So I have had my male lovebird Chester for about 6 months and recently I got a female lovebird mar. But mar and Chester share this big African grey cage, but mar chirps and talks all day long and Chester seems very scared. He won’t go near her and Chester is not hand tamed but […]
I’ve had my cockatiel pippen for almost a year, I got him from a rescue , his previous owners didn’t hurt him or anything but they would leave him in his cage all day so he didn’t get a lot of attention, he is an older bird I’m not sure how old exactly,but he is […]

I have 4 Zebra Finches, happy, in good health, and very well hand tamed. I love these babies very much, but sadly I am moving. I am moving from Germany to the USA, and would like to take them with me. I found many pet transport companys that will be able to ship the birds […]

Hi, I recently received a “proven mated pair” of cockatiels. It’s only been about 10 days but they seem happy and healthy and VERY loving toward each other. The problem is is that I’ve noticed them preening each other and making low cooing sounds and munching their cuttlebone a lot lately, and my son found […]
I’ve had my male parakeet (Pico) for 9 months. He keeps biting me, nearly breaking the skin. He’s aggressive with his toys as well. If I feed him a treat, he takes a bite and then bites me hard. He likes to sit on my shoulder, but then bites my jaw. Does he think he’s […]
Hi there, Last night I was giving my untamed Parrotlet, Rango, some millet through the bars. I do this each day (only for a few weeks since he’s a new bird) and he’s usually fine but this time while he was eating it he paused and had a very weird expression on his face, he […]
The last of four eggs (Society Finch) was laid on 1/21. None have hatched yet. How long do I wait to consider them infertile? Both parents are still sitting on them. This is my first time being a “Finch MaMa” and I keep researching, but I’m still unclear! Thank you for any advice! Love your […]

I had my canary since 6 months and I always try to interact with him…one day I was trying to approach him with some food he likes, he opened his wings, beak and started acting defensive. It’s the first time he does this. Usually he fly away once I put hand inside the cage.
My pineapple Conure laid an egg that was darker than the others (greyish) , she has moved it out of the clutch and this evening I was checking on my babies while sleeping and I noticed that there is now a decent size hole in it. Why would they do this?
We bought a pair that had 1 clutch and was watched carefully til the babies were weaned. But after a few weeks before the 1st clutch was weaned we noticed another clutch. Parents have done well in feeding them and the baby from the first clutch started flying a little a few days ago. But, […]

My budgie had been sitting on eggs for last two weeks. But it is not sitting anymore from yesterday. What should I do now?
Thank you for your response that was super helpful! I didn’t really mean I wanted one just to carry around on my shoulder, just because I thought it was a convenient way for me to carry them around at times when moving locations. I want to make sure I give the bird the best life. […]
I’m absolutely comforted with your answer to my question today “Zebra Finches’ behavior” (re: Leo and the boys). I will follow your guidelines, even though it breaks my heart to part with any of this adorable family. The babies have had a great beginning. I won’t let it happen again. The nests will be taken […]

My 5 1/2 month old male Peach-faced Lovebird weighs 47 grams. Is this weight within the normal range for his age?
Hi We are wondering about annual vet checkups? Having kept titles for 40 plus years this is something we haven’t done before although are thinking about this, what would you envisage should or would be checked at these visits?
Hello, A surprising event was when my pair of Zebra Finches hatched eggs producing 3-healthy baby boys. At 6-wks (ungrateful) a baby male (2) chased, squawking after their dad, at dusk. Odd. I am aware: remove nests, etc. so I did and it made no difference – 2-nests in/out/back in. They really like sleeping in […]
I have quite a few questions. I’m planning on having my bird on my shoulder/with me most of the time. But that would mean me being downstairs where cleaning supplies are being used, and teflon pans are being used. Is there any possible way for that to work? Because I also heard that birds cages […]
I have a 4-5mth old green cheek conure that’s recently weaned. He’s eating all kinds of cooked soft food (veggies, grains etc.) but seems to only be drinking the liquid and not swallowing the contents. He’s underweight to begin with as he’s been treated for infection for 2months, and now with his “selective liquid diet” […]
