Is there ever a chance my Quaker Parrot Blu will warm up to my other birds?

He just turned 1, I’ve had him since he was a baby.

We got Winnie the Cockatiel as a baby about 6 months after Blu and just a few weeks ago Chip the parakeet joined our flock.

Blu isn’t as aggressive w/Winnie at this point, but he used to stalk her.

He loved pulling a feather or biting her toes and as a result, Winnie is scared of Blu and little baby Chip.

Stevie Van Zandt requested your answer

I have a rescue budgie, the top of his beak was almost totally gone, just barely hanging. We have NO vet in my area and nobody specializes in birds. I removed what was hanging and she seems ok, I made a “mush” for her to eat. Will the beak grow back?

Hello, My 2 parakeets had been mating & the hen has been laying 14-15 eggs so far.

After the first 9, the male who had been guarding the nest abandoned the eggs.

It seemed they are all unfertilized after looking at them under a bright flashlight.

Then they started building another nest under the table where I keep all their supplies (inside a bucket).

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 can I tame two adult budgies at once?

I would rather not buy two bird cages.

mitchr explains:

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.

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?

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?

Hello, I am hoping you can help me.

About three weeks ago I got a baby parakeet, I was told the bird was 10 weeks old.

The bird had black on its beak, and the cere was still purple in color.
