I have two Quakers, one green one blue Zachary and Felix.
Zach is about 7 and Felix is a sweet 2 yr old.
They are in separate cages because Zachary has gotten very nasty and attacks little Felix.
Zach bites everything and everyone!
Felix loves me and nibbles but not to hurt.
How can I get Zach to stop the biting so I can get them together?

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.

I have a yellow-naped amazon.
He is approximately 7-8 years old.
We got him as a baby.
He talks very little still.
What can I do to make him talk more?
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 husband is not doing anything as the bird just flew over.

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 can I get my 2 parakeets to trust me when I open the cage to feed them clean the cage?

How many do you have?
Were any of them tame when you received them?
How long have you had the birds?
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.
Every time I try to get my new Congo grey to sit on my hand, he bites me.
How long do I have to keep getting bitten?
Biting is never acceptable.
Not from a bird, dog, cat nor any other pet (said the lion trainer).
Getting bitten solves nothing.
One of the questions we ask here is why is your bird aggressive?
In many cases this is a hormonal issue that can partially be controlled with light.
