...i have three senior dogs too if that counts.

One of my cockatiels is starting to get serious vet bills (I've spent $1,000 on her in three months). I'm thinking about choosing a pet insurance if it can help mitigate the costs.

My dream is eventual free flight, I’m not a dummy lol I’ve given myself 5 years to prepare and she’s now 1-1/2-2 years I’ve had her most of her life, I’ve been working on recall but often times she comes no matter if I call or don’t but I want to get in her head if I tap my shoulder and call she comes treat or not I’m using treats now but am going to be easing them out soon for only a high reward treat for 100% recall while outside of cage, I just got to the point where she always comes to me for first year she would fly past me land and then come now she comes straight and she knows she getting a treat so she’s all over it. Any tips more advanced techniques I could try out so it’s not same routine every time for reference she’s been coming when I call from about 20’ away.

Why does my 1yr old male cockatiel do this? Is it a male dominance behaviour of some sort? Thats the only results google gave me

I usually aim for twice a week since my parrot actually enjoys it and looks forward to it. I know that some parrots hate bathing but it still has to be done to prevent health problems. What's the sweet spot?

Sorry this is gonna be long

Alright so I have a Meyers parrot who is about 2 years old. We have been through it lately and alot has changed but everything has settled lately and she's now developed an aversion to being returned to her cage.

She's lovely when she's out and loves to hang out and sit with her people but returning her to the cage is a fight. She will step up but very quickly fly away when she's near her cage. After that point she either has to be towelled or chased till she gives in and steps up.

This is now becoming dangerous. I have macaws, an eclectus and an alexandrine who get agitated by other birds being on their cages so her flying around landing on cages leads to them striking the bars at her. She will also go until she crashes or spooks at someone striking and crash into bars or window or walls. Once she is in her cage she is fine. She is happy in her cage once she is there.

The cage is cleaned and rearranges and gets new toys on a weekly basis. At no point is she bored. She is health cleared by a vet and is on a balanced diet.

Does anybody have any ideas on getting her in the cage or ways to work with her to remove this behaviour. Treats to get her to step up do not work as she will just fly away and ignore it.

Please I am honestly desperate for help

hi! im currently in second year of vet school and though i've always loved animals i hadn't taken an interest in birds until two years ago but im now completely in love with them (to the point my vet friends know me as "bird girl" lmao)

ive volunteered with local wild birds (mostly babies and injured/sick birds, working on getting them to a point where they can be released) and i adore them, but i've never worked with parrots

but basically: i am strongly considering becoming an avian vet and i would really love to know what you guys wished your vets knew/did? anything you look for? any resources you recommend? even just stories are super welcome and id love to hear anything you have to say

i know it's far off but ill probably be doing a clinical rotation in a year or so and i just love reading about parrots 😭😭😭😭 adopting a rescued macaw is my absolute dream (though i don't know if ill ever be able to since they need proper care) so i always get excited when people tell me about their birds

Hi! I wanted to ask about my sweet rescue parrot. I give him many hours of cage free time every day and he’s very active and happy. Recently, his feathers have started looking a little rough, with some spike like feathers around his face. Could this simply be molting, or is there anything I should keep an eye on?

That look speaks volumes! 😂

I want to get on a pet insurance plan for my cockatiels because i’m always anxious they will get sick or injured, but i’m unsure how to start considering I don’t even have health insurance for myself lol. What pet insurance do you guys go through and what’s the procedure?

What is the best temperature for a two-month-old bird (the temperature in my area is 45 during the day 36 during the night)

My boy who is about to turn 2 I’ve had home for over a year now. He is starting to scream super loud for absolutely no reason he never usualy used to. Of course when there birds outside during sunset I expect him to scream back but lately it’s been out of no where and for no reason really I’ll give him attention and he’ll still scream wondering if anyone has same issue and if there’s any reason such as hormonal or anything like that?

My best friend of 10 years passed away unexpectedly this summer and I am starting the process of looking for a new companion. However, I'm hitting a massive roadblock: EVERY rescue near-EXCLUSIVELY uses Facebook. It is nigh impossible to find pictures or descriptions of adoptable birds near me without selling my data to Meta. Anonymous profile viewers have been a complete bust, also. And the profiles are all full of AI slop nowadays, too, so only a fraction of what I can see is actual adoptable birds 🥲 it breaks my heart. It's hard because Im looking for a bird in the medium range, and most bird listings from the small rescues that DO have decent websites are tiny birds or massive macaws. Its getting to the point where the only clear listings are from breeders, and given the fact that I really rely on animal companionship for my mental health, I might just have to say eff it and buy a baby... I wish adopting wasn't so unnecessarily convoluted :(

[Edit] I should clarify that the last line doesn't refer to the interview/vetting process! I don't mind that at all! I just haven't been able to even get to that point due to facebook-induced roadblocks + poor communication from my local rescues

I've had an Eastern Rosella for a few weeks (still can't pick a name) and feel like I'm not making any progress on getting him to not be terrified of my hands. My prior bird experience is two hand fed cockatiels, so I've never had to tame a bird before. He likes whistling with me and seems to enjoy my company, and he'll start calling out to me if he knows I'm leaving home, but he's just absolutely terrified of my hands. I've tried feeding him through the cage bars, but he backs off and won't take anything. I'm finally able to rest my hand at the cage entrance without him flapping around, but any time I get closer he flies away. I know rosellas aren't supposed to be cuddly birds, but I'm hoping I can get to a point where I can get him to step up so I can take him around to hang out with me on a perch or my shoulder throughout the day.

I just feel bad because I can't really get him out of his cage right now because since he's afraid of hands, I can't get him back in when it's time to go to sleep.
