=) have confidence in what you are doing and your bird will follow the example you make, they know when your scared, or have axiety, go in strong and stay strong even if they are biting at you try feeling through the cage bars before changing food/water, give the bird a treat to distract them from y...

My male also bluffs and runs after toys "he thinks are his " but they are really the kids' he also lunges at parts of his cage, but if hes out hes super sweet for 1-2 hours then starts t get over stimulated and "fussy" If you cant DNA him/her just wait it out:) MY little guy just...

Im glad he enjoyed it! and hes probably just getting used to the sudden change again, he will start taking treat...

beautiful birds! I love the multi color ones!

This is Micah and I He is 10 months old. born Dec 30th 2011 !

Wow! Amazing set up! That was the cage I wanted to get for Micah, But it was a bit out of our price range at the time. Amy didnt expect to have babies until this summer, and she ended up with eggs last fall, and I was first on her wait list, so it was very unexpected and we were unprepared, so, for ...

Shonna

Sounds like you did him a great deed!!! What color is he/she? is it older? does it have the ring already to distinguish boy from girl? You are doing everything right! the first step is to get the bird comfortable with you! and that is getting them to take the treats from you through the bars where y...

Julie, it does take some time:) we worked with flipping over first from standing on my finger id hold him and flip him over so he wasjust hanging, once he got to where he wasnt scared and wouldnt flap when we flipped(i make sure every time i tell him ok flip and count!) then we worked on placing him...

Wow....Just breahtaking! I am not even going to attempt colorations=D I am however absolutly in love with your baby #5's color...Is that color avaiable here in the US? or is it just out of EU and AU? I know sometimes different color mutations are only in certain countrys.is this true for those beaut...

are you feeeding him seed as well? check the seed, blow on it lightly and the empty shells will blow out of the dish . sometimes its hard to tell the difference between empty and full seed, this is one way you can determin. also check the bottom of the pellet dish, are the "crumbs" if he i...

it sounds like they are doing very well:)
how did the bathing situation go? did you find a way they like??

just wait...mines almost 6 months old and wakes up with the sun at 5am.......
he yells until i wake up..whistling the "pretty girl whistle" and the "come over here whistle" until i open his cage and feed him breakfast...
Just wait and you will have a very vocal buddy!

its a bit late, but with time and patience every bird is tameable.. you may get bit a few times, or bluffed at, but they are still very young birds(mine is almost 6 months old now and hes still learning quickly) make sure you know your breeder. feel comfortable choosing them, do they socialize the b...
