Today's parrot of the day is the Nanday Conure/Black Capped Parakeet! Which is what my bird Kiwi is! Behold better pictures of Nanday birds than I can ever take of mine cause she immediately launches at me as soon as I get close for love and cuddles. https://twitter.com/ParrotOfTheDay/status/994814284768169985?s=20 https://twitter.com/ParrotOfTheDay/status/994805143211331586?s=20 https://twitter.com/ParrotOfTheDay/status/994903031685644288?s=20 https://twitter.com/ParrotOfTheDay/status/994920330136203265?s=20

I put some mixed nuts in a bowl on the coffee table. Turns out Sera really likes cashews and he picks through the bowl to find them. Then nut pieces end up on the floor because he's a messy eater.

Does anyone want a gently used conure? Like scritches, screaming at all things, chewing walls, chewing paper, chewing paint off of furniture, and enjoys a bite/woo and puke on relationship with fingers. Will continue to be a turd nugget until, oh, October or so. He ate the drat drywall off the corner of wall by his cage. WTF? Is spring over with yet??

My two parakeets, Blue and Yellow as my father calls them (I call them Chuck Two and Tito Two) need to go get their first ever nail trimmings. They aren't even vaguely tame. I'm currently on a walker and have big problems bending and reaching. How the sweet hell am I going to trick these tiny jerks to get into a travel cage?!

I let him have his favorite bell (jingle bell on a string) back and the past three days have just been budgie tetherball. I just don't exist when he has the bell. I only matter when he wants a kiss or when i grind weed

I'm pretty sure that's from the terrible Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill. The bird is CGI iirc.

It's the only funny scene in the entire movie. It's such a cockatoo thing to do (if it wasn't so scalding hot).

Good news! Chocolate fountains don't typically run much hotter than "pleasantly warm", since people often have their fingers near it. The chocolate stays liquid by virtue of motion and a particularly high fat/oil content. So, you all can put the logical horror of the situation aside, and enjoy the most cockatoo scene ever imagined in film.

so its been a month since the Cockatiel invaded our backyard and became part of our life. hes doing pretty good! his tail feathers are pretty long now and its becoming very apparent he needs a bigger cage, which we are working on. Someone from my GFs work has one she is going to give us. he's taken pretty well to eating a seed mix that has no sunflower seeds in it, in addition to enjoying chewing newspaper or leafy greens (either buk choy or gum leaves from outside). we use sunflower seeds and millet to train him. hes very bitey though. VERY. he hates hands. we have spent 2 weeks trying to train him to get onto our finger and all he does is bite at us. thankfully it doesnt hurt, but I feel like as he grows thats going to change. anywho, we made a biiiiig leap in progress on that last night. since he seems to hate hands, but not our faces (putting your hand near the cage he gets into bitey mode, putting your face near the cage gets no response) I decided to put a sock on my hand and try again. he has trouble getting off the top off his cage and back inside, since the top is curved and he slides down it/cant figure out how to climb down the front of the cage. so I placed my sock-hand flat, palm down as a platform in front of him and lured him out onto it with the millet. After a few bites and a couple of freak outs when I started to move my hand away from the cage, he finally figured it out and now is at the point where he will get onto the hand without too much hassle. still not a big fan of it moving around, even slowly. lots of praise/good noises and a treat when he performs exactly how we want, and then a 5-10min break before we try again, and ignoring him if hes bad. So now that we are at that point, i guess we have to slowly ween him onto perching on a finger using some black gloves to match the black sock, and then eventually just ditch the sock. its kinda weird because hes super chill around us, to the point he will walk out of his cage, onto the couch and get quite close to us, but hands seem to freak him right the gently caress out. even if they are offering treats! Finally, its super hilarious putting cockatiel videos on the TV and watching him lose his mind at the sight of another bird. the best one is this one, because it makes him fly directly at the TV and then around the room excitedly. we are going to give him a chance to use our shower in the next few days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIXDptHCNdg Bonus: he got a little scared when we were hand-training him at one point and flew onto my head, where he tap danced around for a while. that was the weirdest sensation I have ever felt in my life. we havent really named him yet but "cheeky" seems to be what we refer to him as for now.

Does anyone else have a cockatiel that just never wants to go to bed, ever?

Halloween Jack posted:Does anyone else have a cockatiel that just never wants to go to bed, ever? Yeah, my Sera (not to be confused with the lovely Serra up there) is like this. Ozzy is very particular about going to bed on time, but Sera would stay up all night if I let him. In fact, he'll get fussy and defensive if he sees me put Ozzy to bed and he's not ready. I usually will just give him a half hour or so and try again. Eventually he'll be like, yeah okay I'm ready for this.

Nemo is like 80 in cockatiel years, has arthritic feet, and is either unwilling or incapable of actually biting. But she will not go to bed willingly. Whining, fake-biting, and flying off her cage with no particular destination in mind are daily occurrences, not that it does any harm.

Bandit the baby black-capped conure is getting settled but she needs to have something to chew on whenever she’s not asleep. Working as designed?

Shirec posted:Oh def. Now to find what she's particular to. Wood? Rope? Fingers? Anything expensive? Mostly wood, rope, paper, with a side of shredding my cuticles. I get that because she’s just shy of six months she’s in chew the planet mode but while we’re getting along fine I feel bad that she wants to go straight for cuticles when I let her out. Should I start giving junk mail for her to chew on when she’s out or what? Charlie was a biter rear end in a top hat in puberty but as a baby he wasn’t so singleminded in his quest to chew everything.
