Re: Hello
Welcome to the family. Congratulations on your new baby. Nipping should be ignored, push past the nip or simply leave the bird for a short time and try again a few minutes later. Most of the time you can move past the nip to step them up or roll out of the nip if you understand what I am trying to s...

Hi and welcome Jack, The best thing I can say to you is, give your new fids time, don't expect too much too soon, they will need time to get use to their new surroundings and you. Use good training techniques, be verbal when training and always treat them for good behaviour. Plenty of fresh fruit an...

You must distract the bird, it sounds like you leave before your husband, or someone is there after you leave, so I suggest you get them to take the bird for a walk to another room in the house while you slip out.

Hello, 7 weeks old would mean that your baby is not fully weaned as yet and maybe the behaviour is his wanting to be fed. The other issue may be that your baby (if fledged (flying)) already is infact 10 weeks or more old and therefore weaned and is scared of you. Was the bird hand raised ? or from t...

Welcome Faheem, :-) Its not really possible to tell the age of a bird by sight, the only thing you can be sure of is if a ring starts coming in the bird is approx 12 - 36 months old (more likely 24 months on average). Or if the bird is very young around 10 weeks just fledged or younger, other than t...

Hard to say, they may never pair. It all depends on them, give them time and wait until it is breeding season there, they will probably change their behaviour at that time. If it is already breeding season you may need to wait until the next. Its all a matter of time, but sorry, how much is totally ...
