My dear young man, Justin (at least that's what your picture indicates) """""I want a bird that loves me and is my friend. Not one I have to teach that""""""" Has anyone ever told you that a parrot will instantly fall in love with a person ...

Fiona I can only say that I wish more people such as yourself examined the in depth meaning of my post and that woman Donna's post before quickly responding.. What you just said couldn't have been more well phrased. You're showing complete understanding of particular situations concerning the in dep...

Julie Sadly, it's a number of different threads here in the Behavior/Training section. All are basically new posts. If you look hard enough you'll see them and i don't wanna mention names but there seems to be a person who puts clicker training on a very high platform which caused me to post because...

It seems that clicker training is being recommended here for a multitude of problems some of which I can guarantee won't work . When a person takes in an adult bird which has either come from a bad situation or was a breeder in the past, NO MATTER WHICH SPECIES, the first thing that should be told t...

""""""""Don't be swayed away or dissuaded by other people's opinions""""" Listen buddy, for your information that's what people come to boards for... OPINIONS .What they don't need is a person who decides to tell them that they should...

WELL, I THOUGHT ABOUT IT!! I swear that I did!! Cross my heart and hope to die. So there!!!!!!!

In pet shops, birds of all sizes are kept in many different sized cages. Some are smaller than the bird should be in but that's not a violation nor is it against the law.. Birds crap all over the place no matter what sized cage it's in. Animal Control nor the Aspca or any other animal org can tell a...

Kyria At least there's another member here that has seen the evil ways of NY Manhattan Bird Club. What happened to that member here(Mattis) has happened to countless people. I lived in NY all my life, even before that Assc was in existance. PET SHOPS---they don't believe that ANY pet shops should be...

The next time you trim his nails, just take a small perch 1/2 inch thick --4 inchslong and let him grab that. That way he can't close his claws all the way andit'll be easier to get to each nail.

What's Vet tape? Maybe here in the US, we know it by another name.

I've made both . Parrots will take to either one. It doesn't have to be pretty. My preference has been wood. Any wooden stand I've made doesn't have any smooth wood. All of mine are irregular branches that are nailed or screwed together in odd shapes. The branches are knotted and knarled and crooked...

I go thru the same thing where I live although it's not birds. It's young deers, older deers, rabbits, squirrels, hedgehogs, woodchucks and sometimes even baby bear cubs who have wondered away from the mother.---Dave

Basic personality of parrots..... A person might be the caretaker of a bird and because of that, the person feels that the parrot should recognise that the person doing all the workis the one to be given special treatment from the bird. Yes, that's true for us in the human world but look at it from ...

You and hubby are home all day """"""""""I'm the one that feeds him, bathes him, changes the water and the paper, but he seems to like the big lug more.""""""""""""" So, reverse the rol...

Oh boy, all this talk about *bluffing* *clipping*. Who invented the word *bluffing* in conjunction with birds? Why is it only used with ringnecks? Do they do something so special and so different than other species of parrots?? I don't think so. Baby birds are just that..baby birds. They need lots o...

And To add to what Kyria says... another thing about Birdtalk... I'm not a big fan of Birdtalk. I never have been but my reasons have to do the very small amount of informative articles concerning birds and the huge amount of general advertising in the magazine every month. Basically, I think it's a...

It seems like a certain word in this thread has been made less important---BREEDERS......Most of those breeder pairs aren't very good as pets anymore. Some have never been pets. There's many *auctions* that go on that have to do with selling breeders. Those auctions are open to the general public bu...

Hey Donna I agree with that . I saw that same problem happen to a friend of mine that had a conure. He ate some pieces of metal and some plastic on the twist ties and his sweet birdy died within 3 hrs. He had a necropsy doneon the bird $300 and that's what the vet spotted. Parts of the thin metal pu...

The great majority of parrots ( all species) are attracted to jewelry and other metal objects located on the body. It's one of the reasons that a great many people are told to not get into the habit of letting their birds get used to staying on shoulders. Many will go pick at earrings, necklaces, sk...
