Sapphire is learning so quick

Too much calcium in a birds diet can cause kidney problems. Especially if they are not exposed to enough sunlight. Liquid calcium supplements are no good in my opinion either. Some birds will eat cuttle fish or you can have birds like mine that ignore it. I use finely ground oyster shell added to th...

Hey Peter...sorry I've been absent. Busy time of year. My alexandrine boy has just now started mating behavior. He is only 8 months old so it wasn't expected at all. Thankfully he's taken up with one of his toys to regurgitate on and not me. I've done a bunch of research on foods related to mating b...

Skyes_crew

Thank you Tinus...

AJ...that is a hyacinth Macaw. The largest of all of the macaws...also the most expensive lol.

The little one that was lying down to sleep went to the rainbow bridge last night. I know she had been attempting to eat, she had seed stuck to her beak. The other one has labored breathing now too. No discharge from the nares or beak, and is a bit more active today. We completed the rescue of the o...

OMG!!! stop lol. I'm dying here

A very wise person once told me..."nobody cores the apples for the birds in the wild, so why should I?" No offense, but I'm not sure if I'm buying that. Nobody provides the birds in the wild with guaranteed food and shelter from the extreme cold/heat either, so why should I? Nobody takes ...

Does coucou spend more time than usual preening his tail feathers? Also, does he try to fly and land awkwardly a lot? These could contribute to his tail looking that way. Loss of the central tail feathers is normal during a molt...but loss of all of his tail feathers at one time is not. How much tim...

Skyes_crew

So sorry for the delayed response. It's been a busy day for sure. I put the little budgie that didn't make it in a basket last night. I watched his breathing slow down. I left him there because I couldn't watch him take his last breath. He was laying on his side when I left him. When I got up this m...

Skyes_crew

Sorry if I'm not seeing it, but that baby in the ad looked normal to me...a little young to be sold off, but otherwise healthy looking.

100% natural fruit juices are not bad in small quantities. It's the added sugar you want to avoid and apple cider which is fermented, not cooked, and contains pulp. Apple seeds do contain trace amounts of cyanide. A very very very small amount. While I wouldn't go and feed a handful of seeds to my b...

Skyes_crew

I too am very happy for you taking a stand against that pet shop. It may be that they had no idea. But now they do...and maybe they'll stop getting birds from that particular supplier. It's progress :D As for another bird from them...I would politely decline. The risk as Claire stated, is too great ...

Hey Donovan,

It could be the cage. Or it could be the approaching breeding season. Or hopefully the part missing from the nail clippers wasn't small enough that he swallowed it. It wasn't was it?

Skyes_crew

Sad news...one did not make it :cry: So one lonely little budgie now. He doesn't make a sound. He was locked in a dark room. I don't even know when they had eaten last. This was a very sad rescue from an animal hoarders house. I don't know why I continue to do this when it breaks my heart to see the...

Skyes_crew

OK MissK...I need your help. Went on a rescue today. Pulled some birds out of deplorable conditions. Two of them were, you guessed it, budgies. Ill get a pic up for you later. These two are so sweet. Anyway, what do I need to put in their cage? I put some guava branches, and some palm fronds so far....

Skyes_crew

My birds love these!!! They also make a bigger version in the guinea pig section at petco. Just make sure the ones you get are the plastic bells inside and not the older ball bearing style.

Skyes_crew

Try adding a bit of apple juice to the pellets at first. Then just reduce the amount over time. Grape juice works too

Skyes_crew

Yes...our former club disbanded. It was a messy ordeal. The former board members pushed me and another friend to start a new club. Most of the 140 members of the other club are now in my club. The old president is fuming lol. She was such a witch anyway. And she knows nothing about birds at all. Her...

Skyes_crew

Anyone can "own" a bird. But to truly live with one is an accomplishment. No matter what the age

Skyes_crew

Claire, believe it or not, it's the "older" crowd at the club causing all the drama. It's like they're regressing or something :mrgreen: I think you have proven at this point that your methods of training work. With Nila we all declared that he was a genius. But I think we had it wrong...i...

Skyes_crew

Riccardo, the only way pet shops like that will stop existing, is when they have no suppliers. Unfortunately some breeders will sell their animals to any pet shop just to make money. I'm not sure how you should proceed as I am I the U.S. maybe molossus can give some input here.

Skyes_crew

I wouldn't hesitate to call someone about the pet shop. Think about all of the other birds that may have been exposed.

Skyes_crew

Yeah Claire...you're super tough

Sapphire will learn her lesson...eventually

It's a shame your bird club meetings are so boring Claire. There's so much drama at our former club, it should have been a daytime drama show

Skyes_crew

Claire...I think One of bens birds has that reaction too. My violet turns a deep turquoise color.

Skyes_crew

She's testing the pecking order lol.

Skyes_crew

Awww...it's the ringneck crew

I see Nila is getting his new pretty boy tail feathers

he also looks to be sporting a bit of the white part of his ring...or is it just the angle?

Skyes_crew

::: I am so sorry. You have done a very brave thing by taking him in and making the most of his last days. I did not even believe it was beak and feather. Pet shops make me so angry. Take comfort in the fact that Dante is flying high over the rainbow bridge right now. Poor little one

Skyes_crew

I have no idea. Probably hundreds of times. Most words he says are ones that we use on a daily basis, quite a few not even things we have tried to teach to him. He learns bird sounds really quickly! Interesting...hamlet seems to have decided he's learned enough words lol. No new ones in forever. Bu...

Skyes_crew

Are the eyes dilating yet? If no, then less than 6 months. If they are just starting to lighten around the edges of the iris than maybe 7-8 months. If they can completely dilate, than over 9 months. My male said his first word at around 5 months. If they are talked to a lot it is possible. But count...

Skyes_crew

Speaking of words we don't want our parrots to learn...how often does Nila have to hear a word to repeat it???

Skyes_crew

I don't think anything can top nothing...great job MissK

Skyes_crew

Wow...I would have flipped out. I don't like the points on baby nails either, my hands look like I'm into playing with thorn bushes. But jeez...doesn't anybody listen anymore??? Why don't we take off a couple of the vets toes and see how great he walks....

Skyes_crew

I'm convinced they believe they are a flock. They have the freedom to move around and interact with each other at the hotel...and they do. And at home they are housed either together or nearby each other.

Skyes_crew

Hmmm...well if nothing can turn into something than it must be about anything

Skyes_crew

I'm trying...is there anyway nothing can turn into something???

Skyes_crew

Skyes_crew

I still think you're the bird whisperer

Skyes_crew

And the madness continues

Skyes_crew

Praying for baby Dante!!! Try to stay positive. It doesn't look to be caused by the worst thing out there...PBFD. So that's a positive right there. How do his droppings look? Color, consistency, frequency, broken or solid?? And most importantly, is he losing any feathers?? Like IMRAN said, some pare...

Skyes_crew

Very possible MissK

Skyes_crew

Does Dave know that

Skyes_crew

I rest my case

Skyes_crew

Oh...and I go crazy most days...that's how

Skyes_crew

His life revolves around his birds. He spends half of every day entertaining people with these birds. He was hired on by one of the most beautiful hotels in Waikiki to display his flock and entertain the tourists. The birds are in constant training. The other half of the day you'll find him in the a...

Skyes_crew

Beautiful birds

Skyes_crew

I think I have enough data here to prove that people WILL talk about nothing

Skyes_crew

My entire family hanging out with a friends flock...and this isn't even a third of his birds

Skyes_crew

No worries...I was bored. Now I can poll how many people have been spammed
