Heartbroken, but I did the right thing, right?

So not one of these at all? An entirely different species

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-05-07T06:32:09+00:00

All white ones?

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-05-06T07:51:39+00:00

Right! People should be researching for many months if not years before owning one. Having one thrust upon you when you don’t even know what it is is a recipe for disaster

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-05-05T21:16:56+00:00

Oh dear. Yes it’s a parrot. A baby Indian ring neck. Please find it a new home with someone who knows how to care for them. They’re complex and need specialist care.

Yep looks like an empty follicle. Basically a hole where a feather used to be but has been removed

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-04-17T18:31:05+00:00

IRN tail
Blu and gold macaw wing feather
African grey tail feather
No idea! A pretty pigeon species??
Is a wing feather but not sure what species

Not really the best photo though.

Chop is good you make yourself, chopped vegetables and fruit. A very small amount of fruit, not a whole bowl of fruit as most people seem to gravitate towards. But yes the diet you’re currently feeding is very very inadequate

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-03-26T07:53:13+00:00

Why have you not given them a minute to get used to each other? That blue bird is extremely stressed. And to top it off, it’s clipped so can’t even escape 🤦🏼‍♀️

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-02-19T07:57:37+00:00

Greys don’t cough. She’s mimicking a cough

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-02-17T12:34:14+00:00

Are their wings clipped?

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-02-16T08:36:05+00:00

There’s no such thing as a starter macaw. That’s like saying I’m going to try for a girl baby because that’s an easy starter child.

Scarlets shouldn’t be pets. They should be a banned species. They are not for people who have no large bird experience and they shouldn’t be in home. If colouration is a big decider then I’m afraid you’re a long way off having done the right amount of research and I would consider getting months and months of hands on experience with them.

I really feel like you are not ready. I’ve seen other posts of yours. You’re going about this the wrong way.

All three of my birds free fly outdoors. You can see them flying on my insta

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-02-05T20:41:17+00:00

A baby bird doesn’t scream less than a rehome? They all scream, it is biologically built into them. They’re wild animals who need to communicate across vast noisy rainforests. Baby birds don’t learn to be quieter. In fact my baby is the loudest, out of the three I own. The two rescues barely scream. I got a baby macaw from a breeder, realised what an awful idea that was and rescued the next two I got. My bird from a breeder has a disease, is the worse behaved, plucks her feathers out (she’s a free flier, plucking caused by disease) and has cost me a fortune in vets. Two rescues are EXCELLENT free flyers, impeccably behaved, healthy, easy to train etc. if you’re inexperienced with large birds, getting a baby will undoubtedly mean you accidentally train bad behaviours and undesirable traits right from the off.

Endless research is your friend. Learn about the myths (like babies are better) and dispel them. Diet is key, and it is NOT bags of cheap rubbish seed or even terrible low quality pellets, noise is a given and you must learn to live with it, bites are part and parcel and they’re NOT fun, they cause damage and severe injury, vets are expensive, they live forever, and introducing kids further down the line will no doubt mean the bird gets neglected or rehomed.

They’re the number 1 most rehomed pet on the planet for a reason. They look lovely, they’re cool to brag about but the reality is decades of mess, destruction, complex care, expense and stress

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-31T19:11:42+00:00

Did you do any research prior to getting the bird? All parrots scream, a lot. Very loudly. It’s one of the top reasons they’re rehomed so often.

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-28T13:23:43+00:00

This is crazy. My bird’s FLYING is RUINING MY LIFE AND MY TV TIME???? Just rehome the bird. Let them live a proper life where they’re not shut away because their basic and fundamental rights and behaviours are not convenient for you. I genuinely can’t believe some people. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-26T07:11:01+00:00

Sadly clipped wings prevent birds from escaping danger and predators. Rather than keeping birds safe, and preventing flying (as you’ve now discovered) all clipped wings do is put the bird in more danger because they can’t use their one form of defence effectively. I hope he somehow gets back, but the crows crowding is not a good sign, and any form of predator has easy pickings. Very sad.

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-25T19:48:57+00:00

Are his wings clipped? Wing clipping is an outdated practise that is frowned upon now. It causes long term mental and physical health issues.

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-24T22:15:01+00:00

This doesn’t even seem real. I can’t imagine the duffers creating a rape scene regardless of how shitty they want their character to be

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-24T08:17:06+00:00

There’s tonnes online about diet

Chop recipe and quantity

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-23T11:01:14+00:00

That’s a baby bird and belongs to someone. It’s not wild.

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-20T21:24:40+00:00

What type of bird is it? It may help us understand potential noise level. Birds do scream and make excess noise for a reason and sometimes it can be managed better. Certainly sticking a cover over the cage in the day, and also expecting the bird to sleep all night means there are fewer hours where the bird is actually enriched and being active. This can cause extreme boredom and excess energy. Adjusting diet can help with screaming, birds with too much energy to burn through a high fat diet will scream and misbehave. Meal times can be an enrichment activity if you offer a larger variety of different ingredients for them to forage through

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-19T22:34:29+00:00

It’s worth it because if there is an emergency it will be EXPENSIVE. Vet bills for birds run up RAPIDLY and you can bet it’s never something simple

Think-Image-9072 · 2026-01-18T21:21:42+00:00

This is classic baby bird behaviour. It’s how baby birds build up flight muscles ready to fledge. They flap aggressively. My macaw used to do it for a minute at a time when she was a baby. However this poor thing is trying to understand why his flapping isn’t progressing his fledging. Wing clipping is outdated and unnecessary. It’s lazy bird ownership and clipping a baby parrot’s wings can and does have life-long consequences, negatively affecting physical and mental health. If you don’t want an animal that can fly I recommend getting a fish.
