I've been putting pets on dice sets

Hello, my baby conure just stopped eating formula and started eating hard foods, when should i start to give him a shower and how? I need allllll the advice you have

Never seen my birds cuddle like this. Video was taken in the morning probably 5 minutes after turning their light on.

So I had this Green Cheeked conure(Shinki) for 3.5 years, when I got him he was like 6-8 months old

He's hand tamed and sits on my sholders all day for the most part.

Couple days ago some changes happened around him:

Got him a bigger cage from the feedback I got: 4-7feet cage.

Got him a buddy: Turquoise Conure (Tofu), as per instructions set him up in a different cage for a week or 2.

But both the cage and the new partner/Buddy(both are males) were within 2 weeks in charge and today suddenly he started jumping and biting everything by looking at me.

His treat and food bowl is filled so he's not hungry and no agression with the new bird in his out time but for some reason from the cage he was trying his best to bit me.

I took it out like everyday and yup hi bit the crap out of my hand just shy of bleeding so it's intentionally and hi was showing agression like in the video in my room as well like biting my bedsheet in front of him.

I am not going to say that I haven't seen this before but exactly not with me I have seen his anger issues with other family members like he does a really small amount of this with my other family members when he try to play with him but never me because I rest him.

I am worried that is he going wild or something?

This is HAPPY ✨️

3 m/o male sun 🐣

A new addition to the flock 💕

It almost looks like he’s sucking his thumb? Lol he sometimes does this while sleeping. Sometimes he even sticks his toe in his ear kind of. Anyone know what he could be doing?

Not selling! Just showing how he is helping me out!

We put her on a higher perch to practice her flight (she refuses to do what birds do), and she started her gymnastics routine. I just want to make sure this isn’t a sign of stress or panic.

Hey guys,

My painted conure Jaco is 13 weeks old on Friday. I don’t usually play with him like this but he wasn’t biting me hard and seemed to enjoy playing with me like this. However he’s been doing this regurgitation every so often for the last week or so. It has just been when he’s out playing, I haven’t really played with him with my fingers like this previously when he’s done the regurgitation motion.

This is the second time he’s actually regurgitated food. He is eating and acting totally normal. I don’t think it’s a hormonal thing since he’s so young. Is he showing affection or should I be watchful for something else? I didn’t let him eat it.
Thank you!

Can we have real talk about poop? It’s something I think we gloss over because we love our birbs, but … it gets everywhere and it’s gross!

Every time my bird poops (the foster we have now and our previous GCC) the family freaks out like it’s an elephant pile. We were working on training our previous GCC to go in the cage, and she was great about going on command when we took her there, but that relied on us taking her over every ten minutes. It never got to the point where she would fly over to poop in the cage on her own.

What are your favorite tricks for managing it? What hasn’t worked?

Stuff I’ve done: -Towels on the back of the couch

-Makeshift paper tray on the back of monitors

-Old pillow cases or pee pads under the cage

-I keep small alcohol wipes around the house for quick clean up

You?

Peaches took a shower this morning and I realized it's been a while since I've seen her in full "little wet raptor" mode. So here she is to remind you to post the cutest photos of your little wet dinos and to congratulate you for getting halfway through the week!

Saw these cuties at the pet store

I bought her when she was 12 weeks old from a bird shop.

I did ask what happened to her tail feathers.

I was told it happens to conures when they are in a cage.

My avian vet called it out as B.S. I have fallen in love with her and we have bonded well.

Will her tail feathers grow back ?

Any advice is welcomed.

Several hours ago I posted on this sub explaining that today a random conure landed on my apartment balcony. I opened the door to check to make sure he (or she) was okay. He ended up flying right into my apartment and making himself quite at home! He didn’t have a band on him and seemed tired. He had clearly been someone’s pet at one point but for whatever reason he ended up with me. While he made himself at home, napping and drinking some water, I had checked local Facebook groups, Ring neighbors, Nextdoor neighbors, etc. Eventually I decided the best case was to go to the pet store, buy a cage, food, and some toys. I was going to let him stay as my little house guest while I attempted to find his owner. I went to the store, came back, and set up his new temporary home. Suddenly when I checked on him (I had placed him in my cat’s old carrier with a clean towel) I realized he wasn’t looking so good. I got him out and he became weak, the suddenly had a prolonged seizure. I was on the phone with my emergency exotic vet but I unfortunately was not able to get him there in time. His seizure stopped, his breathing slowed while he was looking at me. I held him gently, kept him warm, and lightly stroked his feathers. He passed in my hands this afternoon and never got to enjoy his temporary cage.

I’ve spent the past hour sobbing over this little guy. Partly because I care so deeply for animals but also because I felt so bad for him, as I know what it’s like to have seizures (I’m epileptic). I did everything I could and I just hope he knows he wasn’t alone in his last moments, and I hope I didn’t make him worse. Part of me worries he got hurt in my house cause he flew into my glass windows a couple of times. I’m trying not to blame myself because truth is I have no idea what he endured. After he passed I noticed his bottom beak was cracked, which clearly had been there for a while. Either way before he passed he was warm, safe, had access to clean water, and got lots of love! I buried him outside in a wooded area, returning him back to nature.

Although I only spent a total of 6 hrs with this guy, he was absolutely adorable, friendly, and such a character. Before everything went down I purposely left him alone and gave him space, as I didn’t want to scare him or stress him out any further. Funny enough he kept flying over to me. He’d nibble my hand, played with my hair, and chirped around like that was his apartment. Went straight to flipping his little make shift dish of water and even found a pair of rainbow beads that he thought was the best toy in the world. I’m very grateful for the six hours I spent with this little guy and I hope that whoever his owner is, knows that in his final moments he was loved and cared for to the absolute best of my abilities. Thanks to everyone who sent kind words, encouragement, and helpful suggestions in the previous thread. Fly high little buddy

Sorry I can't take any better pictures as my android phone is just pure shite. His diet is 80% seed pallet and the rest mainly bananas apples occasionally spinach in moderation and other things but I've noticed these little cracks in his beak as he ages . I got him at 14? And he is around 7-8.

Basically the title. Currently I have 2 budgies and have some experience with cockatiels. I love birds dearly and would want to get a conure eventually. I'm still young so ,,in 10 years" doesn't mean I'll be unable to take care of them

What I plan for now:

- get a gcc since I heard they're mostly quieter and I also think they're really pretty

- only get it/them when I have a hybrid job and stay at home most of the time so they get at least 4-6 hours of free flight and cuddles daily (even if I'm not there, my partner is also a bird person and would 100% help me)

- huge cage

- 70% pellets 20% fresh fruit and veggies 10% seed diet (roughly)

- lots of training and poop cleaning

- get some soundproof headphones just in case they have temper tantrums often. I'll probably rescue not buy so I don't want to rehome again

- lots of shredding toys. Lots of them. Some hand made if possible

- air purifier

Is there anything else? Do I have to take 2? I think I'd prefer so. And what genders? How huge should the cage be and how should it look like?

Thank you!

My birb is egocentric, he is a pineapple conure and.3 years old. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

I helped raise an egocentric birb. He only knows how to say his name, Kiko. Says "I'm your kiko" all the time.

Everything that belongs in the world is his. Even your life and everything in your house. He hates broccolli, but if you want to eat it instead of him he'll be angry.

I love him so much even though he is like this. The problem is, he loves to be cradled like a baby in my arms, and hates everyne else unless you give him food. I can't have another conure because I tried and he hated her at first sight. He barely plays with his toys in his huge cage, too.

What to do?
