Bella loves to ride shotgun (sit on shoulder) while I potter around the house. Rarely goes for the face but every now and again grabs the skin on my neck and chomps down. Oowwweeee does that hurt!

Bella can be so funny some times. In my attempts to encourage him to climb up a knotted rope I have attatched a 1.5 meter rope to the ceiling with a swing and his fav toy up the top. He discovered that instead of climbing up the rope, if he hags upside down from the bottom knot and flaps his wings h...

Yeah they are clipped. My only real fear is of other birds when they are out there. I just keep an eye to the sky.

I haven't had any photos of both the birds together so I took some pics while there were having a climb in their favorite bush. They are both so adorable together its a pity they dont play nice more often. Bella is the green and Beacon is the white. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q293/alang80/DS...

Will the base of the feather grow out, or will i have to take her to get it removed?

My little Beacon took a jump last night and when she landed one of her flight feathers that were growing back (she's clipped) snapped. It broke quite high and there was a fair bit of blood for a feather. She doesnt seem to be bleeding anymore. Will she be ok? Is there anything I need to check?

There is a lot of man bashing going on here. I am the man of the house (just don't let Mia know that I think that) lol We are getting there slowly. We have figgured out when its attention seeking and when its just talking. Attention seeking is a couple of skwalks followed by running up and down the ...

Its been near 2 months since I put the first post up about Beacons noise. For the past month we have been ignoring her skwalking. But it seems to have made the problem worse. Its no longer a case of her having small noise sessions. They last from wakeup to bedtime. We cant watch TV cant even think i...

Are there any tricks when you are trying to tame/train a parrot when you own more than one? Do you work with each bird separately or do you work with them together?

Our noisy parrot is hand raised and only went into and aviary 6 months before we got her. She is 2yo now. She has settled down a bit since the first post. The birds now have their own room and are behaving them selves at bedtime and in the morning. So any response is a good response in the birds eye...

We are at the end of out tether with our new gal Beacon. She constantly skwalks at the top of her voice. She is relentless with it. We have been using the NO tactic. Ill ingore most of her noise most of the time but when she starts doing the full volume skwalks Ill go up to her and give her a firm &...

I really like the albino ones too. They are so versatile, you can dye them any color you like She is settling in well, very noisy but so was Bella at the start. Still no name, personally I'm liking Beacon (because of the noise)

So Al and myself went to the pet shop today, just to buy the essential birdy things eg seed and a new toy for our little girl. When we came across a cage holding a pleasant, quiet and as we quickly found out party hand tamed fid. As i put my hand in the cage to find out it temperament, it understood...

We are having a small problem with our alarm clock and I'm not to sure of how to go about fixing it. We cover Bella's cage at night, so that she doesnt get up with the morning light. But as soon as she hears a the toilet flush in the morning she will start squalking and wont stop. Even while she is ...

No we havent had her DNA sexed yet, we just think she is a little girl. I guess we will find out in time not that it really matters to us.

Hi I'm Al and I'd like you all to meet Mia and our girl, Bella. She is about 8 months old now. We got her when she was 4 months and she was a right terror. Always running away or biting. Using the advice we have managed to train her to step up and down and kiss. She still bites but she is getting be...
