I have an African Grey and a Macaw that have no feathers on their chests due to plucking. Leroy the Grey gets over excited and pulls at her feathers to relieve the feeling hence now no chest feathers. Our hybrid Macaw Chaz was quite poorly with an infection and after being treated with two...
Different parrots have different times for playing the hormonal card thank goodness. If our five did it all the same time I would shoot myself! Our blue front Jay in his thirtees starts to lose it around end of November and by January has had to spend a number of weeks caged because of his...
plenty of patience, love and a regular routine works wonders with my five. I find changing the toys and things to do at regular intervals keeps their interest going. Rome was not built in a day they say and it all takes time. When you look back on the time spent together you will see a vast...
So sorry to read your postings on poor Roxxie, do so hope she is getting over the ripping of her feathers out by now. I had lots of help from the lady in Grey in America her name is Bonny. She knows so much about greys and never ever gives up on any problem until she has got to the bottom of it...
Talking to Di on the phone this morning and she told me about dear Fester and his stroke. Do hope he is a lot better by now and that you are not still living in a nightmare over it all. Thinking of you and know this must be a very hard time for you all.xxx
will he climb onto a wooden perch if you put it close to his feet? One of our Greys will only step onto one from the back of her legs, but they all enjoy the help from time to time. Hope you are going to be having a easier time with him soon.
When we travelled all day to collect and bring home our Tag Rambo it was a rough ride for us all.
His first family had split up and he had been left with the wife and teenage daughter who were not interested in him or had no clue to what his needs were. He was so poorly and days away from...
I have found even with our five they all have their favourite foods and differ so much from one another. One of our Greys simply refuses to eat a finger of toast with their palm oil on and has never had any to my knowledge. As for the rest they eat most of theirs daily but dunk what is left in...
So happy to read the outcome was good. Dear Milo he is like a cat with nine lives! What a beautiful looking bird he is though and I am sure he will have a long eventful life with you all!
We let our hair go grey and white with worrying over them but the love and happiness they bring into our...
Mark you have every right to feel so upset and down about your dear darling bird, but think of the positive side and know all is being done that can be for your little friend. He is so lucky to have you to worry over him and love him to bitsl like you obviously do. Look on this time as a...
This can take forever to work out as I have similar problems with a few of our five. One a blue fronted Amazon can only come out of his cage with his brother Chaz a hybrid Macaw as he is much to territorial and lets face it vicious to be with any of the others. Even I have to be out of the room...
No useful help from me I am afraid. Only know the bird will pick its own partner and it is not always the one you would want it to have!
Our two greys are female and DNA'd but neither have ever laid any eggs or wanted to thank goodness. Think I would pass out if they did!
There are so many...
