Ok, so I've come to realize that it's not fair to my beautiful Azul for me to keep him. He's not coping well with the baby getting more attention than he gets. While I was pregnant, he decided that my 11 y/o son was "his person" who's only here half of the time, due to the custody situation and less than that when we're on the go. Which, admittedly ( Read more... )

Hey everyone ( Read more... )

My yellow-collared macaw Jennie chews and shreds non-stop during the day. I give her paper and cardboard. I have an empty plastic canister of Folger's coffee, the red one. Would that be safe to give to her? She doesn't seem to eat the stuff she pulverizes ;)

I've officially had my 10 year old senegal, Maeby, for a year now. Well, a year and 4 days, but who's counting? She's come out of her shell a lot in the last year, though she's still pretty shy and timid if I compare her to my cockatiel. New people still terrify her (but if you'd lost 4 families you'd probably be wary of new people too) and ( Read more... )

Hi. I am not trying to be gross or funny here, but I have a yellow collared macaw who just crapped and it smelled like rotten eggs. It looked like normal bird crap. I have 7 birds and have had birds most of my life, and have never noticed an odor in their feces. Has anyone else had this happen ( Read more... )

I am trying to locate sanctuaries for African parrots. Particularly Poicephalus (senegalus, Senegal and rufiventurus, red bellied). Such sanctuary would house birds with a flock of their own kind in flight arrangements. Any information on possible places would be wonderful and most appreciated!!

Hello, Bird People;

This is a sad post to write, but my pet blackhead caique needs a new home. She will come with a macaw-sized powder-coated cage that is 3 feet wide, 2 1/2 feet deep and 5 feet 5 inches tall (cost $450 new), many bird toys, and a separate night cage to sleep in.

I have had her for 7 years since she was a chick. She is extremely ( Read more... )

Hi.. has been a wile since I have posted ( Read more... )

Maeby, my 10 year old adopted senegal, came out of her cage today because the door was open and something startled her and she ended up fluttering out the door. She landed on the floor and I just sat down nearby to see what she'd do. For a minute or so she just stood there and looked around, but then she started exploring the room a little bit. She ( Read more... )

I've had my 9 year old senegal for 4 months now, and I'm her fourth home. She's getting much more comfortable with me in her cage, to the point where she loves it if I put my whole upper body into the cage with her and give her kisses and attention as long as I keep my hands out of the cage. Unfortunately, I can't stand beside her cage all day and ( Read more... )
