Hang in there with Skeet. It may get worse before it gets better, but I'm sure it will get better eventually. Our babies grow up, but then they come back to us...

I know sometimes it seems selfish to "own" birds or any animal. By having them in our homes, do we do them a disservice? Sometimes it feels that way. We are their caretakers, we need to be good stewards of what we have. I never forget that. Birds don't ask to be caged up. I struggle with t...

Yes, that's about it. If I want to keep her in my house, her wings need to be clipped. After she attacked my Mom, I had chosen to give her up instead of getting her wings clipped. But the rescue agency I talked with - who I was going to give her to - asked me to try to keep her since she had bonded ...

I totally agree about them being able to have their freedom. I have never believed in having my birds' wings clipped because I do like them to be able to get around on their own. Flying is one of their natural gifts. But, in certain circumstances and in my case, it's just not feasible. My IRN does h...

Wow! What a flock of birds you have!! My landlady (also my Mom) has limited me to three birds...so I have my ringneck, my cockatiel, and had my parakeet (budgie). I thinking I'll get another budgie, but not for a few months -- when it's summer and I'll be home more. I'm hoping to get a hand-raised b...

She has a cataract on one eye, so she can't see out of her left eye. She is high maintenance and has been for as long as I've had her. She doesn'...

I prefer to have my birds free-flighted, but with my IRN, that simply wasn't possible. She does not like my Mom and she made that very well known when she flew into her face, claws first, and then tried to pierce her lip and face with her beak. I could not take the chance of her trying to hurt anyon...

Hi there. I just wanted to introduce myself. I have a green Indian Ringneck. I've had her about eleven years, but I am her fourth owner. No one else was willing to deal with her until she came to me, and I fell in love with her. Kasper is a beautiful bird who loves to cuddle and is very intuitive. B...
