My almost 6 month old male Peach-faced Lovebird Kiwi has been engaging in an odd behavior as of late (3-4 times so far). He has jumped onto my plush, cuddly blanket on my lap, spread his tail feathers, opened his wings slightly, and pivoted back and forth, rubbing his vent on my blanket. I posted […]

Hi there! I’m learning more and more about my lovebird everyday and I’m no where near an expert. I just found out my lovebird is a female and I am in the process of taking her enclosed homes away from her. Should I replace this with an open hammock for her to sleep in? Also, […]

I might be missing something: if a “hormonal” (euphemism!) bird is well behaved, gentle and a delight, why would this be a problem? I wouldn’t like it if someone took away or discouraged my “hormonality” and don’t necessarily agree that “hormonality” is bad in a companion bird. What am I missing? (I don’t understand why […]

I have two Meyer Parrots and they love having their heads petted. Is this OK? I give my parrot wooden blocks that they enjoy chewing. Any concerns with the color dyes? Are they toxic?
are there times when birds are more aggressive? Like during a molt? Can you teach an old bird new tricks?
