Hi guys, i don't think anyone remembers but i'm the person that sometimes has a bg macaw visit them.

Today he visited me again and aside from the usual stepping up he also let me pet him!! It was the cutest thing ever and he enjoyed it so much, makes me wish i had a macaw 🥹

Translation:

"He's resting his head, cuddling up to you"

"What a sight, he's even closing his eyes"

Me: "aw, i think you're really sweet too Ara! He's cute, isn't he?"

this is my less than year old bourke parakeet ! his name is Gummi ! nice 2 meet you !!

Mochi (blue) and Mimi (green) are our two youngest budgies.

Mimi has this weird habit of sitting in the food bowl. Today Mochi was trying to eat, but Mimi just wouldn't move, even when Mochi tried giving a few little pecks 😂

Ended up having to give Mochi a private dinner service lol.

My Caique has shown she is very smart with picking up short tunes quickly, but she only ever chose to learn 1 phrase 🤣

She says, "Pretty pretty bird"

It's the only human language she chose to learn i think because she knows it gets her cuddles and scritches 🥺

She needs no other words 🤣

He has a type. He doesn’t get nearly as excited for the upright romaines and he had 0 interest in the red bibs.

He is 48 days old.

EDIT- THIS HAS BEEN ANSWERED BY ADMINS AND OTHERS, thank you!
I will repost later with a non-dropship picture or link to ask for the feedback I’m looking for. It’s all good :)

OP -
A few minutes ago I had posted asking feedback on a very specific water fountain for parrots. I guess it was reported as ad spamming, and was removed by Admins

Not arguing, I am a rules follower, AND I don’t know how to ask about this item without triggering this removal again

I currently have three birbs, a Sun Conure, a DYH Amazon, and a ‘brella cockatoo, & am always looking for ways to enhance their lives & wellbeing

So: how do I get real possible user feedback of this or any other branded items without breaking rules and getting posts deleted, please and thank you! :)

My Indian Ringneck (Earl, almost 2 years old) has been starting to do this motion of bouncing up and down. He only does it when he is holding a toy, and usually he does it in front of a reflection of some sort.
Is it a mating dance or something else? Just curious what he is trying to communicate!

Hello everyone. My mom passed away unexpectedly just a couple of weeks ago. About fifteen years ago, she moved a good distance from us when she had an opportunity to get land and focus on rescuing animals. She’s got horses, goats, a pig, dogs, cats, etc that we’re placing with trusted rescues and people. The relevant bit to this community is her Senegal parrot, “Sunshine.”

She has had Sunshine since before her first feathers. The two have been bonded for about 25 years. My mom worked with her all of the time. When she was young, Sunshine was my roommate in high school. I couldn’t handle her the way my mom did, but we were friendly. I couldn’t imagine her going anywhere but with me.

Things are moving fast and my brother is bringing her to my house today. I wanted to post here to see if anyone has advice for caring for a parrot who has lost their bonded person. My mom was her everything for her entire life. I don’t think she will ever take to me in the same way, but I want to do the best I can for her.

Thank you.

I have had parrots for the last 7 years and I'm up to 4, these three in the photo and a BG Macaw. When I started out I immediately followed several parrot people on instagram and basically followed their advice for feeding. Every morning they get fresh chop and Tops or Roudybush Pellets and in the evening they get a mix of seeds, grains, herbs, dried flowers, dried fruits and vegetables.

My question is is it necessary to feed them the evening mix? With the rising cost of life I'm just trying to see where I can cut down on expenses. I know they enjoy foraging through their bowls but a lot of it is wasted because they pick what they like and leave the rest. I have a lot of animals and want to make sure that Im able to meet all of their needs.

That's Harley with his new playground. Lucy dreaming about the Bulldogs win Saturday, and Cheech, my yellow nape and companion for 50 years.

i have a cockatiel

Shes been living in my bedroom with me for three years so I’ve got the basis down, but I don’t have any sort of like bird wall l, peg board or anything. for the most part I just have her flight cage and the top of my dresser is full of different kinds of enrichment and chewing toys and stuff. I don’t have any sort of stand alone perch, only ones that are attached to the outside of her cage, did you like it a lot when you got one? etc

an example I’m thinking of- suction cup window perches, I didn’t find out about those until a couple months ago

Your favorite poop cleaning products/tips for whenever it dries and turns to concrete?
i use “poop off”

I'm looking to take Honey some fun places! My first companion, my parrotlet Baby, loved to go for car rides and go places with me. She enjoyed everything! However, I'm still learning what Honey enjoys. Fortunately, she does love to go out! I have a few places I can take her (including on neighborhood walks!) but could really use some ideas for more fun. We have my chiropractor (the whole office loves her), a kratom bar (she gets water, of course), our neighborhood, and she sometimes shops for groceries if it's a small list. I'm planning to take her to an outdoor market if the weather is nice next time there's one, too!! She definitely knows when she's the center if attention, hahaha 💛💛💛

I got her a little travel dish set, but her water tends to spill if I don't step carefully enough. I wear her backpack on my chest so she can see everything and I can keep people from foolishly sticking their fingers in the large grommets. Since she's only 4 months old and will try to squeak her way out of the backpack if I stop to put water in, I wanted to be able to keep water in there for her. The water bottles for birds just look so unnatural!!

So where do y'all like to take your parrots? And how do you handle when they get excited and start yelling while you're out? Honey's only done it when people get excited and talk loudly so far, and thankfully that was with my friends so we could politely leave quickly, lol! Once she's trained further, we'll be doing some harness walks, too, though I won't be risking it at a store or a market, ahaha.

How do I say no to this gift? I have zero experience with any birds. I hear these kind of a long time and people put them in their wills. How do I redirect the friend to place the bird with a rescue? This came about because I admired his parrot when I was visiting house. Also, the bird can talk. Well, looking at some of the posts maybe this is a Maccaw.

This was taken in May of this year.

Looking happy for saying it was taken at 5:30am

Hi there! Apologies if this isn’t the right way to post… I am still figuring out how this app works. I am having trouble managing my younger cockatiel- she is just under a year old and I’ve noticed what seems to be a hormonal behavior with her. She is not a stranger to hormonal surges, and I am usually quick to correct her. The past few weeks she has been bobbing her head against an object, sometimes her leg, and regurgitating some food. I have decided this is not vomiting- this is voluntary and controlled. What she regurgitates does not smell, she does not fling it, and she is a healthy bird. It is clearly partially digested food she has recently eaten. I am not concerned for her health. She does not do this around me, nor on my desk or in bed. It is a cage occurrence only. I do not hand-feed her and I do not pet her where my fingers do not belong. From what I have seen, she does not view my other female as a mate. The cage has no sort of dark places or nesting materials. They get plenty of sleep. However, she is quite fond of her toys, and talks to them frequently with kisses resembling the way I kiss her on the head. Could that mean something? I am unsure what to do. I am thinking of maybe reordering the inside of their cage, or restricting their food, as they are currently constantly offered pellets and veggies. This is a new problem to me! Maybe someone can help.
I figured it would be best not to plaster a video of regurgitation on here, but I can watch closely and try to get one the next few days I am home if that would help.

Archie, Blue Fronted Amazon 🦜

He was about 33 years old here. My dad got him about 5 years before I was born and we grew up best mates. I moved away for work in my early 20s and he wasn't getting as much attention as deserved, so he's now living out the rest of his days with lots of friends at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park.

Went to see him about 6 months after and none of the birds responded or came up to the side of the aviary, tried for ages! I think I could tell which one he was, sat on a rope staring from the back, but I can't be 100% sure as there were hundreds of birds. The keepers said rehomed parrots often ignore their previous owners so at least its not just me.

Here's a short video of some things he used to do, laughing or dancing usually. Miss him still and no other pet will replace him 💚
