Pet Sitting
My husband and I are going away for two weeks and will be leaving our two Pionus parrots at home. Their usual sitter will be coming to the house twice a day to feed and clean the cages. Other than that they will be alone. When we are not on vacation we alternate between cage time and free time, however since we will be away, and the birds have a tendency to bite they will not be handled much by the sitter. Should we give our birds the freedom to go in and out of their cages while we are away, or keep them inside for the two weeks?
New to Parrots
I am totally new to parrots, and am trying to find the perfect breed for me. I'm in high school, which would usually mean no parrot would work, but I'm online schooled, so I'm home all the time.
My Pineapple Conure
On September 15, 2015 I Had Got A Pineapple Conure... I'll Try To Make This Story As Short As Possible. 2-3 Weeks Before September 15, 2015 I Got Him My Husband, And I Went In To See Him... He Was The Sweetest Bird. We Got To Interact With Him For A Good 15-20 Minute, He Didn't Try To Beak Me, Or Bite Me Once, We Fell In Love With Him So Fast. This Girl Told Us Or Warned Us That Works At That Pet Store That She Has Bitten By Him, And i Though That Was Strange, Because He Was So Good With Me O.k. The 1st Few Days He Was So Good Sweet, And Nice.
Scarlet macaw
Can someone tell me how I can make sure that my Scarlet macaw has excessive saliva or not? I notice, he has saliva more then my Blue & Gold, but as far as his activities, he is doing just fine. Free flight every day with no problems, except after flying sometimes saliva come out of his mouth. BTW he is one year old. I would be greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me. Thanks in advance.
Conure Eggs Help!
My green cheek conure laid 4 eggs, 2 of which cracked (she didn't lay in nesting box, she laid on a branch, and eggs dropped to bottom of cage). So I have these two eggs in a homemade incubator, humidity, 99 degree temp, but I have no idea what to do when they hatch! They were laid on the 2nd and 5th of April, but I cannot find anything online about what to do when they hatch, only info for eggs, not chicks. Please help me! I need advice on what to do, because all I know is that people feed them Kaytee Extract formula, (my pet store has it) but that's it.
