I have been told a year but i dont know for sure. I have a 6 month and one that is a year old, both males. I realize that you have to help them learn to talk, but just wondered how old they would be when they finally got the point.

Curious if my following observations are more likely age/raising/personality differences rather than gender in my 6 year old male (boo) and 2.5 year old female (Swift) goffins:

1) Boo (the male) collects treats, food, and "stuff" in empty bottles. Swift puts the same types of things in her feathers.
2) Swift (female) reacts to threats by tapping her beak, poofing her feathers, screaming without end, and retreating to a covered cage. With the same stimulus, Boo retreats to the door top (highest place in the room), screams a few times, poofs up for a second, and then observes.
3) Swift, at 2.5 years is already talking more than Boo ever has (he is 6.5 years old). She has a HUGE range of whistles and vocabulary! Boo uses his body language and a smaller vocabulary to communicate the same things (food, cuddle, alarm..).

Both birds are extremely cuddly and friendly with strangers (though Boo is more gentle and I trust him NEVER to bite). I've had Swift for about a year and Boo all his lif

I am in the midwest and the temperature has been in the 40's during the day and 30's at night. I put a feeder out and most birds are sparrows . Am I keeping them here by feeding them or should I stop feeding them until winter. I have great amount that seem to count on the feed I'm putting out. What is your advice and knowledge? Thank You!

I recently accquired two parakeets. Now that I have them I realize I do not know much about taking care of birds. Does anyone know of a good website or books where I can get information to help care for my new pets?

I have been thinking about getting a bird, that I can teach to talk. I've wanted one for a long time but I've never had a bird before. What all is involved? Cost? How much time should you spend with the bird? Any personal experiences are fine. Just need some insight, I know it's not something you just go out and buy.

I live in the high country where it snows occasionally and have to move in January. I've been feeding the local finches and many assorted birds for almost 3 years through every season. I'm worried about how they will do. I know some have come to depend on me. Should I wean them from the seed I offer them....or??? I'm very worried about this.

I am moving across the country and need my bird to fly with me. What affordable pet carrier can I take with me into the cabin of the plane? Are there any made for birds or do I have to get a "small animal" carrier? Where is the best/cheapest place to buy them?

I have 2 Paraketes and they are both kinda skinny. All I feed them is bird seed. Is their anything I can feed them to fatten them up. Or they may have something wrong with them. Can some bird lover help? I don't know much about them.

one day my bird just quit flying and i cant figure out why. i have 3 one is 2 and the other 2 are 10 years old. Snacks can fly but sassy quit. they have their own room and can come out of their cage anytime they want to. every morning they take a few laps around the room and they sing all morning. but for about 3 months now sassy doesnt fly and no the wings arent broken or anything, but she eats and climbs to the top of the cage just fine. can anyone tell me why sassy cant fly?
