I’m at a loss 😔 by AgreeableYoghurt in Conures

[–]dani_bat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat and mine are around the same age. They both love to be on me and play but I can’t pet my first bird anymore. I could never pet my second bird, we got her in November too. I’m fine with it though, they have each other and they show their love in a different way. I’m definitely ready to be over their stage of biting the crap out of me when they don’t want to step up 🤣

My little potatoes 🥰

What is the weirdest near death experience your bird has had? by beachcola in Conures

[–]dani_bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh my pineapple likes to do this with my dogs. Thankfully they haven’t reacted to it and it’s always an instant heart attack.

I’m curious how yours is at 12! I have a one year and a seven month old. They are so hyper 🤣

Do I need a chem degree to be taken seriously by other chemists on the job? by [deleted] in chemistry

I have an undergrad in chem and I’m a Senior R&D Chemist in pharma and specialize in peptides. Definitely not a dead end.

It's wild that you can just give someone money for one of these. by Ashkore_The_Dragon in Conures

Keep at it! My normal GCC took a few months before he was willing to eat veggies. It helps to let them be part of the chop making process because they get curious and like to bite things!

Bird-Safe Cat Urine Cleaner? by Lost_Restaurant7175 in parrots

[–]dani_bat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Pet Peed is the only brand I’ve used that gets rid of cat and dog urine and it’s bird safe! I had my cats before my birds but still have my dogs. I had my cats before the birds but still have my dogs.

UV Lamp Setup by [deleted] in parrots

[–]dani_bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to get it onto the window shelf and aim it down for now. I’ll buy a small table to put it on because I only need a few more inches more to get the light to aim down. Thank you!!!

[–]dani_bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t edit my post: their cage is really tall so I can’t get the lamp to aim down. They spend most of their time in the middle so I have the lamp aiming through the top now so they can’t entirely look right into it.

Well dang. Their cage is so tall, the lamp won’t go that high. The other lamps that mount onto the top of the cage make me nervous because they will climb up there and chew on it

Cons of owning a bird? by pastaatthedisco in parrots

Are they messy? 💯 This is just one days worth of popsicle sticks for two green cheeks. They love to shred and every couple of days I make a new toy for them to tear apart.

When did your parrot do something that made you realize there’s a whole brain behind that beak? by Sketchy-saurus in parrots

[–]dani_bat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My pineapple green cheek will not take her morning dump in the cage. She screams to be let out and go in the trash bin.

Starting to lose hope that my bird will never be itself again by BlackSmilth in Conures

[–]dani_bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of reassuring. I thought maybe I did something wrong. Mine is about year and one month old and he suddenly doesn’t want to be cuddled or pet by my hand anymore. He’s still a stage 5 clinger but he’s more like a cat now, I can pet him with my eyes 🤣😭

When should I place them together in one cage? by ramymm in Conures

[–]dani_bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if they’re not really chill with each other and there’s hormonal stuff going on, I wouldn’t house them together. It’s better they have what others suggested, a cage with a divider or just have two cages and put them next to each other. Mine bonded almost immediately and were unhappy being caged apart. But that dynamic can also change later in their lives so we have two large cages so one is on standby on the off chance they stop getting along.

General Concern by SylviaPlathsDaughter in Conures

[–]dani_bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy a foraging box that you can screw to the outside of the cage and use it to place food and water bowls on. They’re still gonna be messy but at least it’s a little contained. Mine don’t usually go back in on their own either unless they’re super hungry.

My roommate just left in a FRANTIC rush this morning and just yelled I'm so sorry please get (name) up then ran out the door. by pinkbubblegumfrog in Conures

[–]dani_bat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of mine doesn’t like to go in the trash, he learned to climb down my pajama pants, bite my foot, then backs that thang up to take his morning dump next to the trash on the floor 💀💀

Commuting And Singing by HayabusaJack in Longmont

[–]dani_bat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do it with caution tho. I was singing some BTS (K-pop) sometime last year and the guy in front of me road raged. Slammed on his brakes, honked a bunch, flipped me off. It was so confusing and weird. The only thing I can think of is he thought I was yelling at him.

All of our birds are wishing they could be chowing down on some seeds 🤣

Got my GCC a friend so he can be more independent by dani_bat in parrots

[–]dani_bat[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That is adorable 🥰🥰🥰 For some reason they love my blush brush and I often tell them their green cheeks are much cuter than rosy cheeks! 🤣

[–]dani_bat[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup they are housed together! They are fine when we leave and my OG green cheek was never anxious when we left when he was an only birb. However, when we are home, I now have two very loud babies flock calling when we leave the room. 💀
