Koekie

oeh, I like those toys... And those birds.... Looks like a lot of chewingfun!

regurgitating??? I didn't know what it was until I looked it up on youtube. The translator didn't knew this word NOOO!! If she does that you should ignore her. You can't be her parner, you can't mate with her. If you keep rewarding regurgitating, than you get a bald frustrated bird. It's not good behavious towards a human. That's what I learned.

welcome! How great that you rescued those birds! Can't wait to see pictures of them. greetings Bianca

Smart Ana grey Thank you for the reaction, Koekie gives you a kiss. (and a fart ) My finches can do that to! Go in their cage on request. Is it request? I always say on clue...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he swallows it because the paper is gone. And that is exactly how my bird eats. IF he eats it, it could be dangerous if he eats to much of it. I wouldn't hang it in his cage, and find something else. Maybe hang a carrot in his cage or branches of willow.

Hello I have learned my Koekie a new trick. I don't recommend to teach your parrot this, cause now my birdie won't stop barking:p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQfk6l_P-hQ Greetings Bianca and the dogparrot! Maybe you want to see this to, My Pyrrhura playing basketball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqqv5Nk8NWA

That is strange. I have never met a bird that doesn't like sunflower seeds. Even my chickens would kill for it! I used the clicker too. It works fine but training without it works too. Target training is really fun, I have used it to tame my budgie. But the trick training I do with my TAG, is without the clicker. Have fun training!

this is a usefull topic:) I'm very interested in a blue fronted amazon. I like their enthusiasm:D But I heard there not as social as a grey. If a grey bite is just because you did something wrong or he's afraid. Very easy. Is an amazon as innocent as a grey? And are they as intelligent? Can you learn them tricks, like my timneh can? Don't worry, I'm not going to buy an amazon:) Just a dream, for when I'm older.

I was all excited watching your grimm that I skip the part were you said you aren't feeling well. I forgot to say: hopefully you feel good soon! But you probably will when you get your sweet grimm:D

whaha, he looks like a cuddly toy I have on my bed I love your pink little doggie! Your birds are so dramatic very funny.

thank you for the reacion I'm glad to hear different opinions, because only hearing about that you have to clip their wings is wrong. It's a bit scary that that happens quit often. But for my situation is clipping his wings the best. So I can leave him on the top of his cage with his toys. He doesn't fly of and goes destroying things. And it's also handy for when I go to collage, when I life in a different room. I do like the aviator suit. My pyrrhura had that first. But he had to stay in the cage when I went to school. So I clipped his wings and now he's always playing on the birdtree, or by the window when I'm at school. When I go outside with Koekie, if always hold his toes with my thumb. I don't know if it helps, but it helps for me. He is not afraid at all. Not for cars, bikers, dogs. So I'm happy about that because it reduces the chance of flying away. I do appreciate the reactions, I'm hear to learn and hear different opinions.

aah, what a cute little baby. He looks beautiful!

hello! I measured my timneh and he was 26 cm. Do you say cm? I read on a Dutch site that a timneh is 30-35cm. :eek: Maybe Koekie is a girl? Or he growed bad because I think he was handraised. He hasn't curved bones (or bent bones I don't now:confused:), and I give extra calcium. What do you guys think? Did you ever measured you parrot?

That's beautiful, but sad:( Thanks for sharing.

Our birds can choose their own toys! although, I have the habit too desinfect the toys and put them 24 hours in the freezer

Well, I just searched recipes for birds, and there where alot of recipes with lentils in it. So I guess they can eat it.

Well, I'm sorry that you couldn't enjoy my video. But I clipped their wings. I have never had any problems with it, and the parrotfoundations in the Netherlands all recommend it. What is a little wierd. But with this way, my bird can feel the sunlight every day, and that really important for his physical and mental well being. And I am not going to try a harnass at this moment, because he one year old, and I got him for only 3 months. I don't want a bald unhappy bird. And their birds fly away, my bird never tries he just enjoy the weather. Do you have a link about flying clipped birds? Because I have never heard of it and I want to learn. Does that happen often? I can't imagine that my bird would fly away. You must be very unlucky when something like that happent. The wind must hit the wings exactly on the right spot. A budgie doesn't weight alot, but a parrot...

thank you, that's so true! My birds make me smile every time I think of them. There honest and they never lie. You get what you see. And I'm very happy with what I got.

they can eat lentils, but I not sure if they can eat all forms. That must be scary when he did that. Is he all better now?

ooeeh, I like the thing where he's on. Don't now how you call it, but it's looks great!

Nope, I'm his third owner and I'm really afraid he will start feather plucking if I try. And I don't want that such a smart animal stays in my room his whole life. So I clipped his wings and now I take him everywhere I go. Shopping, on holiday, in the train, on my bicycle. He really enjoys being outside and he sees something from the world. He isn't stuck in my house all day and the sunlight is really good for him. And sometimes when I go to my grandma or friends, Koekie goes with me. He has fresh air and gets very social. In february I have my english speech on my school. I'm doing it about the intelligence of parrots and then Koekie is going with me. So I can show his tricks and tell the people that parrots are very smart and that you shouldn't underestimate them. Have you never seen a bird shopping? Or birds in a cafeteria

When I go walk my dog, I walk my bird too:D Not very long of course. It's still cold in the Netherlands, but Koekie enjoys the fresh air. And there was a little sun today, so that also healthy for Koekie. I made a photovideo of our fun today and I wanted to share it:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r4mhj0V_nc Greetings Bianca

Aah, what a poor little bird. I don't think he can fly with those wierd feathers. Where are his eyes?

Thank you for the link. Looks like I'm going to watch parrotvideos all morning:)

thank you! I love the video. That's just so beautiful and really cool to do.
