OK.... I just came back from looking. And Unfortunately, I called many avians and all said they closed and there's no way I can bring Aoodi to them. I'm gonna tell you what happened. I called many.. but I interested in 2 avian and here is what happened: First, I called an avian near my city, he said "Its an easy thing, you just need bills for the thing the bird have it, and no need for me to see your parrot". So... I felt happy, its an easy thing. After a few minutes I called other Avian and he said "What the first avian told you is not true, this disease doesn't effect parrots, and you must bring him to me tomorrow morning so I can see him, and also he must stay here for few days" And now I don't know what to do .... I don't care about the time I'll spend for Aoodi, I wish I can send him to a trustable avian in your country, but I can't ... Please I need your advice, since I can't do anything tonight (All avians are closed till tomorrow morning), Which avian you guess he'll help, the first one or the second one? And by the way.. since many of you are have experience in parrots, Is there a disease called " Canker " effect parrots? And if you know how to treat it, How? Hmm... If anyone of you can ask any avian he trust, about what's happening to Aoodi, and what disease it may be? and how to treat it? Please I really want cry, don't let me feel that I'm not caring about Aoodi ... I LOVE him so much. Thank you so much for caring and helping ..

I really want to. But Unfortunately, I heard about a lot of fake avians in my country, which made many birds die. This is the first thing. The other thing is the nearest avian is 3 hours away from my city. And by the way, how do I know if the avian I'm going to is good one and he has a well knowledge of birds? God... My heart is crying cause of that.....

OK.... I'm really afraid :eek:. Aoodi doesn't seems good, his behave changed much, he used to whistle and do funny sounds. But these last days he just stay silent, his throat or under his beak area is a bit puffed, his tongue seems to have a white spots and his saliva looks a bit more viscous and it get out of his beak and dropping around. What's happening? Please answer me as quickly as possible. Really scary situation for me :eek:. Thank you.

:confused: I have started serving vegetables to Aoodi, but all I'm seeing that he cuts it and throw it away, in the seem time he eats very very small amount of it, and the rest are on the floor:rolleyes:.... why he's doing this? And is he getting the benefit of vegetables by doing this? :confused:

This was worm welcoming ... I'll try my best to learn and even to tell what i know ( if i got something ).. Thank you.

Thanks a lot . I feel a person with more knowledge now :cool:, thanks to you . I'll try to do what you said for sure. and by the way something good just happened to me Aoodi Regurgitated to me this afternoon... Feeling lucky :cool:. Thanks for the replies again .

He do actually spends most of his time outside the cage, Well.. let's say 1-2 hours in the cage 22 hours out of it. And I currently looking for bigger cage, hope i can find some in my county... if not i must order one from a website or something. Thanks for your replies .

Hello everyone, Ok .. Since I'm new for parrot owning, I'll ask few questions. And here we go : Q1: My parrot is 1 year and few months old, is it still easy to make him love me? and how? ( Can't wait till that day come :rolleyes: ) Q2: My parrot seems don't love to stay in the cage, is it ok to let him out of the cage all the time? Q3: Is it right that if I let him out of the cage all the time that he thinks he's the boss and wont care about me? Q4: I have heard that I should not let the food in his cage all the time so reward thing work perfectly, is it right? Q5: How I let him play with the toys i get for him? Q6: Which way is better: 1-Make his cage in my room, and if i go out of home he will be almost alone. 2-Make his cage in the living room, and he rarely will be alone, but I wont be able to be with him all the time, as I do my things in my room. Q7: How do I learn him "Step up" command? ( dreaming that he steps up all the time )? Q8: Bathing, bathing and bathing .. How? I always try but he don't enjoy it at all, and he let his feathers together and the water don't go through to his skin. Q9: About rewarding, what's the best treat as reward? Q10: Is it ok to spray him daily with water? Well.. I guess that's all what i can remember at the moment . If i remember another thing I'll post it . Sorry for these many questions, but sadly none i know and asked told me the right thing to do, Aoodi is with me for around 2 months now. I almost lost Aoodi trust because of an advice from a person i know. But when i saw this website i started doing what you saying. And the good thing is that Aoodi now let me get my hand closer than usual :cool:. Thank you all Hattan

Hello My name is Hattan. I'm from Saudi Arabia. I joined this site after what I saw of the good experience that I didn't see before... I have a grey called "Aoodi", 1 year and few months old ( not sure how many month exactly ), he does so wonderful sounds, make me touch him ( sometimes ), eat from my hand and other things. But unfortunately, he still bites and screams, move away when i try to touch him and I think his previous owner didn't learn him "step up" command. Anyways, Since I'm new to this whole thing, I'll be asking a lot ( hope you excuse me ). Well ... Don't know if I'm missing anything .... I'm looking forward to learn from you all. Umm... almost forgot I'm sorry about my English. Thank you.
