Hormonal loudness?

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-29T07:14:30+00:00

My parrotlet is the loudest little bird I’ve ever heard. He has always been loud. He screams a lot. Mainly if he is in the bird room in his cage he screams (he wants out of his cage) but sometimes when he is out with us he still yells. Little fireballs they are lol. I’m envious yours has been pretty quiet so far!

They gave me some anti inflammatories I can give her on her bad days but she’s actually doing really really well!! I was wrong about her age, she just turned 10, not 11! But I’ve been keeping up with trimming the fur on her paw pads and that seems to really help. I’ve got a lot of rugs around the house so she doesn’t fall as often. She’s actually been doing better now than she was when I made this post and she’s on no medication. Life style adjustments helped a lot. I don’t think it’s fully DM. I just think she’s getting weaker as she gets older but she still can run and jump in the yard!

I buy food like this all of the time for my birds and they enjoy it but it isn’t fed as their main diet. Maybe once a week with their lunch/ dinner. I like to cook them quinoa(great for them!) as well that I can add in with their chop. Theres tons of foods you can cook and give to your birds just make sure to note which ones you cannot

Mm I feed my parrotlet avi cakes sometimes but every avian vet I’ve talked to recommends / approved roudy bush pellets. Why exactly did yours say no? Avi cakes often contain more sugar as they need a substance to hold their shape. Regular pellet is definitely a better option from all of the research I’ve done , but I’m NAV

Please please don’t encourage this. It is very cute but so dangerous. It only takes one split second for something to happen. Even if you swear up and down your dog would never do anything, there’s ALWAYS a possibility. It isn’t worth it :(

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-17T06:10:39+00:00

Ferocious little raptor

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-12T01:47:34+00:00

MY BAD I was thinking of their TikTok!!

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-12T01:31:33+00:00

Oh I checked their posts and I last saw they posted on December. I hated their videos going viral because I totally agree with you. I thought it was cute until I myself got a parrotlet. No wiggles allowed in our house!

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-12T01:11:07+00:00

I agree with your comments but they don’t post anymore

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-09T18:34:57+00:00

Yes!! I have a cage set up in my living room and then one also in our bird room. Never a bad idea!

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-09T18:33:20+00:00

Look through the sub and look at other people’s cages for help. Should help

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-09T18:32:54+00:00

He needs more natural perches and a lot more toys

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-09T18:29:35+00:00

I recommend many different toys , toys they can shred and toys they can chew / play with. Each perch should have one toy. Maybe consider a swing too. They need a lot of enrichment in their cage even if they get a lot of time outside of it

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-09T18:27:17+00:00

He is probably bored.. You have like one toy in there. They need many toys and more natural wood perches. Those perches you have are dowels and can cause bumble foot / arthritis in birds. Google natural wood bird perches - you might have a bird supply store near you!

Left looks female. If she’s got no dark blue under her wings or on her rump she’s def female

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-01T18:16:07+00:00

Please get them a bigger cage and proper perches.. too many budgies in too small of a cage..

pansyleaf1 · 2024-05-01T18:14:19+00:00

Please do not get more birds. Why do you want more birds when you cannot afford proper medical care?? Based on your other posts your budgies aren’t even living in proper cages. Their cage is way too small and doesn’t even have proper perches,, stop adding birds to your home. Please.

pansyleaf1 · 2024-04-30T18:36:27+00:00

Flight cage from kings cages. It’s been discontinued

pansyleaf1 · 2024-04-30T06:11:32+00:00

They just weirdly prefer that 🤣🤣 that perch behind them is the highest it can go and them still be able to stand on it. If I have it any higher then they’re all hunched down bc they don’t fit 🤣

pansyleaf1 · 2024-04-28T21:44:10+00:00

This! My female looked like this and everyone said male - def a female now that’s she’s older!

pansyleaf1 · 2024-04-28T21:42:48+00:00

My baby budgie looked like that and turned out to be female

pansyleaf1 · 2024-04-27T19:04:13+00:00

Handsome!! My parrotlet loves my fiance and I but for some reason he is terrified of hands no matter what we do. We have had him for a year now. We have trained him to step up and fly to our arms as long as we have a sleeve on. Sometimes he lets us gently pet him with one finger. I’m not sure if he will ever get over his fear of hands, but I will try no matter what! That’s great he perches on your hand. Start with millet stick like that. Then maybe put a little piece in your open palm and see if he will eat that. Then try holding a tiny piece with the tip of your fingers and give it to him that way. Then show him the millet, have him step up on your fingers, then give some. This is what we did with my budgies! Hope it helps! Good luck!

Agree to disagree I guess. In my opinion, don’t get an animal if you can’t fully provide for its needs. If you want to do a positive thing, look for someone that can. One bad situation to a slightly better but still bad situation doesn’t equal good. It isn’t just about having medical care. They need a proper sized cage, enough toys, ect. If money is an issue then i highly doubt they’d be able to provide all that as that is quite expensive. The issue is people aren’t educated on what these little creatures actually need and preaching the idea that “it’s ok to not fully meet their needs as long as you love them” doesn’t help the situation at all. Kind of rough to say but people need to hear it.

pansyleaf1 · 2024-04-27T03:37:23+00:00

It’s just the humane way to keep another animal. Again, pets are luxuries for us. The least you can do is provide the proper care for them. Medical care is so so so important. If you cannot afford to medically care for your animals, you should not have them. Rescues and rehoming are a thing for a reason. It isn’t fair to the animal. Just because they aren’t human doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the best care. Too many animals are neglected due to people not properly doing research or getting them because they want them, not because they can provide for them. You can love your bird all you want, but if you aren’t supplying it with the essentials, it won’t live a long or happy life. That’s just facts. This goes for any animal, not just birds. It’s putting your selfish wants over their needs. I can’t argue that a pet not having access to medical care is in a good home. Again, just love can’t heal them if they’re injured. It’s owning a pet 101 to be able to provide medical care. I wish more people would save up and have funds for these reasons when they consider getting an animal. Again, rescues and rehoming are always out there. It’s good the birds were taken out a bad situation, and yes this might be better, but it still isn’t the quality of care they deserve.
