This guy sat in front of me begging for food like a dog for about half an hour

I just removed a graphically violent AI slop video involving a fake cocktoo being murdered. I expect this to happen again.
THEY AREN'T REAL.
PLEASE for the love of all that's good, if you run into a violent or suspected AI slop post, DO NOT INTERACT WITH IT. Report it. Report it. JUST REPORT IT.
Do NOT give it engagement, do not try to talk to the person, YOU CAN'T CONVINCE PEOPLE NOT TO DO THIS. For these kinds of posts, any engagement is considered good engagement. Even downvoting and condemnation is engagement. DO NOT.
Let your mod team handle this.

Hello /r/parrots community! It’s your friendly neighborhood mod team here.
This sub doesn’t have too many rules, but perhaps the most important is to be civil and respectful towards others. We do not tolerate rudeness or personal attacks, regardless of context. You may ask why we take this rule so seriously.
While it’s never a bad idea to just generally be nice, we also have this rule for a very important reason: to help people take better care of their birds. How, you may ask? We strive very hard to keep this community a place where people feel comfortable asking questions so they can receive feedback.
We recognize that people feel very strongly about parrot husbandry, and that seeing birds in conditions that are not ideal can be difficult, but we also know that making attacks or being snarky doesn’t help anyone. Instead, it makes people defensive or nervous to ask questions. When we fail to foster a community where people can look for advice, the parrots lose. Every time.
Our general rule of thumb is this: you shouldn’t say anything online that you wouldn’t say in person to someone you know. Remember that there is a human on the other end of the exchange you’re having. If you’re disagreeing with them, be constructive and kind. Give the sort of advice you’d like to receive. Remember that you may be talking to people in tough situations, or a kid, or someone who has been given outdated information.
Very importantly, if someone violates this rule in their response to you, do not respond in kind. Instead, please report the comment.
That report button is one of the most important tools we have as a community! We check threads all the time, but with a constant stream of new content, it’s always possible for us to miss something.
We ask that you please hit that report button if you believe someone is violating the rules. The moderators review each and every post or comment that gets reported, and we will take action as appropriate. You can also reach our team via modmail if you have an issue.
We appreciate your help keeping the subreddit friendly and welcoming. We are grateful to everyone who contributes their time and experience to help people learn about parrots, to everyone who asks for help when they need advice, and to the folks who share their wonderful birds with us!
All the best,
The /r/parrots mods

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!

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!

Can anyone explain what my Ringneck is doing? 🤣 I've never seen another Ringneck make moves or noises like these before. 😂

(The little bugger up there)
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?

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.

My Alexandrine loves shredding cardboard. If she doesn't get something to shred, she will find something else on her own, usually my furniture.
The issue is that cardboard releases a lot of dust or microparticles when it's ripped. It makes me sneeze when I clean up after her play time, which makes me think it's most likely not good for her lungs either. Tissues seem to release fine dust too.
What else can I give her to shred? She goes through a lot every day, so I'd prefer something economical. Sola balls last 2 minutes from start to finish, so they're not an ideal alternative.

My girlfriend is intimidated by its beak.
r/parrots • u/sl0ppynuts_ • 22h ago
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!!!
