Blue Barry has learned his first human words, Peek A Boo! His favorite game, he sticks his neck up and says Peek then puts his head down and says A Boo! So cute.

I make loads of home made toys, hobby lobby is great! You can find the little cardboard boxes with removable kids for a dollar. Drill a hole for your hemp twine, stuff the box with shredables and a treat, he loves it. I found wire tying a basket to the inside of the cage with door toys attached to t...

Very pretty family!

Hi! Sorry to hear you are going through the same a's me. I too feel like a bad parent who selfishly made a purchase knowing that I do work a lot of hours and have a busy life. I've had mine for 5 months and he still bites and won't let me handle him. I've found no answers. I'm just keeping the thoug...

Blueberrybird

Good for you! That's what this forum is for right? I'm so happy that your birdie is doing well. I kinda wished I had bought mine a little younger, but the breeder wouldn't let me take him till he was fully weaned. Lucky for you you had the time to hand feed your baby. Please keep us updated. I got m...

Blueberrybird

I say CLIP those wings!!

Blueberrybird

That is a really cool play gym! Did you make it?

Blueberrybird

That's a good question. I'd like to know this too.

Blueberrybird

Me too! I didn't know either. I'm sorry. :/

Blueberrybird

Wow! Don't know how fid typed out as gods. That was weird. Stupid auto correct. Foraging has improved my fids behavior!

Blueberrybird

Yea, that's annoying! How did they sneak in here?

Blueberrybird

Foraging toys have made a huge improvement in my gods behavior! Still cage aggressive though

Blueberrybird

It sounds stupid, but I HATE seeing birds in petshops. I go home and worry about the birds. I will return to the shop several times to see if they have been bought, if they have toys, etc. It's kind of silly.

Blueberrybird

Lol!! We have plenty of escaped rednecks where I live hehe! Anyway, try putting a yummy treat in his cage. Food always attracts rednecks!

Blueberrybird

I don't think it's creepy, I think it's beautiful! And natural. You have berry pretty birds, and I love your playstand.

Blueberrybird

These are all wonderful ideas! Thanks! I too have been creating my own foraging toys. The whiffle balls are always great! I save any small boxi find that I can stuff and hang, they are cheap and keep him busy and happy. I found some reloadable stainless Steele skewers in the guinea pig section of pe...

Blueberrybird

Very very pretty!

Blueberrybird

Well, it's been 2 months since I've brought Barry home, and it is still a learning experience for both of us. He is no longer dropping feathers, he still bites if I put my hand in the cage, but he has learned that the only way for him to get from the top of the cage to the family room for his daily ...

Blueberrybird

They sure are cute!

Blueberrybird

Clear tailed males are beautiful!! My favorite to look at.

Blueberrybird

WOW!! These violets are SOO Beautiful!!

Blueberrybird

Where did you get the playstand? It is extremely cool.

Blueberrybird

Thank you. He will take food from my hands, he snatches it if he's in the cage. If he's on top of the cage I can hold a price of fruit and he will sit there and nibble it. He does target training to a point, but won't follow target to my hand. When I move him from the top of the cage to another room...

Blueberrybird

I have read many posts on here that say it is best if your bird comes in & out of cage only when owner takes it out. Please give me some insight on how to do this when you have a bird that is very cage aggressive. I would love for mine to step up inside the cage, but when I put my hands in his c...

Blueberrybird

I am very new to this too, but because of the helpful people on this sight, I have learned to get him away from, and out of sight of his cage when I want to handle him. I used gloves at first. But once you get him away from his cage he may act scared at first but he will eventually settle down. Now ...

Blueberrybird

Thank you Julie, I've kinda been beating myself up already, I will hopefully keep that in mind when we get a big one.

Blueberrybird

Reply, anyone? Please?

Blueberrybird

Barry is my first bird, got him in July, he was hatched in march. He is losing a lot of little downy feathers, no big ones. His feathers on his head look really rough and he looks like he is blue and white patchy. I know the pics aren't that great, he won't stay still! But could someone tell me if t...

Blueberrybird

Thanks Imran, I needed to hear that too.

Blueberrybird

Wow. I'm pretty sure mine has started the bluffing :( either that or he just hates me!! He is also still losing a lot of downy feathers, and the feathers on his head look rangy and rough, I haven't noticed any long or big feathers, just a lot of little ones. Is that what a normal molt looks like? I'...

Blueberrybird

Codys mom, please let me know the brand u find with no sunflower seeds. D u live in the u.s? I tried alternating pellets, and he just won't eat!! Most seeds I've found have too many sunflower seeds

Blueberrybird

I have noticed that my bird is very aggressive if he can see his cage, or if he can see a mirror.

Blueberrybird

Wow. Sounds great! If I laid my hand inside my birds cage, I would be bloody. I have to let mine come put of the cage to handle him, but I work full time, and more so my time with him is limited to 1-2 hours a day if I'm lucky, then Saturday's are "our day" together. We both love Saturday'...

I found a site. Parrotenrichment. Com shows how to make some great and cheap toys, I make food toys with hemp rope to hang with things like carrots, Melba toast, dried peppers and whole grain noodles, keeps him busy and he loves em. I too try to make homemade toys since they get destroyed so quickly.

Blueberrybird

Aww! That's great news

Blueberrybird

I agree I love the blue one on the head.

Blueberrybird

Adorable pic!!

Blueberrybird

Pretty! I like your playstand too!

Blueberrybird

Maybe we moult along with our birds lol. Seriously though your passion for the best outcome for the birds is honorable.

I need a better camera!! http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z41 ... 77a925.jpg

Blueberrybird

Thank you Julie!

Blueberrybird

Thank you, but I do need someone to respond to it

Blueberrybird

Yes, I'm just too afraid to take any chances, the dog sleeps with me and will be fine in another room while Barry has his daily time with us. He is ready to return to his cage promptly at 7 pm. And he will let you know it.

Blueberrybird

I posted a question in introduce yourself, r/t lowered appetite, still trying to maneuver through this most awesome site. Please respond, I figured out just now how to post in the correct section. Sorry
