Hello, My bird got out, spent the day outside and I got him back. I can tell story later - but when I found him - the white on his face was slightly missing in patches. His face is not solid white anymore, but patchy with some spots that are the color of his feet. It has gotten worse over the last week. What can cause this? Is this from a sunburn? Molting? Diet? Another thing - he gets wet really easily now. Whenever I usually spray him with water, or pour water on him (he loves it), it usually just wicks off for the first 10 pours or so. Now when I do it he gets soaked immediately. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I adopted the bird at 5 years old he is now 7. This is something fairly new, but I actually spent less time with him in the past as I had a go in to work job, and no girlfriend(home most of the time). So it's almost like he's become more unruly with more attention. I made him a perch(with toys, he loves playing on it) in the living room so he's in there usually with my girlfriend - the perch is really high up, is he feeling dominant? My girlfriend can be in there for 4 hours with him and the second she leaves the room he starts doing his LOUD LOUD fire-alarm ringing.

Thanks. If I bring him into my office, I cannot focus because he makes noises nonstop if eyes are off of him. I also cannot be talking to clients with a SNYTHETHIZER in the background LOL. He has lots of toys and plays with them, but he prefers to have us staring at him or be biting my girlfriend. This ringing isn't quite a phone, the phone noise he makes is fine.. this ringing noise is his loudest noise and sounds more like a fire alarm.

These birds can make ANY NOISE. I cannot tell the difference between my birds voice and my girlfriends. I cannot tell the difference between the bird and the cat. I cannot tell if it's a real phone ringing, a fire alarm or alarm clock. I am convinced that these birds can make ANY noise.

Hello, I have a 7 year old Male(I think) African Grey. He is an awesome bird and we give him lots of love and attention. He bites my girlfriend constantly, this makes us think he's a female? But the owner said he was tested as a male. Now, I need some help. Puppy won't stop ringing! Sometimes my girlfriend and I have to do other things besides play with him. We both have jobs, we work from home - but sometimes we need our time to focus on work. Anytime we leave the room, Puppy does his loudest noise - his ringing noise. He will do it for 3 hours non-stop. We've tried ignoring it. We've tried saying "NO RINGING" and putting him in the closet for 5 minutes. When we put in him in the closet, he stops. But once we bring him out, he behaves for 5 minutes but the second we leave the room he starts ringing again. We live in an apartment and his ringing sounds like a fire alarm - we can't have this. Any reccomendations on how to teach him that this is unacceptable? Thanks.
