Additionally glad these came with a case. Lol.

Pest control entered our apartment without permission this evening. We got home from the grocery store and found a slip of paper to let us know.

I know we cannot receive medical advice here but please, if anyone can help us right now:

Our birds (green cheek conures, parakeets, a cockatiel) all seem to be okay right now but we are watching them closely. They’re all alert and moving around just fine.

What signs mean we need to go to an emergency vet?

We are looking ourselves but does anyone know an emergency vet able to treat birds anywhere close to New Braunfels, Texas. We are, of course, willing to drive long distance if needed.

ANY help you can offer would be so greatly appreciated. We’re also looking at other posts here and other places online for advice.

Thank you.

but these are my reading glasses so the TV is super blurry. What to do????

Names please

If we are all fans of conures ... Do we call ourselves con artists!? 😃

Also, has anyone had luck with getting information from the leg band? I googled the purpose of the band, but just wanted to know what information it gave other folks

Hello,

My friend’s conure is from a pet store that told him to feed the bird with their homemade seed mix. After a visit to the vet, he realized he had to change his diet to pellet (the vet recommend Tropican lifetime).

The conure doesn’t want anything to do with the pellet and as he’s trying to slowly transition him by mixing less and less seeds into his bowl, he sorts his food to only eat the seed and throws away his pellet.

Does anyone know how to make him eat his new food?

Turned my back for one second and she had decided to take a nibble of my food

The first time I caught a whiff of these dinguses post-bath, all I thought was, “yeah, obviously.”

My husband wants to get a conure as he really likes birds. He also has experience with taking care of birds, so there’s no problem with that.

I never had a pet of my own as I don’t think I can give them the care they deserve (enough attention, etc.) but bird will be primarily my husband’s, and he will be the one taking care of it for the most part, so I’m not too concerned with that.

He also thinks that once we do get the bird, I will enjoy taking care of it and playing with it occasionally.

However, I am a bit concerned about the chirping. I don’t like sudden, loud noises, and whenever my husband watches videos with birds, it gives me a headache (a common occurrence for me even outside of loud noises — I am healthy otherwise aside from chronic dizziness and joint pain, and yes, I do drink enough water.) I imagine having a real bird would be that ten times over. Then again, I was never in close proximity of a domesticated bird for long enough to know, so I have no idea.

Is anyone with a similar experience able to give any advice?

Whenever this little fiend, Darwin, gets in trouble (usually after biting someone), she storms off into our dish cabinet and starts muttering and grumbling, no doubt citing incantations for our downfall. Whenever we try to retrieve her from the plate dimension, she goes further in and taps her beak to the walls. I’m assuming that these are hormonal traits, but is there anything I can do to discourage this? Whenever we try to close the cabinet, she’ll keep being bad until we open it. I’m concerned our Little Lucifer might be close to laying another egg in there.

I am about to adopt a GCC and I was wondering what you guys recommend as the absolute minimum number of hours of out of cage time for a GCC would be? I know ideally they need to be out of the cage as much as we can except for when they sleep, but I just wanna know what u guys think is ethical to be the minimum number of out of cage hours should be.

Hi, is it Normal for conures to drop alot of the pellet pieces?

Kiko and Koko are both 6 months old and I am exploring what toys they like and what foods they enjoy. I definitely know the toys they enjoy but it’s the food I need recommendations for.

I had a 16 year old Quaker parrot that passed away and I knew everything he liked and didn’t like. These two little ones are giving me a run for my money.

They are currently on a seed / and I fresh fruit and veggies diet but they are don’t really go for the veggies and only go for the apples and grapes. Im not sure how else to encourage them to go for the veggies. Does anyone know any tips/tricks on how to encourage them to eat the veggies. I am also adding pellets with their seeds but I see mixed reviews about giving them pellets. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance!!
