for context : he is a new dad and his baby is in the back and the dads head is poking out the front — definitely had to take a second look when i first saw but so cute that theyre sharing the bed 🫶🏼🦜

My conure (gender unknown) has grown aggressive to everyone but me. It is estimated 5 months old and is suddenly actively attacking my family. He will fly off my shoulder to bite mercilessly to everyone without any reason. It used to spend time with everyone with no problem and now they are afraid of him. He is the most cuddly with me and doesn’t bite. Is this a hormone thing or a bonding ritual i need to do with everyone in my household. I like to let him out of his cage but now i can only do it if im alone or if in a confined room. Any advice?

One of the back talons of my guy seems to always curl in and I do get it trimmed at a bird groomer, but is there any to help mitigate in case life gets in the way and me taking him gets delayed?

My son Dorian finally chewed through his sea grass hut, specifically the two pieces connecting it to the plastic chain/metal carabiner holding it up. 🤣

Well… looks like someone is maybe getting a new sea grass hut, when he gets his nails trimmed at my local parrot rescue tomorrow. 😊

(Please note, most of his toys, are hung up high, at the height of the second perch you see in there, he is not in a barren cage, don’t worry. I just took the photo super up close.)

I got my conure 3 days ago from an account that’s sells conures he’s two months old but he really confuses me. In the first and second day he let me lay him on his back and give him head scratches but the third he kept refusing to lay on his back and then in his cage when we get him out he gets happy and jumps out but doesn’t like being touched he flies to out heads or hand and always is scared of the floor he never gets on the floor so idk how can I play with him or get him to like us when he even is scared of staying on any type of ground other than a head or our hand can someone help?

Ever since I got pregnant, my husbands conure has been obsessed with me. I usually love the Velcro bird attention but she is very reactive when I try to do anything while she is sitting on my shoulder. It always results in her biting me in the face. This morning I was trying to just sit on the couch with her and she just kept charging at my face while I wasn’t doing anything. Before I was pregnant, her cage was open all the time but now whenever she sees me she flies on me. Even when I shake her off she boomerangs back!

I am so hormonal right now so when she bites or even tries to bite me I start crying and my husband locks her in the cage but I know that’s only going to make her more frustrated. How can I help her be less reactive? Is this normal? I’m so scared for when the baby comes that she’s going to go berserk. I love her so much!

I heard that birds like to eat together and mine always try to steal my snacks so I have tricked him and I share food with him when eating fruit or veggies. He actually tricked me to eat healthy lol.

Hello my beautiful parrot people 👋🏽

We got a GCC earlier this year, so this will be our first Christmas with birb. My husband, bless him has said we cannot have an artificial tree especially since my old one has fake snow on it which is most likely dangerous. So we gave that tree away. He did some research and he has found a Christmas tree farm and wants to get a real one since pine is safe for birds.

How reliable are his sources? As I have read in some places pine needles can be dangerous and he will want to chew on them, I have read artificial trees may be safer. What is everyone's advice here?

I LOVE Christmas, but I love my pets more so I need to make safe choices for Christmas decor. Would love any input on this and any recommendations for decorations as well 🥰🥰

I used to have a budgie and he unfortunately passed (rip Beef 🙏🌤️) so I got a conure named Penelope aka PP. I’ve had her for 4 months now and she’s been amazing and I love her. There’s just a new behavior that I’m not familiar with.

1. Preening my lips off. Whenever I lay down she flys to my bed then straight up B-line waddles to my lips and starts getting to work. Is this normal behavior? I try to avoid it because of bacteria in saliva and sometimes she makes my lips bleed. I know she’s trying to show love but it lowkey hurts lol

2. Preening/biting. I never had a parrot other than a budgie so I never had a problem with hard preening/biting. Sometimes when I’m holding PP she would softly start preening my fingers and she would gradually preen harder until it turns more into biting. Is this normal?

Finally managed to get him in his harness lol. He’s definitely not a big fan yet but we’ll work on it!

yes, she just falls asleep like this sometimes.
