It's Mochi's hatch day, and he's two! Unfortunately I'm not in Canada to celebrate with him, but mr. ana will do a good job. According to recent reports, now that he is a big boy, he has learned to backsass and is spending a lot of time yodeling and shouting naaaaaaaaaaaw when asked to stop.

My birds just arrived at my new home in Western America and my health went from "dying" to "recovering" and I miss this little corner of the Internet. gently caress my e/n life - how is everyone and their flock?! P. S. I'm not crazy. Sometimes a certain diagnosis can make you a little...intense. If the birbs weren't in bed you would all get pictures. I've never owned two parakeets that actually like each other.

According to recent reports, now that he is a big boy, he has learned to backsass and is spending a lot of time yodeling and shouting naaaaaaaaaaaw when asked to stop. Happy Hatchday Mochi!!! <3 Guys? My bird is so weird! So, I went to the store this am cos she was out of her fresh stuff, and I needed to get a few things anyway. I got some passionfruit for her and I, a banana, an apple, some broccoli/peppers/salad mix, and some blackberries. I also picked up some swordfish they had, and I thought...oh! That would be great for lunch! So, I get home and Cricket helps me unload the groceries, and sees her stash of noms in the bags and is all happy and excited. I get my lunch all cooked, and get her fresh plate ready so we can eat together. Well, apparently the banana is a missile and needs to be thrown across the room, and the passionfruit is OMGEVIL!!!! and must be screamed at. The apple, that she normally loves apparently is in cahoots with the passionfruit and gets chucked as well. Peppers, apparently, are acceptable today, and the broccoli is just waved around and then tossed in the same pile as the apple and banana. The fresh greens are meant to be tossed in the air like a tickertape parade. Blackberries are carefully carried inside the cage, thrown the bottom and then jumped on. She has dark purple toes now from ehr little grape stomping routine  My bird shirt has purple birdie footprints now (sigh)So, then she realizes that I have food on my plate that is untouched by birdie feet...and she knows birdie feet add flavor so over she comes. She is after my swordfish I say "Look we are eating broccoli! Yum!" She looks at me and pretty much gives me the look that goes "Dude...screw the broc. You have the fish and I want it." All it is is swordfish baked with a little seasoning and butter. Finally I give up and take some from the inside of the fish so no seasonings etc and let her have it. She grabs my fork and the fish and starts going " MMMMMMMMMMMMMM" "Its yummy" "Its good"My friggin bird loves fish I looked it up and they can have some so I let her have a few more little bites, and managed to get her to eat broc off my fork as well...but geez. I had no idea conures loved fish lol I finished up and put my plate away and she was telling me the whole time, "Its yummy" " Its good!" She figured out it was gone....so she bit me and fluttered away. Honestly...ungrateful little poo poo lol Disco Salmon fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Samba update for everybody: He is a velcro bird through and through. He hasn't tried regurgitating over the past bit but he loves being on and around me. His favourite toy in the world is playing with the rope on my housecoat. I'm trying to sort out what sounds are natural for conures and which ones are just him because I don't want to get super excited about him 'talking' if that's just sounds conures make. He seems to be repeating the *kiss* *kiss* sound I make to him which is pretty distinct. Also he's making a new sound that I haven't heard before that has become a greeting of sorts with him. When I take him out of the cage he makes a sound like "ee-uh" "ee-uh" which might be his attempt at 'step up'.

Testikles posted:Samba update for everybody: 1) give us ALL the Samba updates, I'm already quite fond of your dumb birb since he's clearly a mutt like mine relatedly -- a maroon-belly conure is boarding at work and I definitely think based on Samba's coloration he's a maroon belly/green cheek mix. Said maroon belly is just the sweetest thing in the world so  2) conures are sometimes enthusiastic talkers but universally bad at it. Your 'is he saying a thing?' instincts are probably spot on.

Scout (a GCC) is growing a random orange feather on her right shoulder where a green feather should be. I thought it was infected at first but she wasn't showing any signs of pain so I let it grow and today some of the waxy coating came off and the tip of a fiery orange feather poked out. WTF?

Although now that I said that aloud I'm sure you'll tell me it's somehow a macaw. Edit : I've got a PM or two asking so I'll clarify that I was laid up because my pancreas tried to kill me again. It didn't. My birbs? I swear their month or so away from me made them lovebirds instead of parakeets. Captain Log fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Aug 16, 2017 |

Yo Bird People, I have a question for those that might have experienced something like the following: I own 3 budgies, two males, one female. One of them were/are a couple, until recently when I had to separate them. Basically the female became eggbound during what seemed to be her first laying attempt, 4 years in her life. She got taken to the vet after the initial recommendations didn't work out and the bird was becoming lethargic. Long story short, bird is saved and got quarantined for a while. Now the problem is this : vet said egg binding might have been from her size, considering she's quite small for a female and considering that all other things in terms of vitamins seems to be well going for her, and thus he recommended she stayed separate ideally during breeding season, IE: spring and summer :/ Is this a thing? To keep females separate for half the year? Won't the female being alone get worst health out of some forced couple separation? I really have no idea if that's a thing, but I assume animals still feel some form of it. So yeah : preventing egg binding while knowing the female has all her food needs and variation, how do i?

StarMinstrel posted:Yo Bird People, I have a question for those that might have experienced something like the following: I've had a bunch of parakeets and only seen genuine mating behaviour from my cockatiels. Parakeets tend to only get freaky when they think they have a nest. Look for anything cozy and remove it. Pet store parakeets almost all have vision problems and are bred to be underweight. They really shouldn't breed. I've never heard what the vet recommended but I'm not that kind of doctor. This is awful, but petstore parakeets tend to live about four to seven years in my experience - even with solid diet and activity. They are very stroke prone.

Oldsrocket_27 posted:Nicky update. Fiancee coming home cheered her up immensely, but from the moment we had to force feed her the medicine/solution, she became a different bird. Almost stationary on her perch whenever we're near, suspicious of our every motion. Far less active, far less willing to eat. We've stopped force feeding her, and instead are working on rebuilding our relationship and finding daily new ways to trick her into drinking it, most of which involve her believing that she's drinking something that we're drinking. Getting her to eat enough has been a similar program. She's getting sick of the formula (even with peanut butter in it!) and doesn't always want to eat what we're eating. We offer her food, especially formula, far more often than she takes it to ensure that she's being encouraged to eat enough to actually get her to eat enough. Grinding up pellets into egg and then dry cooking them scrambled worked well this morning, but we have to make sure it doesn't put her off eggs alltogether, because it's the thing she most readily eats right now, and if she gets sick of it or decides the pellets ruin the eggs, we may run out of things she'll accept. Hey man, I noticed nobody really responded to your Nicky posts, so I just wanted to let you know that you're doing good. I don't have a lot of good advice to give, other than cockatoos of any stripe can be enormous fussy drama queens, and sometimes you've just got up power through their bullshit and make them do what they don't want to. It sucks, and it'll make you feel like an rear end in a top hat, but it's ultimately best for birb. She'll get over it, eventually. Try gingersnaps for sheer calorific value. If Nicky likes fruit, maybe try injecting medications/dietary supplements into those? I had good success with that.
