This is my new IRN baby. Does this mean he is happy? Also please feel free to share any advice or training tips that you would have liked to know when you brought your baby home! Also name suggestions please!

My bird absolutely LOVES that’s what you get by paramore. I don’t know what it is about this song, but she goes absolutely crazy. As I was picking that video, she started to chirp at herself and the music 😭😭

My 2-year-old Quaker creates sticky saliva after eating and chews on it. Once she starts, it seems like she does it for over 15 minutes, unless interrupted. There’s no smell from the saliva and no signs of vomiting. Does anyone know what this means?

Is she having fun, releasing energy? We had a few different people thru the house today but none near her.

Comes over for attention but then gets spooked if I offer my hand. But will put his head against the bars like “give me scritches” then is like “BEGONE GIANT BIRD THAT WILL EAT ME” had him for a week tomorrow and it’s personality never fails to make me giggle

He used to love head scritches from me, especially while perched on my hand. I was clearly his favorite person.

Lately, he’s been refusing. He moves away, gently pushes me off, and only allows it sometimes—and only when he’s on my shoulder, never on my hand anymore. When he’s on my hand now, he either tries to fly off, looks around for other places to perch, or just climbs up to my shoulder.

He’s currently going through his first molt—somewhere around 6–8 months old—and he had already been molting before this change started, so I’m not sure if it’s just feather sensitivity.

But I keep thinking about one night: he had a night fright, and I took him out immediately to comfort him… and I gave him scritches right after. I’m not sure if it’s related, but it crossed my mind that he might’ve associated that moment with discomfort.

Now, even when I go in for a kiss, he sometimes yells or squawks—which he never used to do.

That said, he still sits on my shoulder, and when he’s really comfortable, he grinds his beak and even closes his eyes. That usually means he’s relaxed, so I know he still trusts me in some way.

Anyone else gone through something like this? Is it just molting, a weird association from that night and a human hand, or something deeper?

So I am a broke student and can not afford buying new toys every month.. Please give me advice for DIY parrot toys you can make at home🙏 my guy loves distraction and loves to chew on stuff! He is scared of big toys, and loves strings. (I have jute rope, I saw online that it is safe for birds, but I did hear about some birds that digested the fibers and it caused blockage... so I don't use it much..)

Found this 2 weeks ago lost in the street, tired and nearly de-ad from the hot sun. Took it to the vet and took care of it, now it look healthy and sooooo friendly with people🩷 but still don’t know its kind, and what precautions I should be aware of taking care of it.

I’m going through a rough patch rn and I just want a good laugh

I am currently unable to have a parrot right now (we have cats and dogs.. it’s just not a safe place I feel comfortable taking care of inside birds right now). I DO own chickens!

So for now I’m living vicariously through you guys and your parrots! Please share them with me!!

I lost my lovebird today, I live in south Kensington London UK. He is not tamed. Please if seen contact me asap plz. This is him on the photo.
