      Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to train a parrot try Parrot Ploy Plan ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.

    IDK about some of you guys but the hole that was their ears....after giving my parakeet a shower i found a hole in the side of her head and knew that our conure and had picked on her a few times and I was soooooo worried and I called my mom and said I need to go to the vet as my baby had a hole in her head....imagine my suprise when I learned was only their ear. Good news my parakeet is totally fine, me not so much.

    It's important to take your bird to a vet that specializes in birds and exotic animals. Most general vets don't care for exotic animals and they wouldn't know a whole lot about bird care because they aren't trained in exotic animal care.

    Thank you for the tip on wrapping treats in paper! I have started that immediately with banana. My tip is for others is to remove the bird’s food bowl and hide his large pellets around the cage, among the corners of the bars, in the hanging toys etc. It gets the bird to pay attention to his environment and encourages him to stretch, climb, reach and hang upside down. It makes him feel like he is self-sufficient for food too. My bird was weak, stiff and aggressive when I got him, but he is strong, supple and confident now.

      I too sprout seeds for my bird, but I was wondering why are they healthier? Is it because the seeds use the fat to start growing?

    • @BirdNerdSophie
      @BirdNerdSophie 4 роки тому +1

      Breyanna Gobind yes that’s right, the fat stores get used up and starch is broken down so the percentage of nutrients is higher! 😊

    Do you ever adopt out your birds? Just curious. I like TOPS pellets. My cockatiel likes broccoli but not much else. He is 9 months old and it took me 2 to 3 months to get him to even eat pellets by crushing and placing over seed with dried fruit and Vege mix. Now he eats only pellets for his first meal yeah!

    for conures it’s good to check their preening feather. (a thin light grey feather above their tail) it needs to look clean and smooth, if not then your parrot is having serious preening problems. they shouldn’t look messy or too dry. they shouldn’t look too oily and dark either. you’ll want it to be bright straight and clean

    We had a green cheek conure that was sick and was making a repeatable chirp noise that was strange. We took him to the vet to find out he was really sick. We had to force him, lovingly of course, to drink water and food to nurse him back to health and we succeeded. Just be prepared!

    Does their diet affect the color of their feces at all? I noticed if he eats something of a more red color (my 10 month old caique), his feces is sometimes that color. Otherwise, his feces is normal color.

    We do nail trimming at home. Our Cherry Headed Conure is well practiced in lying on his back. We then towel him, I use a small flashlight so I can ID his Nail Quick since he has black nails & then use either a Dremel or small nail file to smooth the edges so he doesn't tear his nails. Most importantly I always have a Q-tip & anticoagulant (blood stopping) powder at the ready. Tashi let's us know when he's had enough & I split the trim into 2 days. An important clue for me is when his feet become hot, thus indicating he's stressed. It is a 2 person job, but he tolerates it well. We try to make it fun for him. We usually sneak in a wing triim followed by a shower in the sink which he enjoys immensely. Tashi is also captivated by watching Animal Wonders, however he is highly empathetic & becomes very upset if he hears another animal crying.❤ from Tashi in Chicago!

    Why are you saying ZuPreem are good quality pellets? My avian vet advises against them as they are full of fillers like corn and wheat. They also contain oils that are not good for parrots. My vet advises to use Harrison's bird foods. It's organic and non-gmo. Lefebers are great products and Avi Cakes are great. I encourage you to look into the ingredients and hope you will please reconsider advising people to feed ZuPreem pellets.

    Hi, this video was so informative. I work from home and have so much time to spend with a pet, most of my pets are nocturnal so in the day I want a pet I can spent time with whilst I work and also after work too. I had a dog for 14 Years who passed away recently and I am lonely in the day without him, he was a family member not just a dog.
    I want to give another animal an awesome life the same way I did to my dog and become friends with them. What parrot would you suggest that is quiet and not too big but also likes attention and sitting on my shoulder / hand.
    It doesn't have to be able to speak and the quieter the better lol but I of course expect the bird to make noises sometimes.
    Thank you to anyone who can advise me on this process. I am not in a rush because I want to make the right decision since it is a lifetime choice. Also, I want a bird I can take outside with me.

Im curious about something i most possibly may be blowing way out of proportion to current relevance, so much so i cannot recall the degree of detaill, however ill throw it out there anyway. In respect to food recomendations, the name brand Zupreem had a recall i think in 2017-2018, in i believe the parakeet, canary zone, because of this i allow the bag of Zupreem bird food collect dust in my pantry. Its also got what appears to be brightly colored pieces throughout the bag, I've asked Petland staff about this stuff
    and no one knows. Its really neither here nor there, i just want to know about the mystery brand i am hesitant about for my birds. So any possible feedback i would be interested and grateful. Thanks again, that is all.... for this minute...
