I've heard that they scream when they are unhappy about something but this is different. He is holding one of his wings while screaming. Is this a normal attitude or can there be a physical injury?

I took her to a boarder with other birds and she came home with a shriek that drives me crazy. I try to ignore it but she feels that I dont like it, and she knows I am paying attention so she keeps doing it. I have tried ignoring it and I have tried to tell her no when she does it. Neither seems to work

2nd Q:
what is a good way to get him to trust me? i know i just got him, but i cant wait until he can get on my hand. he wont take treats yet, so what are some other good ways to get him to trust me??

I just wanted to thank ya'll who helped me in deciding what bird to get, i know i asked a TON of questions, so thanks again

I'm going to get an ring necked indian parakeet

Since they are small, smart, and pretty to look at


If anybody owns one of these birds and would like to give me a few pointers about owning them, and your personal experiences with them that would be great (don't worry, i am still doing tons of research on them also)

I live in Adelaide, South Australia. There are big trees in the block over my back fence, and the magpies start singing at about 2am. Why is that? They're not squawking as though they're frightened of something. They warble like they do at dawn. Any bird lovers know?

Also,has a pet store person ever been wrong about the gender of YOUR bird?is it likely that they would be wrong most of the time?also what age are most budgies when their gender shows? and do pet store people look at anything else BESIDES THE CERE to find out the the birds gender?

My cockatiel that I have only had for two months just lost a blood feather. I panicked and took him in and they said he would be fine. Now, twenty minutes later he is still bleeding and it looks like he had a gash under his wing. What should I do? He is not bleeding prefusely, but it does look like it is still bleeding. Help!!

ok i have a almost 3 month old yellow sided conure. she asks very babyish and cuddles with me. this is my first conure, but not my first bird. sometimes her poop is redish brown and somtimes it is green? is that ok? my mom says it is natural because of the color of her food.(which is a mix of colored pellets, sunflower seed, and millet...also my mom doesn't know much about animals I research them non- stop though.) she also has fruit and yogurt. I read that if she has red or brown poop she may have poisoning or liver diesease.(sorry for the spelling) Can you tell me if this is really natural? I have had her for only 3 weeks and have bonded with her so of course i don't want her to die (plus she was 400 dollars so a waste of money for a dead bird that would be.)

I just recently moved and I feel happy but I feel sad. I was living with my parents and I couldnt take it anymore. I am about 5 months pregnant and I have birds( parakeets) and I feel so sad that I cant take them with me. My bf keep telling me that you cant have a newborn with pets. And it really hurt me because I had one of my birds for over 10 years and the other for about 7/8 years- its hard to part with them. I just wonder if it is true that I cant have my birds there with me. I love them to death. And this move is such bitter sweet

In my gutter, at the very end, birds keep nesting in the same exact spot. After all the eggs hatch, my dad takes it out. But they keep re-nesting!!~ And, when it rains, they block it, so it keeps the gutter blocked! What do I do?

Tell me some unusual things your bird enjoys and what type you have, also.

Someone I know has a rainbow lorikeet.

She plays a game with it where she holds its beak, it yanks its head down playfully and she says, "Got your beak!" The lorikeet says it too.

My friend claims that a few times recently, just from watching her do what I wrote above, the lorikeet has run up to her mouth, gently bit her lips then yanks his head down and says, "Got your beak!"

Is that even possible? Do parrots mimic in that way? How does he associate a human mouth as being the 'beak'?

I live in an apartment, and have a cockatiel who get extremely loud when she wants my attention. I don't have problems with her being loud in the morning, its throughout the day. Covering her cage doesn't work, it just frustrates her and makes her scream louder. I know she is screaming for my attention, but my roommate says she does it all day while I'm at work, help?

i just got a cockatiel today. i love him to pieces. i have noticed that he stays in the same spot the whole time hes been in his cage. he jumped down once to get a drink but thats it. is this normal? i used to have 2 parakeets before but it doesnt seem like they would stay in the same spot. his cage is really big. is it just because he isnt used to a new house?
