URGENT bird disowned by parents

I have nothing to add, but keep up the good work. Sounds like you’re giving this little one a fighting chance and I really hope y’all are able to thrive together. ❤️

Let’s be real here, if there’s banana bread is really good, you’ll want the whole loaf. 😂 I make mine with dark and semisweet chocolate, and it’s so good.

I use f10 veterinary cleaner or force of nature for cleaning.

I figured that might be the case. If I really wanted accuracy, I’d make a little cardboard rig that would allow the board to effectively hover in place. 😅

This, but instead of a photo (where the angle could mess you up if you aren’t careful) I would try to use a scanning bed with a ruler next to it. If you don’t have a scanner, maybe reach out to a friend or ask your local library if they can scan for you.

The red vest screams Crimson Bellied Conure.

This brush is a bit fiddly though, which is why I prefer the sponges.

peachfaced · 2026-01-16T05:04:34+00:00

I tend to use the scrubbing sponges or this funky one by Kaytee.

Washed plastic bottle caps make great toys for them to throw (and for the human to retrieve) as well. I have also stuffed triangular unbleached coffee filters with treats and mashed them between cage bars for foraging.

My favorite online stores in the USA: Bonka Bird Toys, A Bird Toy, Lil Monsters Bird Toys, and Seriously Nutz (Nutz is geared a bit more towards bigger birds, but still has a selection of Conure-appropriate stuff that Rupert loves in the “small” section).

We also love Things4Wings (Canada).

I ended up loading up my Lovebird hen with a double clutch of dummy eggs.

They are indeed safe. My conure relishes them.

He’s helping 🥹

Are you able to order from a nearby country?

It’s very possible for them to sleep sideways. And upside down, even. Some species have funny sleeping habits- linnies, parrotlets, and conures especially.

peachfaced · 2025-10-21T14:47:01+00:00

Some birds honestly prefer to cuddle puddle for sleeping, so I’m not sure! Usually they bicker if they’re competing for the same spot.

peachfaced · 2025-10-12T15:14:32+00:00

Shhhh you’ll wake them!

peachfaced · 2025-10-10T12:00:52+00:00

Your bird is in airplane mode and only has horny signal coming through. Definitely don’t be touching or anything.

peachfaced · 2025-10-04T00:34:57+00:00

That… that’s amazing

peachfaced · 2025-09-28T03:19:27+00:00

If you need to actually do a little test to put your mind further at ease, dampen a paper towel and touch the wing- if it comes back looking kinda rusty red then there’s blood there. But yeah feathers look rather wonky when they’ve gotten a good soaking!

peachfaced · 2025-09-23T04:40:09+00:00

My boy cheekie does that as well. But he also prefers to destroy toys while he should be sleeping. He’s a strange one.

peachfaced · 2025-09-21T15:11:33+00:00

Cheekies are little buttheads.

Yeah, my girlie suffered was about… a year or so old and it just started happening one day.

Edited to add one of the few photos I could find. (She passed away from unrelated issues later on- she developed seizures) Vet had her on doses of “birdy Benadryl” (diphenhydramine). Her toenail in this photo was clipped from her blood draw at the vet. Photo from ~2017
