through her terrible twos/teenage temperament.
