He has a type. He doesn’t get nearly as excited for the upright romaines and he had 0 interest in the red bibs.
I’ve been searching tirelessly around the neighborhood and putting up flyers in nearby areas. I’ve also posted on Facebook and pretty much every other social media platform I can think of, but I don’t know what else to do.
If anyone has any advice on how to find him, please help. I’m attaching his flyer in case anyone has seen him. His name is Stitch, and he went missing near SW 88th St and SW 165th Ave in West Kendall, Miami, on October 7.
If you see him, please don’t chase him. Try to keep him in sight and contact me right away.
I can’t begin to explain how heartbreaking this has been. Any advice, sightings, or shares would mean so much to me. Thank you 🙏🏻💔
We’re in the middle of a full house renovation and having to keep him caged up for longer than we’d like but when he does come out he’s has a really good fly around and today he found great pleasure in an empty canderel container - so much happiness that he fell off the bed three times 😂
Archie, Blue Fronted Amazon 🦜
He was about 33 years old here. My dad got him about 5 years before I was born and we grew up best mates. I moved away for work in my early 20s and he wasn't getting as much attention as deserved, so he's now living out the rest of his days with lots of friends at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park.
Went to see him about 6 months after and none of the birds responded or came up to the side of the aviary, tried for ages! I think I could tell which one he was, sat on a rope staring from the back, but I can't be 100% sure as there were hundreds of birds. The keepers said rehomed parrots often ignore their previous owners so at least its not just me.
Here's a short video of some things he used to do, laughing or dancing usually. Miss him still and no other pet will replace him 💚
This was taken in May of this year.
I love her but don’t let her little cuteness fool you. She’s the devil himself in bird form. All she does is bite, scream, and bite. She wants to be outside the cage all the time just to annoy the living shit out of us.
These are wild parrots who I feed in my balcony in India
This parrot has been in the neighborhood for many months (NorCal). Only recently in my yard. Many neighbors feed him and there are a lot of gardens and fruit trees around. He must have been someone’s pet. One neighbor posted ads but no one responded. He follows the crows to find us bird feeders for food and safety (hawks and cats). At first, the crows flew away from him (who is that weird looking guy making those horrible noises?) then they eventually accepted his presence. After his dusk shouts, Ive seen him fly with crows. Lately, I’ve seen loose, white down under his tail so I think he has a cozy nest somewhere.
He comes to my yard in the mornings and calls for me from the trees or just waits until he sees me come out and flies up. He’s even flown so close I thought he might land on me. I can hand feed him but never tried to touch him. Doesn’t talk or respond to music. Hates the phone and will look or fly away if I try taking photos. I have no interest to keep him. I have a cat and not enough time or space to properly care for a pet bird. I will feed him as long as he comes by. He seems very happy and probably living his best life.
I am concerned about hawks and the upcoming winter. It doesn’t get terribly cold here but it could be far more than he is used to. He’s very smart to befriend the crows and there are other truly wild parrots in the area he might find and bond with. Any recommendations to help him survive?
Food on the plate is parrot food and fresh fruit and shelled / whole nuts on top. He loves purple grapes and apples.
If conditions allow, I'll let them out so they can be happy too. I believe animals, just like people, need to be treated kindly! Look, it actually enjoys interacting with me ??
I would really like some advice and guidance. I've had my two male quaker parrots for 7 years, they're always together and i cannot separate them (not very relevant but this is just background info).
For the past couple of years, I have been experiencing depressive episodes on/off, which has had an impact on my energy, motivation, etc. I am also currently in school which has added more stress.
I hate to say this, but I don't think I am able to care for my parrots as I used to be. I no longer have time to play or hangout with them, there are days where I even forget to change out their food and water.
I love my birds so much, it would break me to give them to someone/someplace else, but I don't want to neglect them, or deprive them of a better life.
They have also gotten bitey and wont let me hold them as much over the past few years, they still act normally towards me in other ways, but handling them physically can be hard.
Mainly, I need advice on whether I should just suck it up and force myself to keep caring for them, or advice on where I could give them, and how to do that. I obviously want them to be in good care, but the two main reasons I have been nervous at the thought of giving them to someone else are:
Any advice and guidance is appreciated, this is a very hard situation for me, and I really don't know what to do.
I’ve got three irn, four conures, and a fischer’s lovebird every day, they get a chop mix of zucchini, capsicum, carrot, cabbage or lettuce, and corn with coriander and dill they also get spinach once a week, fruit every couple of days, and mixed seeds every afternoon, plus plain eggs and chicken once a week.
Today I added in some chia seeds, quinoa, and oats, the oats are in a separate little bowl that I want to give them every two to three days. How can I make my chop recipe even better for them?
Hello! I have an Amazon and a Linnie in the bonus room of my house. About 15 feet from them in my closed off room is my room, which needs to be painted and redone.
I’m worried about the fumes. I’m able to open a window wide, likely tape off the vent and have the door closed with fans blowing out any fumes . But I’m still anxious.
My Linnie’s cage is able to be moved downstairs easily, but my Amazon has a huge heavy cage.
I would maybe be able to keep them in a downstairs walk in closet. Or maybe I’m being too anxious about it. What are your thoughts?
He struggles to stay propped up on both legs, so he usually is at the edge of the cage and uses the "broken" leg sort of as a hand. To sleep, however, I notice he tries to balance himself with both both legs spread apart, and cuddles next to momma. At night, when they are preparing to sleep, I hear the baby flapping its wings because he loses balance and falls. He falls and loses balance multiple times.
Sadly, this baby lovebird was born with this leg deformity (or had it shortly after birth, not sure). I looked it up and unfortunately it's too late to try to fix the leg because the bones have hardened. I came into the picture later, but I still want to give it a better life. I feel sad every time I see him struggling.
I wanna adapt the cage for him but I am not sure how to do it, and also if I should do it in the ssme cage as the parents, or separate him in an adapted cage?
I also fear his legs hurt because I think when I touch the upper leg, he shakes a lot like he is sensitive in that area.
