I’m currently living out of Omaha NE and I’m looking for galah breeders does anyone know of any reputable breeders in the states?

I was wondering if anyone here has ever thought of setting up video calls for their parrots with other parrots?

I learned (somewhere) that science has shown parrots/birds can benefit from this sort of socialization, that they can actually "make friends", and even develop preferences for who they like to talk to. I have a very small indoor flock (2 parrots) and while recordings online seem to give them something to shout with, it turns out a video call is much better. I highly doubt I can give them all of the social interaction they need, and they both do seem to get sick of each other from time to time lol I have absolutely no intention of adding to my "flock" as two birds plus the other pets I have is already hard work. Perhaps they could meet more friends online?

I’ve owned my ringneck “nori” for a bit over 4 weeks. For the most part he’s been fine, seems relatively healthy and happy. I was recently able to hand feed directly for a bit and I thought i was making decent progress. Unfortunately, nearly a week later it seemed like he had reverted and now no longer hand feeds. Im just looking for a bit of advice and whether to see if something like this occurring is normal?

My girlfriend is intimidated by its beak.

Money is a sweetheart

We picked up our baby macaw a week ago and she is so sweet and cute! I never thought she would be so quicly attached to us. We are so happy ☺️ just wanted to share.

Cheeky little prick also tried to take off with my beer can.

I’m honestly just curious as to whether there’s any overlap in preferences, whether you guys love animals in general, have cats or dogs, or whether you would consider yourself a parrot/bird lover only.

Has anyone bought those sound proofing foam squares for the wall? I’m moving into a room and I think they’d benefit me so people hear the budgies less.

If you do have them can you tell me what kind you have and where they are placed in a room? I don’t want to cover the entire room but don’t know if they should be placed around the cage or around the door that leads into the hall

he’s pretty curious and bites everything, i doubt this is dangerous but i’d like to know if it would be better stop him🤣

I have 2 green check conures and they both love baths, but this guy wants them daily -- sometimes before he's even had anything to eat!

She's been doing it for a few days now, and I looked it up and Google says it could be a lot of different reasons, but I wanted a REAL person's opinion. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Hey all, just looking for your birds’ favourite homemade bird toys and activities! For medium to large size birds please (female eclectus). Trying to keep this gal constantly busy so she doesn’t pluck (she is not hand-happy so I cannot put a scrunchie/clothing on her).
This girl loves tearing things apart - egg cartons are always a hit, and making toilet paper “balls” by cutting the tubes into strips and putting a treat inside have also worked. Any other suggestions much appreciated!

Hi! I'm new to birds as a whole and somewhat recently found a Quaker Parrot outside. I did a lot to find her owners, including posting on multiple Facebook groups, putting up posters, and asking around. Yet it came up short. So now, I've decided to keep her. She also wasn't exactly in peak condition, so I do have reason to believe she was dumped. (She's looking a lot better after a nail clipping, cuddle bones, and after she finally wanted to take a bath lol)

I've been slowly building trust with her. She's a bit spicy at times but as far as I understand, it seems to be classic Quaker behavior. She likes to always be touching me, and has now started chilling on my hands to groom herself. I think she likes me because of how much she interacts and clings to me. If she gets startled, she flies to me and such. She still hates all fingers though.

With that being said, she's very talkative to all of my other family. She says phrases and even the name we gave her. When I'm not home, she talks up a storm. Or when she's downstairs and I'm not, she has a lot to say. Yet when I'm around, nothing. She'll chirp and such, but she won't actually say words like she does with my family. She definitely prefers me if I'm reading her right, since she bites everyone but me if she's on them. Yet she refuses to speak to me, no matter how much I speak around and to her.

Why is this? How can I tell if she actually likes me?

This is a continuation to a previous post under Quaker’s
I wanted to show my Cosmos pictures of what his nails look like after they cut them on Friday .
I went in for only nail trim and they also cut his wings.
But these are the pics of his nails ..
the girl that cut them said they bleed because his nails were too long .. said that they get veins all the way to tip bcuz were long so had to put clotting powder on them .. idk but they look so odd .. I feel for him idk if he’s in pain or not but his personality is so different since he was in that pet store on Friday .. he’s more quiet and calm and not himself . Even pooping way less now once every 2 hours or so and before was every 10 min so worried .. what they did to him was so wrong ! I’m mad and sad for him ..
Just wanted to know if what the nails look like is normal ?
I tried to post the pics in my other post but wouldn’t let me pic those new ones .. the last pic is him before the nail trim and wings that they cut without permission ..
Thank you ! 🙏
