He is fully weaned. He is a piglet.

nichole123

Nope, they did not have any perches . It was him, another quaker and 4 tiels all sitting on walnut bedding alone! Anyways, I have no idea how old he is because he is not banded . I am just going by what the guy at the pet store told me and the fact that he has a new looking stubby tail. But for all ...

nichole123

Took my new baby quaker to the vet yesterday. All is well! Only thing is, since the pet store didn't have him on any perches, he is a very clumsy little thing and stepping up frustrates him (it doesn't help that they cut too many of his feathers and cut them too short)! I've put the perches low in h...

I just do not understand how someone can kill ANYTHING and think "well it's just a such and such". Is that not some kind of psychological problem? How can you kill a living thing and have no remorse ? I saw a person SPEED UP and run over a cat on our old street... how sick is that ? What k...

New Orleans, LA!

nichole123

Thank you ALL for your opinions! I have reported the pet store to the LA-SPCA and for the following reasons in my report they will be talking to the store owner Section 18-2. Cruelty to animals. It is unlawful for any person keeping an animal or fowl to fail to provide for that animal or fowl: (a) C...

nichole123

Here is my main concern. This bird does not have enough room to TURN AROUND in his cage. I brought the conditions to the attention of the store owner about a week ago hoping maybe he would get on some employee to at least change the s*** ENCRUSTED food! Also, you can no longer tell that there is any...

HaHaHa how funny!

What a cute name!

nichole123

That is a sad video

nichole123

aww how cute!

nichole123

Cut the nail last night... I felt horrible... it took about a minute for the bleeding to stop... I got evil eyes for about an hour but he forgave me... today it's like it never happend except I have to keep telling him to stop picking at it.

nichole123

NOT SURE IF THIS IS IN THE RIGHT AREA... I bought a baby quaker today. I will have to wait 3 weeks to see if Master Chief likes him/her because I'm quarantining... the pet store I bought him/her from was not my first choice. We will be going to the vet tomorrow. I just wanted to know if anyone could...

Big ole' head

! Master Chief looked like that when he was a baby... so did his brothers/sisters.

nichole123

I was wondering about DNA sexing. Most sites I have seen want you to clip the birds toenail until it bleeds. Does this hurt? Will it be uncomfortable for the next few weeks? Will I make my baby afraid of a nail trim? I can't do blood feathers because we don't have any... might have some soon though ...

I'm trying to find a vet that will microchip my bird but I have only hit dead ends.

nichole123

He is holding a shelled sunflower seed by the way!

nichole123

Did I do this right?

nichole123

Always to me is that he does it every day. It's not constant but it's everyday. I took Donna's advice and checked out his feet even though I don't use cement or sand perches and I took him to the vet at my work for her to check for mites (we were due for a checkup anyways). He is all clear... I gues...

nichole123

Master Chief always chews on his toe nails. I cut them as often as they need to be cut and I cut them as short as I can without clipping the quick or taking away his ability to hang on to suff. Is this just a bad habit or is there a reason? Do any of your birds do this?

nichole123

Do they ever give you the guilt trip eye?Mine paces back and forth on his playgym and looks at me like "poor little ole me is soooo hungry.. can I have a little bite please?

" then he snatches it out of my fingers when I give it to him.

So rude!

My birds were never friendly towards eachother (IRN and tiel) and they never will be. Every they were out together it was always a race to see who could run and attack the other one first... my IRN doesn't even like his sister... he doesn't like any other birds actually, I let him choose his own fri...

nichole123

I always clip my birds wings and nails myself but for work I had to be "certified" to do it on the store birds so that's where I learned it. To many times I see NEW and OLD bird owners try to do it themselves when it only costs about $5 around here and they end up either killing or serious...

nichole123

OMG reading that makes them sound like plates or some other useless junk, which they are not! Disgusting!

nichole123

Fortunately I work at a pet store and take my little guy with me on occasion. I am careful to stay away from the other animals when he is with me and I wash my hands sore, but it's worth the time! I also live close enough to my work to come home for my lunch. I've tried to spend time with him when I...

nichole123

My little chief likes to mess with me when I am sleeping on the sofa in the front room. He screams out a death call and then turns his back to me and acts like it wasn't him. He only ever screams like that when I sleep!

nichole123

I constantly change perches and toys but I always leave the favorite perch and toy right where they are (and repurchase as needed) that way he has new things and also something that's familiar to him.

nichole123

I don't think there is such a thing as too big a cage, unless the bars are far enough apart for a head to slip through.

nichole123

I bought a kabob for the fruits and veggies for my bird and I come home on my lunch break to take the fresh stuff out. I admit to leaving pellets in the cage all day but I leave not even enough to cover the bottom of the bowl.

nichole123

I keep mine in the living room as well, but he gets excited over alot of things, especially the new baby nephew. But I don't know how I would feel closing just him off from the rest of the house. If you have a buddy for him it might be a good idea to let them have their own space and then have a pla...

nichole123

I don't have a cuttlebone but I do have a Katee tropical mineral block. He loves that thing (I think it smells great too!).

nichole123

Right now I am holding him and calming him and he is shrieking and whining and fluffing up.... arg!

nichole123

My little man "Master Chief" as he is known to the family is TERRIFIED of storms. He runs around in his cage and cries (just like he did when he was a baby and wanted me to feed him) and screams and throws food all over the place. I calm him as best as I can during the day but sometimes in...

nichole123

My little guy gets fruits and veggies every day but I am wondering if I should portion it better for him? He gets apple, orange, broccoli, and carrots every morning and sometimes I sneak in a strawberry or something special but is this too much? Should I just give him one different thing every day o...

Usually males have brighter cheeks and the underside of their tail feathers is clean, females have bars on the underside of their tail.

nichole123

Thank you so much for the advice!

nichole123

Have you tried eating fruits in front of him and then offering him some? Or even have a bowl of fruit while sitting with him, and maybe he will come exploring.

nichole123

Mine refuses to get along with ANY other bird, even his own sister!

nichole123

I'm trying to make mine learn easy words to associate with his treats like yum for his favorite, a slice of nectarine.

nichole123

Mine likes to take a bath EVERY TIME I change his water (which is TWICE A DAY!!! ) He walks through it, throws it all over the room and then waits for me to change it again! He doesn't like the shower or the spray bottle and next I am going to try giving him a deep bowl with little water in it to re...

nichole123

Here is the problem. He knows "step up" and he knows it well. He knows I lead to treats and a good head rub. He is all for me when he is on the playgym on top of his cage and when he is sitting on the door of his cage, but when he is IN the cage the true monster in him comes out. I can hol...

nichole123

I would guess that it's normal considering when I brought home my 2 the refused to do anything but hang in the corner of the cage! I would put them on the perch and they were not having any of it!

nichole123

He tells me "no" right back... then does what he wants

nichole123

My little guy is 6 months old. I bought him from a breeder at 6 weeks and handfed him for the next three. During that time he was the sweetest little thing. Now however is a different story. I don't think it's bluffing, he's just really territorial about his cage. He is fine when he is on his playgy...
