Hey!

tempest413 — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 10:24:11 GMT

Hi, I'm tempest!

I'm new to Birdchannel, and I decided to start using it because I think I will need the sage advice of seasoned bird owners.

A little background on me... I'm a horseback rider (hunter jumping), I live in south FL, I have a mini schnauzer named Petisa, and I like to write and hang out with my friends. As far as birds go, I got Tweety Bird (a bright yellow budgie) when I was 8 years old after tons of research and begging. Unfortunately, he had respiratory issues and passed away two years ago, poor thing.

I looked into adopting a cockatiel for awhile, but my parents and I decided it wasn't a good time for the family. I kept praying for an opportunity to come up where I could get another bird- I missed everything about it: the noise, the mess, the bandaids- it's just glorious! Still, a year passed and I gave up on it.

And what do you know, just when I thought all was lost, my mom's good friend inherited a pair of cockatiels from her friend who was moving away. She said she was originally going to sell them for $100 apiece, but she would make an exception for me.

Long story short, it has all been working out really well! My mom and dad both think it's a great arrangement, and I'm going to visit them on monday to see if I like them.

It goes without saying, I will have tons of questions; This being my first time #1 owning a cockatiel, #2 owning two cockatiels, and #3 keeping birds outdoors. I'll need all the advice I can get!

Looking fwd to getting to know you all and your flocks!

Been away....

"haven't seen ya in a while, how you been?"

Haven't really been on here to amount to anything for a long time. I don't know if everyone knows this, but my little "man" Babycakes turned out to be a female! She had 2 cluthes of infertile [as she has no mate] eggs this spring and summer. Was a total nut case [the bird, not me] during the first session. Beeped every 3 minutes when I was home, almost like she was going "oh boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" the entire 28 days I let her sit on the eggs.

I had to flee the house at times, I felt like I wanted to go "oh boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" myself during this trying ordeal. The second clutch, only 2 eggs [3 the first time] was not so bad, she was more mellow about it, but still very protective. Have you ever heard a caique snarl? You don't want to!

So here I am again, though sometimes I simply lurk. I haven't really had a lot to say lately.

New mommy to quaker

char — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:39:41 GMT

I just got a 12 week pld quaker yesterday.He was a gift to someone else,her son is artistic and immediatly found out when the bird got vocal he went to shaking and stiffing.

Today I spent a little time with 'up" after a few try he did it,got off played around,got 'up" again.Did this about 6-8 times. Will do more tomorrow.

Couple qestions wouldn't it be better to completly do this on request before letting him out of cage

Is it good to have mirrow in cage to talk to

I had a conquer for several years,was faily old when I got him,he was a real sweetheart and ohhhhhh so full of silly perts.So miss him.

getting to know you

ickybird — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 06:03:42 GMT

I enjoy the introductions people make on their first posts. We get to learn many things about them and their birds.
but after a few days, with so many people coming and going, it is hard to remember if this QP person has the picky eater, or is it the one who has 10 other birds?
So I go to the profiles to check out any info I can find to jog my memory or to give me more incite into this person. And then I see a long line of "No information". POOP!
Please write things about yourself in your profile. We don't need age and such but your interests, history with birds, activities will help us be able to get to know one another better.
Thanks.

I'm the proud new owner of a Sun Conure named Maddie (Short for Madelyn). We have had her for about 3 weeks now and she's definitely a character. Once I get my camera working I'll post up some pics. She is a year old and is a bit nippy, but very intelligent and loving (when she wants to be! LOL). Any advice, hints or ideas for games we could play with her would be much appreciated.

Hello from Lincoln, Nebraska! My name is Jenni. I have a menagerie including 3 cats (Luke, Squeak, and Blinkin); 10 active fish tanks; 11 society finches (Sid, Billy, Bailey, Tawny, BB, Oliver, Twist, Mooney, Spicy, Andy, and Quinny); 5 zebra finches (Donovan, Juniper, Gabby, Jamaica, and Jane); 1 Congo African grey named Scout; 1 yellow sided green cheek conure named Dizzy. All of these guys keep me on my toes unless Blinkin (about 12 weeks old) trips me, then I'm off my toes . I love reading through this site and learning new info to help me be a better parrot parent.

Dave&Bob — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:08:04 GMT

Hi everyone,

My name is Dave and I have a Galah by the name of Bob. I have had him for about 6 years now, he was found by my cat not long before he died and has lived with us and is a part of our family.

Bob was dumped with his wings clipped heavily just before Christmas and wandered into our front yard. Ther was a Christmas concert across the road and he started dancing to the music so we figured he was hand raised. We caught him and took him to our vet and he was advertised for a few days as missing but no-one came to collect him. So off I went to buy a cage on Chrissy eve and $500.00 later he had a home and a new family.

Here is a pic of Bob, he is so cute!!!

Hello from B.C., Canada

Rosedale — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 21:48:06 GMT

I am new here so would like to introduce myself. I have two rescue Amazons, a DYH and a Blue Front. I also have a Cherry Head Conure, who also came from the same rescue. I have two Boxer dogs, you guessed it, also from a rescue. I am 61 and my husband and I were farmers for many years raising purebred cattle. I am reading everything I can about parrots and trying very hard to turn around the unfortunate life of my Amazons. My Conure on the other hand is a love bug and seems to have come through the rescue situation without problems. You will likely see many postings from me as I reach out to more experienced owners in an attempt to create a happy home for my parrots.

Marley and me

hollis — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 10:16:32 GMT

im hollis, marley is my severe macaw.

i'm a new mom. she is 8 weeks old and doing great. after coming here about a couple lovebirds and a dove that i ended up with, i am sure to get flack for her age and not being fully weined but i didnt know what i know now when i got her... *waiving the white flag* apparently things are done differently here in texas..or the part i live in anyway. i have come to realize their are many irresponsible people out there who are just out to make a buck.

on the lighter side of things, marley is beautiful inside and out. she is very very sweet and loving. as i type this post, she is laying on her back in my lap with her feet relaxed, sleeping. she wants to cuddle for hours on end. she sleeps a lot more than i thought she would. normal? she eats formula twice a day, and snacks on pellets, fruit and veggies throughout the day. for the most part, she is with me or my husband during the day and only goes in her cage at night to sleep. we have plenty of toys although she really has more interest in us and cuddling than in anything else. normal? she is not a loud bird as i have read most are...she is for the most part quiet, she will make short small 'parrot noises' ...'rawk'... lol is what is sounds like. when she is sitting in my lap she will make a little noise and bump me with her wing like 'hey pay attention to me' when i pet her, she will raise all the feathers on her head and lean into it like she is saying 'ahhhh yeah'

one thing is im thinking that she is still learning how to do everything cause she tries to hold stuff in her foot to chew on it but its like her motor skills are fine tuned yet.... and water, she doesnt drink it. it scares me. why doesnt she drink? do i need to teach her? how?

for the seasoned bird parents here, i know all my questions and ignorance must be frustrating and you have probably answered all this a million times before...but i would appreciate your shared experiences.

thank you much...

i look forward to getting to know everyone. :)

parakeet_girl — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 16:59:16 GMT

I'm new here! I'm Amanda and I'm from FL! I don't have any birds yet, but I want to get a budgie REALLY bad. I currently had two guinea pigs, a fish tank (with a fish and a bunch of snails all named Gary), a cat, and a dog. I am very excited to be on Bird Channel, because I really want to learn more about budgies before I actually get one. I think they are just the cutest little joyful birds ever! They have the cutest little tweets! I have loved birds ever since I was little. When my mom took me to Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida when I was little, I would get upset when the lorikeets in the lory area wouldn't sit on my shoulder. When my mom took me to Discovery Cove for my 12th birthday, though, birds were landing all over me, and I LOVED it! Now, my neighbor has a cockatiel that it seems no one can hold. She let me try to hold it one day, and it behaved like an angel. Our neighbor was shocked. When the bird flew on the curtains (the telephone had rang) I quickly picked her up and began comforting the little bird. My mom told my neighbor that I was "a natural" with birds. This is why I want another bird. I can't go a long time without having a bird in my home. They just seem to bring my house to life.

Housewives, err birds, of Dallas, Texas!

yakkwak — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:50:35 GMT

Hi Ya'all I am proudly owned by a 12 month old Catalina macaw named Lola who loves attention-seek by doing acrobatics like hanging upside on alternate legs and doing the Iron Cross between two hanging ropes, etc. until I display the appropriate admiration, and a newly acquired 'pocket parrot', a 6 month old male Green Rump parrotlet that I've yet to name who loves to sleep hanging upside down.

Looks like there's a lot of wonderful wisdom here. If anyone has a suggestion on where to find a classy looking hanging cage and floor stand for the parrotlet to put near a big window for "watch the BlueJays time", I'd love to hear it.

Tune in again next week for the first episode of HouseBirds of Dallas, TX!

Glad to meet you !

stacey101 — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:52:42 GMT

Hi , my names Stacey and Im from Newfoundland, Canada. Im a total animal freak as im sure most if not all of you are too. I'v owned 5 parrots in my life heres the run down...

Mumble - My first bird ever. He was a GF2 cobalt and my best friend who would never bite if his life depended on it. I learnt alot for him in his 3 years , we did everything together. Sadly a miss dignosed tumor that was bigger then his head took his life on December 13 2009 . He had a stroke in my hands and died there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kqBZGlFrBs

Mimzy - My second budgie. She was purcased with Mumble for my sister , my sister lost interest in her FAST and she was given to me a month later :) Mimzy is a Lime Green Cinnimon hen and the age of 3 :) she is socially awkward when there is more then 2 budgies in the cage. Shes abit of a lonar. So hopefully getting another male in the future.

Iris - an abused lovie I took in and taught her how to love again and now she is with her adoptive home

Chibi-Chibi : Oh , what on earth do I say about this clown ? he is a 1 1/2 old and a YF2 Skyblue recessive pied. Chibi-Chibi was Mumbles best friend and hasnt been the same without him. He placed in the top 3 on TBNTM ( talk budgies next top model ) on Talk Budgies. He is amazing

Piplup - my newest hen. She is only 6 months old and amazing. She preens my eye brows and Bang and totally loves giving kisses. She is a Skyblue spangle.

I also own a Shih-Tzu named Koda :)
I breed 32 types of fish , so if anyone needs fish help I'll be glad to help.

I tried to add pictures but it wouldnt let me , sorry ! I know how great an intro is with pictures.

hello everyone I'm new to the forum, I'm Tara and the proud mom to Luna, a very sweet umbrella cockatoo. She joined our family 3 yrs ago. I've tried to add her pic but it was so huge that I just gave up. I hope its ok to ask a question here...we live in the panhandle and sadly the oil will be here tomorrow. In the places that have already been affected by the oil spill, people are getting sick from breathing all that. What can I do to protect Luna, we live right by the water! Of course she won't be going on any outings any time soon, but I feel like I should be doing more for her....Any input would be great thanks. sorry for such a long intro...

Nice to meet you all! PennySue & Darla

Hello from me and Kaspyr

lovieexcentric — Sat, 22 May 2010 14:15:17 GMT

I have a peach-faced lovebird named Kaspyr. I got him from a breeder in Edmonton about eight months ago and I LOVE HIM!! He is so cute and funny. I got him almost as soon as he was old enough to leave. At first I wondered why i wanted a bird (he is the first bird I got) because of all the work involved but now I wonder how I ever could have wondered that and want to get more birds!!

Love My Lovie!!

Hello folks!

Cygerstorm — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:38:53 GMT

Hi. My names Nick, I'm a 24 year old in Sedona Arizona.

I've owned birds off and on since early childhood, mostly parakeets and cockatiels. Last month I adopted a 3 month old Parrotlet female (pictures once my camera is charged!), and named her Ada Lovelace. I'm still somewhat new to parrots.

The breeder who sold her to me contacted me a few days ago. Seems she acquired a baby Blue Indian ringneck from someone who was moving and she needs a home for it due to overcrowding in her aviary. After meeting the bird yesterday (cutest little thing I have ever seen, like the lovechild of a parrot and a tribble), I have agreed to adopt it from her (and she's selling me a cage and all the equipment for $60. Not a bad offer).

So I figured it was time to join these forums, since reading your stuff has been quite helpful.

My Russian Borzoid Wolfhound, Monty!

My Alien Pirate-Eyed Pug, Goomba!

And the Lady of the Hour, lil' Ada Lovelace!

Just to note: Ada started her first molting a few days ago. She's in excellent health, I swear! >.>

Hello from me and Yoda

Joe_ Omaha — Sun, 02 May 2010 20:44:57 GMT

Hello all

I'm the proud care giver of a 9 mo old male YNA named Yoda. It's been 1 week since he's arrived and I couldn't be happier. After a few day's of not eating, learning his mood swings (trying to figure out why) and trying to find what he likes and what he needs to eat. I'm feeling pretty good that everything will work out fine with my new buddy.

I'll be hanging around watching and I'll probably be asking some questions.

Keep up all you do for us and Thanks

Joe

HI There!!

SunConure — Sat, 01 May 2010 12:54:41 GMT

Hi my name is Anna, I like the name Sun though. So anyways, I have 8 birds. I have four cockatiels, 3 females and a male. 2 sun conures, male and female, and two button quails, male and female.

((When they say I Just Hatched, they mean I'm so expert at loving birds!))

Cockatiels have always been the bird deep inside my heart. As a youngster, I've ALWAYS wanted a dog. I would nearly kill myself for one. when I got my first cockatiel Coco, he became the key to my heart. Coco was a grey male. He was about 2 years old, he was handsome. And I am a Justin Beiber Hater. But I always thought that instead of girls dying to see Justin go, I thought girls would die because Coco goes! Coco is 10x the hot of Justin Beiber! XD. Sadly, 2 years ago, Coco had died because a raccoon came and got him. I have not forgiven raccoons since then, I use to be a raccoon hater, but just that one stupid thing they did made me hate them forever, and there is nothing wrong about that. If you are an adult. Show me you are. Understand how I feel too, I'm not the only one who hates raccoons!!! I pray that cockatiels will be filled in my life in the future, do so, I'm doing great in school as a straight A student. I have high hopes for cockatiels, and will do anything to protect them. I love them soo much!!

I was GOING to join the kids thing. But there are kids in that place! I'm not being mean or being rude, I don't like kids. Mainly because they act so differntly than I do. My childhood was VERY short. However, too short, that if I'm watching a movie, I don't "whoo" when people kiss. I don't make fun of anyone or anything because of their appearence. I began talking with big words when I was 6. Having since then, have I've been very serious about my education. During recess hours, I spend my time writing. Those times have come and gone, when I moved into middle school, I EXPECTED the kids be matured already. But they havn't and it is something I have to deal with till I go to colledge or whenever it takes for kids to mature. And now, kids are having girl friends and boy friends, and dating and KISSING!!! Nasty! I even have a friend like that, and I feel that I'm not going to be her friend much longer if she says she's gonna kiss someone she likes. Literally, what is wrong with kids now-a-days? Of course, I find many of my friends watching perverted videos, I turn my head away and leave. I've been pretty lonely since then, that's how birds have been in my heart. It is like animals are the only ones with common sense as a child. :). I treat my birds like my very own kids. Here's the thing, kids are never okay with animals what bite. I'm not, I'm not afraid of my birds biting off my skin and making me bleed harshly. My parents are always getting on to me that I should re-home my birds. It's not like HUMANS rehome their children because they mis-behave. I feel animals should have that same respect. I don't cuss in real life, so I'm a really nice person, however, if you mess with me, I will bite you stronger than a macaw can. XD. I feel that I am OKAY to join this website. Because I don't get grossed out, or get freaked out. It's just the way nature made it.

"Uhhh...poop on my shoulder? Really? Omigawd, I'm not so suprised.... at least it's my child's poop and not yours!" ~Anna

"If you are complaining about the feathers or fur on the couch then get off of it, it's called fur-niture, and plus, my birds/pets live here. You don't." ~Anna

"I really don't CARE if you cuss out my birds because they did something that you thought was wrong. Keep in mind they can curse you better than you can. Ooh! Is that another poop on your shoulder?" ~Anna

"Hurt my birds, and get in jail or something. The phone is right over there..." ~Anna

The following quotes above are what I said to visitors who visited our house and complained about stupid things. Hey, I'm like an adult, I'm not afraid to.

IF YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW YOU, THAT I AM A LIKE-ADULT, YOU'LL SEE

So don't tell me to leave, if you kick me out of here, fine then. I'm not gonna hang out with KIDS. Perhaps.........I could.... >:) but don't EXPECT me to get along with THEM. They probably don't even know what I'm talking about LOL.

I found this website off of Popular Bird Series Cockatiels.

I was reading the whole magazine, saw the ad, and joined. :)

I also type fast. So yeah, it took me about 20 minutes to write this.

Hi everyone

Marie123 — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 12:24:31 GMT

Hi everyone, Chirpy and I just want to say hi.

Chirpy is a 6 or 7 year old female Cockatiel and I've been her mommy since May of 2009.

I got her from a friend whose sister passed away ( the Chirpy belonged to the sister ) and nobody else wanted to take care of her so they gave her to me.

I am really happy to have her.

She is soooo cute and pretty and she does cute little things like put her head under her bells ( bells are her favorite toy ).

I love her soooo much.

YoungC — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:49:47 GMT

Hello, I am new to this board and a new owner of DYHA. I purchased him yesturday and he is approximately 8 yrs old. Breeder said he is not that tamed but he seems to be doing well on his first day. He steps up and down but every so often he does the motion like he is going to fly off. I read that when bird does that it's a defensive/attack mode?. I think that is what the bird is doing because he is nervous?. I will try to attach the photo so please if someone can tell what the bird is doing I would appreciated. I also heard the bird typically start talking when they are comfortable with the owner. My bird only squaks often but no other sound, how long does it generally take before the bird start making other noises?.

Hopefully the picture attached,

Thanks,

Young

Hello All

Dawnielle — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:53:57 GMT

Hi everyone,
My flock consists of two rescue birds. I have a Patagonian Conure that I have promised to be her last home. She is in her 30s I've been told quite a range of ages for her. She has lived through a fire with no health problems. She has been from home to home since she was little from what I've learned of her past. She is scared of the dark but we have worked that out with a bedtime routine.
My other bird is a lovebird. I'm not sure what kind as I've never seen one like her. She was found outside about 2 years ago under attack by crows. She is missing all but one toe on her right foot. It doesn't seem to bother her at all. She is a plucker/self mutilater, but our vet is helping us. She is wearing a cone for the time being but has let all of her feathers grow back. Yay!
Being rescues hasn't stopped either of them from bonding with me and my boyfriend. They know they are loved.

Greetings from a new flock

Auntisocial — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:00:02 GMT

Greetings!

My husband and I recently joined your boards. We've been waiting to post until we got our newest flock member home.

After lots of research and weeks of visiting "Bandit" (Goffin's Cockatoo) we brought him home to meet the rest of the flock this past Thursday. We also have two cockatiels ("Peanut" and "Tango"). I'll have to get a sig made with some pics in it.

YouTube is not a fan of my HD video I put up so I'll try a couple pics instead.

Bandit:

Peanut:

Tango:

We're looking forward to meeting all of you!

MasResik — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:31:09 GMT

After a few days thought we would introducs ourselves. My name is Sam and i have a new feathered friend named Winter that just moved in with me and my wife.

He is a little parakeet with a cute blue body and stripy topped head. He is a bit shy still but has started to accept me cleaning out his cage and changing his food bowl.

Doesn't act as skittery now when I place my hand gentely along side the cage. I'm going to start offering him his spray of millot from my hand and hope in a few days he'll get the nerve up to peck at it from his ladder perch he seems to sit from.

So good morning y'all
