Thank you Richard..........if anyone else has any comments, please post.

My alexandrine usually makes two sounds, a loud screech, and a little chirp. But occasionally, and rarely, she makes these different almost singing, whining sounds. They sounds very nice actually but do any of you know what these sounds are and why she makes them?? She doesn't say any words or mimic...

I have only had my parrot about a month. But I am finding I cant get rid of the fruit flies. I have taken the cage outside and washed it with a hose a number of times.......I give my parrot fresh fruit and vegtables, so I am not sure what to do. How do the rest of you deal with this? Thanks..........

Thanks Iran, that was helpful.

Wow, almost 40 views and not ONE reply?? Ok, I did some more research, bamboo is fine for parrots........harmless, and they may enjoy chewing and destroying..........I have strarting giving my parrot some, and she enjoys chewing on it, like any wood.

Problems with my new Alexandrine...... Hope some of you can help. I got my new Alexandrine, Mango, a month ago. she came from a pretty hectic but not loving environment.

True about the red on wings. Perhaps the colour mutation has altered that. Because the size of the beak (and even size of the bird) are more like an Alexanderine than a ring neck.

You bird appears to be an Alexanderine.......they are very similar, but not the same. ; )

I am about to get an Alexanderine. I have lots of Bamboo, (golden bamboo) growing around my place. Would that be good to give to the bird, fresh and/or dried??

Thanks....

Hi, of course I realize all birds have unique personalities. But I am thinking of buying a 6 year old blue ringneck. Is this bird still young enough to bond to me and learn new things, or is it too old?? I dont know if I should get it or not. Thank you for your advice.

I only work 15 minutes from home and yes, I would spend a lot of time with the bird when not at work. I was just concerned about the 8 hours alone....but it appears that is not a problem.

Thank you for the advice.

Hello all. I am single and live in an apartment. I work 9-5 hours. How long is it okay to leave a parrot alone, in a cage? I assume most people have to work and cannot spend all day with the bird.

Thanks for your anticipated advice.
