Windy City Parrot Defines Small And Medium Size Species Of Pet Birds
Small species pet birds
Birds we classify as “Smaller” species
FYI There’s something like 100 species of Conures. Conures need to be subdivided into small, medium & large (which is on our to-do list)
Green cheek conures weigh 64 grams (cockatiels are about 100 grams – Patagonian conures weight about 280 grams, about the size of a Timneh African grey.
Don’t think for a minute conures can be classified into one size category

Can I Grab My Parakeets While In Their Cage
First of all, people who state absolute truths about bird care as in yes and no have much to learn.
To answer this question with an emphatic “no”, begs even more queries:
- It’s time to take the bird to the vet, how do I get it from cage to carrier?
- The bird is sick or injured in the cage, now what?
- How do I get the bird to examine it?
- What if I need to weigh the bird?
If you just want to let the bird out by opening the cage door have you examined your home?

How To Set-up A Handicapped Galah Parrot Cage
I have a young Galah parrot (aka rose-breasted cockatoo) who is missing her toes on one foot.
She was three weeks old when she developed constricted toe and had the amputation, so she really has no idea that she’s handicapped.
Editor’s note: Animals never do.
She’s a little over two years old now. (1st April 2016)

How can I tame two adult budgies at once?
I would rather not buy two bird cages.

It’s been recently discovered that the first parrot breeders in North America existed almost 1000 years ago.
Birds on the other hand existed freely around the planet for about 99 million years prior to humans containment of them.

Cream Cheese, Rescue Budgie Number 10 In Our Flock
This has become a helluva slippery slope.
0 to 10 budgies in 25 months.
They are in this big beautiful Prevue F050 aviary.
They’ve created their own micro-culture.
Is This a Proper Budgie Cage Set Up?
Is this a proper budgie cage set up?
First of all you do not indicate the bird’s lifestyle.
Will this be a solitary bird who spends a lot of time in the cage or will the bird be out of the cage a lot and basically used for sleeping?

What Are The Most Difficult Parrots To Keep As Pets For Most Bird Owners
What are the most difficult parrots to keep as pets for most bird owners?
First a little housekeeping.
When we talk about species of birds, it’s important to be specific.
To say that “cockatoos are needy” would be inaccurate.
