Talon

IAs the others said, I would NEVER give supplements to my parrots without a vet recommending it because they need it.  Just give him a variety of fruits,  veggies & pellets.

My 3 have rope perches, all kinds of wood perches . I try & give them a variety.

There are plenty of places online. Where are you located, that would help narrow it down. 

He may be bored. Do you keep the tv 9n for him, my birds watch a parrot dvd all day while I’m working.  They also have toy buckets with toy pieces, wood, balls etc wrapped individually in paper with the ends twisted for them to forage with, sometime I wrap treats in there also.  Lots and lots of toys for him to tear apart and wood to chew up.  It is hard once they start plucking it can become a habit. I have one that started plucking last ear and it’s because she is the lowest on the totem pole and doesn’t get enough attention..my other two sometimes bully her away from the table when we’re eating......it’s sad, but I do the best I can in giving her special alone time...😞

Yes she is young, but my Amazon was the same age when she started as well.  They seem to know when spring is regardless of where you live. Sounds like she’s excited by you. It’s ok if that’s the case..it’s just life with parrots!

When she is with you does she do this all the time or just some times?  If it is hormonal, she probably won’t do it in the winter, it is spring when their hormones kick in to gear.

Welcome!  Oohh..she has some red factor in her!  That's pretty special.  She may or may not keep that. Sometimes when they molt the grey will come in, some birds keep it, others lose it.  

It is hard to see on the video, but to me it sounds like she's excited by you..it's hormonal most likely since there are no  other issues with her.

Such a good reminder we need to hear . We get so busy in life, we forget the important things.  never knowing if this is our last day

Things certainly look different.  Stark.....

 

Well it costs $$$ to keep things updated ...We can't expect Kevin to continue to pay the big bucks since he is not the owner..that's why donations to him will help in all the costs he has spent here to keep us going.  If members can't afford it, that's fine, no worries, but encouragement or postive comments are better than.........

I give my parrots straw toys and lots of toys with soft plastic, they love tearing them apart. I have never seen my parrots eat anything other than paper. I personally don't worry about it as they seem to leave everything in sheds on the floor. They have zero interest in flannel or cloth.. I have toy buckets I fill in their cages once a week.  I fill them with (safe) broken toy pieces, wood, jingle balls etc. I take paper and wrap them individually and twist the ends. Fill their buckets with these things & they have fun chewing the paper off and destroying what they can.  SOmetimes I put in cheap toothbrushes or clean popsicle sticks also

Yes!  Keven,

Would you accept donations from us?  

Testing my pic size from here at work..:)

Understood & agreed 100%  !    

Love it !   

Thank you Kevin for all your hard work!  

WOw that posted huge....WIll have to figure out how to downsize my pics & videos.

My trash bird...:)     

Yes, although I check regularly..it has been quiet.... I am great, my flock is even better!  My amazon is now 12 years old and finally getting less hormonal than in the past.so that's a good thing for us!

Talon is 15 years old

Rikki 15 years old

Nilah 12 years old

Sorry, I found them!

Kevin,

Are all the rooms now gone?

Oh Kevin...what would we do without you!  Please do what is easiest for you and less time consuming.. We are just happy to be here & appreciate everything you do for us!

Can't seem to get the video to upload here....maybe if Kevin comes along he can help me..:/

Hope she is doing ok now!

I will need to get new cages one day..I think the cost of SS cages equals the $$ spent replacing metal cages over time  ...no?  

Okay, I just looked..I am wrong!   lol

Oops, I didn't check the link...I have it on my home computer..I will fix the link when I get home  (at work, playing hooky)
