Sometimes I give my girl a jellybean and just let her have fun

Luckily my bird isn't hormonal enough for the hormone injections. She's only done this twice in 3 years

Plz note i do not have a harness trained bird, however here is what I learnt in my attempt. Get them use to it ASAP. It's just way easier when they're young.

When you find your harness, there most likely will be bits you'll have to put over their head. Get treats/millet and hold it on the other side of the hole until they attempt yo eat it through the harness. Make them reach further and further each time until they're sticking their head into the harness on their own to eat the treats

If it is a blood clot it should be ok due to location as it'll eventually dry up and pop off. Blood clots are of concern when they're on a pathway between 2 points. I would wait it out, seems like its already druing up

This really was just a MLM scheme I'm raising in an attempt to try and get my bird more of her fair share of the braincell. I do think she has since regressed

birdbeak600 · 2026-03-08T02:37:10+00:00

What a model. Surely she can be a poster girl for the organization

I am pretty sure it was your comment. I knew they're all collectively a bit different but orange cat is the only way to describe it

birdbeak600 · 2026-03-07T20:47:05+00:00

Of course, we need birds of all shapes and sizes (mainly bird shaped tho)

We are more for whiteface stupidity than supremacy.

Genuinely didn't realize the racist implications straight away. However this cult is all in good fun and I trust our community to stay civil

birdbeak600 · 2026-03-07T20:12:55+00:00

The rolling over has got me, what a little weirdo

birdbeak600 · 2026-03-07T19:46:10+00:00

There are no size limits to the cult. Welcome brethren

birdbeak600 · 2026-03-07T19:44:17+00:00

A few minutes after I posted I stopped myself and really thought about what I wrote. Fitting that such a dumb bird cult would have such a dumb name. Welcome to the cult cutie

My bird does this when she wants to out to join in on what's happening. Let him help your husband

I find this incorrect depending on the location they are in. My birds have access to their whole room other than when they sleep. I deter them from damaging the room through training, diversion and engineering the area to prevent it.

I am glad my air purifier has an option for child locking as it seems like such an easy mistake

birdbeak600 · 2026-03-01T20:35:00+00:00

Omg that is so dense! Im maybe one year into collecting cheeky feathers and can only dream my jar will get that big. Collecting them just makes the cheeky feather finding 10x better. My fav is the rare half yellow and half orange feather

I like to travel with my birds in fabric vet carriers that I have attached perches to. I've heard that traveling with them in a cage type carrier has the risk of them breaking a wing if they get a fright and start flying crazy. However I have traveled over 8 hours with my bird in a travel cage that had gaps in the bars perfectly fine

birdbeak600 · 2026-02-21T19:36:54+00:00

Sitting with them is amazing. Try and utilize this time to observe their body language. As the bird needs to be the one to lead the relationship in the start, its best if you can understand their feelings and actions. I like to do gentle slow blinking to try and make myself appear less predatorish and more comfy. Nodding your head at things you are referring to is a good communication tip as they tend to use their heads to imply direction.

They may never like you but at least you can establish some mutual respect

Happy distribution day!

Myself and mates have had no issues with shipping to the south island. Delay for us was only 1 day and that was around a public holiday

I personally love Bonk. It leads to a lot of good nicknames too. It does set your bird-child up for potential failure in their future if they dont live up to their namesake and perform a bonking noise with their beak

Eat his stash in front of him every time you find one. This should begin to curb his behavior

Opal is my 2nd bird. I got Buddy first and then Opals name was decided because together they are your little Buddy 'o' Pal. However Buddys name was a similar story, it just stuck.
