This is the first time iv rehomed a bird at this age, 28 years is a long time. Iv always had birds from baby, either just weaned or hand reared myself. I just feel so sorry for this bird and wanted to give him a chance. His cage smells of ciggarette smoke, he has pinned feathers on his head and a missing nail/toe. He didnt even have food in his bowl or water, no paper at the base of his cage. U could see his cage had never been cleaned either.

Ammies are different to other birds and they are very different in personalities from each other. Male blue fronts are known as one of the three "hot zones" they can be very hot tempered in other words. Pin feathers are good. A good misting will clean up the feathers. Make an appointment for him to be health checked with full bloods taken as they are prone to liver issues. Youve just got him so he isnt going to trust you. You need to type all the above in the training section to get help and he -

Looking for some advice, I have a female Kakariki who will be 1 year old on 5 th Feb, she was hand reared and used to quite happily sit on my hand. She doesn’t really like being touched now or sitting on my hand. She will sit on my shoulder or leg. Any advice? -

As they grow up children do tend to move away from their parents .... and yes you read that correctly, If your viewed as their parent (main care giver) when young so as not to end up inbreeding they will change their attitude towards you

Greys Mum:
He's perhaps had a mad flyabout has he?

@
Lori Robinson:

Lori Robinson:
How do I clean his nostrils out. He is not handled alot, so I do not want to stress him out anymore that I do. I will put him under the water in the sink, he likes that and maybe will clean out his nostrals
-
@
Greys Mum:
A warm spray would help or a steamy shower
-
@
Greys Mum:
You might need a vet, if his nostrils are runny, he could have an infection
