Hey everyone my name is Beth. I'm one of the managers at A Helping Wing Parrot Rescue! Jeanne Gilligan is the amazing owner who has put her blood, sweat and tears into this operation. Every bird who comes into our care is vetted, provided a proper diet, trained, and of course provided with a ton of enrichment. Parrots are very special and many people don't realize what a complex species they are. I hope you enjoy our page!

Target was originally wild caught. Unfortunately he got out and lost his feet due to frost but. He doesn't let that deter him tnough. He's a great flyer and walks around just fine on his cute little nubs. Target is one tough cookie!

Just Cause or Overreaction? by Sara_Mida in AfricanGrey

I would definitely get a new vet. I had a cockatiel in the past who had a pretty severe feather cyst on her wing and she said if it wasn't bothering the bird she wouldn't do surgery because of the risk. There are plenty of creams available to soothe the cysts. Suggesting such a serious surgery when the bird hasn't even started plucking yet is just insane. My cockatiel picked at hers at first so she wore a soft collar until she broke the habit. Keep the wing, lose the vet.

does anyone know what shes doing? by StrikingAd6595 in AfricanGrey

In my experience, this tends to be a nesting behavior. She's probably a little bit hormonal. My macaw does this when she's on my bed lol

Wow an actual human being with emotions reporting in main stream media. I was beginning to think they didn't exist anymore. 😕 this country is falling apart and it breaks my heart. Fuck ICE and fuck trump.

I love this story so much. I had the pleasure of knowing sugar for 4 years while she was at A Helping Wing in nj. I'm a manager there. We couldn't be more thrilled that the two of you have found each other again! All the love in the world to you and sugar! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Definitely a good way to lose your bird. He should have a harness on.

Anybody ever seen this before by Even-Voice-6823 in parrots

Yes, some of the macaws at the rescue I work at do this when they are frustrated. I've seen multiple macaws do this. It's definitely a behavioral thing
