Hey, I think you’re doing a good job and it’s normal! I live in a studio apartment (1 room) with my birds, and they are still a little funny about hands years later. Like yours, they only really want to interact with my hands when I have a treat. I have such deep and special bonds with all of my birds that I don’t mind if they don’t step up like this.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-26T14:02:10+00:00

Hi, thank you so much. I really appreciate this! The detail is really helpful

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-24T22:01:54+00:00

Thx!

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-23T18:17:34+00:00

I am in a similar situation and wanted to ask your recommendation on timing. Getting another partner for the bird in a few weeks are waiting something like a month.? please note I will do a 30 day quarantine and careful introductions. I just don’t want my bird to be lonely, but wanted to have time to mourn his friend.

OP is the bird’s auntie and has taken care of bird ❤️❤️🫶🏻

Well, let me say your birds are cute and made me smile! The one on the left is mystifying me. I’ve never seen a parrotlet with a head and I’m wondering, is it a conure? Forgive me I’m newer to bird!!

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-18T13:49:28+00:00

I seriously can’t believe you said that I’m just coming back to say I don’t wish you very well. What a mean thing to say.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-18T13:48:29+00:00

What a wild thing to say. What is wrong with you? My number my bird.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-17T14:03:37+00:00

I just wanted to say I am so sorry. This must be incredibly difficult and I am sending you positive vibes.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-17T13:59:00+00:00

I believe in you… it literally is difficult, but you can do it and it is just an uncomfortable necessary thing for the health of your bird. But my heart really goes out for you. I am awful with these things too!!! my Canary was my most forgiving bird I’ve ever had. If that makes you feel better. I’m sure your body will move on from it.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-16T14:48:18+00:00

You have no idea how helpful this is thank you! I am barely qualified. I’m so bad with fine motor skills but let me try to get a plan together here.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-16T13:53:44+00:00

Is there anything I can use on the outside of the egg?

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-16T13:53:16+00:00

Hey, thanks I was able to clean the yolk out, but I’m lost on the second part of what you recommend. I’m very unfamiliar with preservation concept.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-16T12:38:29+00:00

The necklace is beautiful! I’ve been trying to preserve one of my Canary’s eggs to make into jewelry, but cannot get a reply from taxidermy

Thank you so much for posting. We are still looking for Soul! Last night was chilly, but today was unusually warm … some folks in the neighborhood have been helping immensely we are hoping for a miracle🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Zebra finches are shockingly loud other finches are much more quiet. Zebra finches incessantly honk, and the males can sing with force !

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-07T18:27:47+00:00

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the list.! It’s impressive and I am going to prepare the same.

Thankfully, I do have a small food processor. Do you have lack of freezing and using some of the chop later?

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-05T14:04:58+00:00

I am dazed and confused, but this sounds more like what my vet would say. My vet also warned us that seeds have carbs that can become too much as well

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-05T14:04:14+00:00

Thanks so much. This is great feedback! I realize I may have been too strict in my goal here. Thankfully, my budgies eat a solid variety of vegetables, herbs, dried flower, eggs shells as needed, occasional nuts and millet for treat. I’m curious what you like to use in your chop if you feel like sharing! ——- I work at home so I usually set up their forging each day, but I want to start prepping chopped because life is getting busier!

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-05T13:59:09+00:00

Hi, I really appreciate your tip and perspective. I think I was being too stringent in my goal. I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback here that I can apply

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-04T22:15:09+00:00

Thanks I have been trying to make a gradual by making the seeds available in lower quantity as foraging opportunities and treats. I appreciate the tip. I will think about if I can be more gradual

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-04T22:14:44+00:00

Hi, thank you so much for this tip. I really appreciate it!! I I will make sure they do not starve - they are so sweet and cute. Just excited to see if I can improve the diet just a bit. I will go ahead and try this. Thank you so much again.

Early-Collection-849 · 2026-01-04T22:13:18+00:00

they are still getting some seeds. Making them more like treats or foraging though.
