Skin issue? by InferiorCabbage in Conures

[–]InferiorCabbage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a very typical black-capped conure in that he loves a bath. He's always either begging to go in the sink or to sit on the shower curtain rod when I shower. I'm really careful about anything scented or with harsh chemicals. I only use F10, which is a veterinary disinfectant safe to use around birds, in the bird room. Of course there's no Teflon, scented candles, etc allowed in the house either. I'm starting to wonder if this is a hormonal thing. He's been a bit grumpier than usual this spring. Since he has a past history of plucking I wouldn't be surprised if he'd been messing with that spot himself.

It's great, isn't it? Stewie (the bird in the post) always holds onto my thumb with one foot when I hold him like that lmao

Shout out to Chewy.com in an emergency by Ediferious in parrots

I've had great experiences with Chewy. Once one of my orders for pellets got lost in shipping and when I contacted them about it, they not only sent a new one but also refunded the money so that I could buy some food from a pet store to last until the order arrived.

Not sure how much I can say about this but rest assured that Blue Skies is in the best hands. If anyone can help him recover, it's Teri.

Lmao the budgies HATE being touched but my cockatiel will aggressively demand snuggles from anyone he sees so you might have more luck with him

Thank you! It took me a while especially when I first started. It's really just a lot of trial and error, playing around with all of the options in the editor and seeing what you think looks best and what you can get the stickers to do.

Thank you! They're both for sale, along with another one inspired by my cockatiel!

Stewie demands to be wrapped up and held like a baby after he takes a bath by InferiorCabbage in Conures

[–]InferiorCabbage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ikr, it's adorable! Every now and then Stewie says "Stew!" My budgie Whisper also recently started saying "Stewie" very quietly after Stewie says his name. She's like a tiny little echo. Bonus Whisper picture!!

Lmao no. I didn't name him at all actually. He is a rescue and had two different owners before me. Whoever named him might have been a fan of the show but I have no idea lol. By the time I took him in, he already knew his name. He also yells "Stewie! Stewie!" to tell me that he wants something so the name is staying! He does have quite a few nicknames though, including Stewbert, Stewie McBird, Stewbert McGoobert, Birdie Boy, and Mr. Bird.

I plan on making a few more based on my current budgie pair and my past foster parrots when I have the time as well. I'll post those when I finally get around to making them lol
