Hello! I have a very hormonal male sun conure around ~10 years old. When he is out of his cage with me, all he wants to do is regurgitate anywhere and everywhere and go in my clothes.

Even in his cage, he regurgitates on things and humps some of his toys. I’m just not sure what kind of setup I can provide for him that will calm him down and let him play and have interests other than mating. 🙁

Do you have tips? Most tips seem to be for female birds, I’ve never had such a hormonal male though!

My male parrotlet is 1 year 6 months old and takes big chunks out of my husband.

He’ll be watching tv and the bird will fly over and take a chunk out of him.

There’s no reason for this.

My husband is not doing anything as the bird just flew over.

Darla S asks:

Can you suggest a few medium-sized parrot species for a 1st-time owner about to turn 60y?

I am interested in moderation (moderate affection, playfulness, independence, friendliness, and noise) ability to talk would be a plus.

I still work full time, and live alone in my own house.

From Donna E.

question: I have recently been given a parakeet with a splayed leg.

He eats and flys but he’s not very active and basically just sits in one place for long periods of time, especially if another keet doesn’t land next to him to get him moving.

Mitch: I read on line something you wrote about the possibility of training adult budgies.

I have inherited two budgies – about 1-year-old.

They are in a cage and have never been trained.

They seem very happy with each other.

They are very active and chatty.

How many do you have?

Were any of them tame when you received them?

How long have you had the birds?

Barbara G started the conversation

My Timneh (grey) only wants to bite me when I am cleaning his cage which is mostly in the evening.

He’s fine when I am feeding him and he does come out.

He’s only out a couple of hours mostly in the early evening.

I have 2 questions.

I have a cockatiel that a friend gave to me.

When I first got it, there were clearly dark bars on the underside of the tail feathers.

Has Anyone ‘Housebroken’ Their Parrot?

One of the answers from the big Q.

It has been done but I personally advise against it. It is unnatural for them to hold it, and if they become too well potty trained they may harm themselves if they think they can’t go at any given time.

My answer

Parrots poop about every 15 minutes on average.
