Hyacinths Go Clubing

Parrotz — Sun, 12 May 2013 17:55:21 GMT

Sometimes really great things happen by themselves. We had a club meeting today and two Hyacinth Macaws made an appearance.

Ziggy, seen above is a somewhat regular visitor to our club. A little over 4 1/2 years old, this little boy is all about a goodtime. But, today he had a little competition for the eyes of the gawkers.

Frank a 10 month old Hyacinth Macaw made an appearance. He had the most amazing effect on Ziggy. The older Ziggy settled down and went on his best behavior.

Both Frank (on the arm) and Ziggy (on the shoulder) went to everyone and played nice.

Ziggy's owner Cheryl was tickled to have things go her way for once with Ziggy.

There were kisses for everyone too.

Ziggy kept his eye on the little guy and took his cues from Frank. But, Frank was the luckier of the two. Frank got to have lunch after the club meeting at Tiajuana Flats Burito Company.

Neat Parrot Pictures

Parrotz — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:33:11 GMT

I've found out in my time working with parrots that if you hangout with other parrot people some neat things happen and opportunities arise.

This Black Palm Cockatoo is named Darth Vador. His roommate is a Hyacinth Macaw. The owner is a little afraid of both.

This is my friend Ziggy, a Hyacinth Macaw, playing on one of the biggest playstands I've ever seen. Ziggy actually looks small on this thing.

This is Ziggy and his mom, Cheryl, having a tender moment. He'll shift back into little boy mode in a few minutes.

This is Merlin at Sonny's BBQ. He's letting me feed him some baked sweet potato. That's my hand in the picture. What you can't see is Picasso on my shoulder going nuts over this. Merlin is the B&G with the personality that everyone wishes their macaw had.

This is Zeus and I having some fun at a club event. I love it when he showsoff his wings.

This is my girl Shammy having lunch with us today. Shammy and Cheryl have unresolved issues between them that Shammy hasn't forgotten.

This is Jester and Jeff from Parrots As Pets Rescue. Taking Jester to lunch with me was part of his socialization training.

I know that this is an odd mix of pictures, but, most of these birds are rare or extremely endangered. I just enjoy sharing.

New foster Charlie the Amazon

Willie-Rey — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 05:08:23 GMT

This is Charlie, he is staying with me until we find him a new forever home. I am shocked no one has come to adopt him yet. He is so sweet and friendly.

Welcome to the IBN

Che Gilson — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:49:49 GMT

Well, instead of cluttering the picture forum with with many updates on Igor I thought I would make one post and just continually update it!

I took Igor to the vet again for a follow up and he is still on the trimeth-sulfate whatever, his foot is doing MUCH better! Both his feet are the same size again!! And I bought a natural spectrum light bulb from the vet, just until I can afford the whole sunlamp. He is pretty much converted to Harrison's and the sweet potato worked like a charm- he really likes that. The vet also said to moisten the Harrison's with a little grape juice so I now have Organic Concord Grape juice for him as a treat as well. He is doing so well today! He has chirped more today than he has in two weeks!

The vet also wants weekly pictures of him and I'm happy to oblige.

Here he is under the new sunlight light bulb.

Peatree Sleeping

WeasleyLover — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:26:57 GMT

This is how Pea sleeps. She shoves herself between her favorite toy and her fleece. It's so adorable!

Peatree at the Park

WeasleyLover — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:53:26 GMT

I took Peatree to the park on Saturday for some fresh air. I think she enjoyed herself. She was happy to just sit with me on the bench.

As soon as we got there, a little girl, she was 5 or 6, came and sat by us and started asking me a whole bunch of questions. I love telling people about my birds, so I was happy to answer all of her questions. Peatree even let her stroke her back. She sat with us until we left.

I love how surprised people get when the see a bird on a leash. They think it's so crazy that you can take a parrot out of the house. :P

Conure Bird Hair loss in neck region, also hair in hard clumps, what is it?

MuaythaiConure — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:54:56 GMT

My bird is a 6 yr plus old Conure bird. He/she is getting thick clumps of hair in the neck area and losing hair in the neck area. We feed him Hartz: bonanza parrot diet. We use to have a little fly problm in his cage for a while but they died down. Please let me know what to do.

Pinnies

WeasleyLover — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:18:03 GMT

Look at all these pin feathers my baby has! I have some work to do.

Pretty Peatree

WeasleyLover — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:06:11 GMT

Warning: You are about to be spammed with many pictures of a adorable pineapple green cheek conure. These photos may be too cute, viewer discretion is advised.

(I have discovered the the camera I got for Christmas takes amazing close up pictures, and I am now addicted to taking close up pictures of my Peatree)

"MMmm, this is yummy!"

Peatree's favorite treat.

"Hmm, what is this pink thing mommy is shoving in my face?"

Pretty feathers!

"Hello!"

"Whatcha' looking at?"

"Do you think I'm cute?"

Soulful eyes.

Chicken legs!

"I am looking away. Please! No more pictures!"

"I love my toy!"

Okay, I think I'm done now.

Just Bragging!!!

Parrotz — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 07:46:02 GMT

This little bird is so sweet. In his entire six weeks here, Jester has not screamed once.

But, he has chewed through three perches. I will miss him when he goes. However, I am so very proud of Jester and all the progress that he's made here. Feathers are returning and trust is growing.

Lovebird Cuteness

zvezdast — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:22:18 GMT

Ficho, a Fischer's lovebird, turned 1 year old one month ago.

He is such an active bird! He is always exploring, flying in differentroomsto check out the mirrors, making up his own games, and sometimes calling us to play with him. Even in his cage he is constantlyclimbingall over like a monkey. And he is quite a talker! He doesn't say any human words, but he sure does have a lot to say. He can do several tricks, will fly over to my hand when called (when he wants to), uses the pooping station first thing out of the cage, andabsolutelyloves headscreeches.

He is a keeper!

Here are a few of his recent photos.

Curious about the outdoors.

Uploading Photos

MariaLovesBirds — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 05:33:30 GMT

The button to upload photos does not work on my laptop at home, but works on my computer at work. My laptop uses Internet Explorer 10.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? When I click on the button, nothing happens at all.

Thank you!

Valentine Photo Shoot!

WeasleyLover — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:52:24 GMT

Today I had a Valentine photo shoot with Peatree. I was trying to get a good picture for a Valentines Day photo contest. I took waaaay too many pictures, as I always do.:P

We had some fun. I bribed her with treats. I got some okay pictures the first time, but my flash wouldn't go off in my room...

This is my favorite "bad lighting" picture. I would have so used it if the lighting was better.

Kinda okay lighting.

This was the only picture that the flash went off for.

I wasn't really a fan of her pose in this one.

After looking through all the pictures, I decided to do a second shoot, because I wasn't really happy with the first batch of pics.

I tried turning off my lamp, and then the flash went off! :D So the light stayed off! By now, Peatree was sick of posing, and not listening. So, me and my sister sang her "Go Peatree" song, and she started dancing. I just started snapping pics, and got plenty of good ones.

After we finished, Pea got rewarded!

We entered this picture in the contest.(:

I'm new! Pix of my flock!

Christmas Pictures

WeasleyLover — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 13:27:22 GMT

I took some pictures of Peatree earlier.
Please ignore the mess! She enjoyed playing with all the wrapping paper.:P

You can see most of her presents here.

This is her favorite present. She was trying to eat it through the package.

She didn't like standing on the tree.

But she did put her foot down long enough for me to get a few good shots.

Napping on my knee. <3

Peatree was very spoiled. She got 10 presents.

New baby GCC "Yazhi"

BlueMacawLover — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:23:06 GMT

Here's the new addition to our ever growing fid family. I saw her at a nearby pet shop and fell in love with her. She was the only bird there and had only sunflower seeds and poop in her water. They told me that she was flighty because she was new. Well, she wasn't and isn't "flighty" at all. She is super playful, silly (and bratty). Anyway, I had to bring her home. Hubby wasn't happy at first, but she immediately took to him, so he has to "try" to pretend he is not happy. BUT...Every time I leave the room I hear him talking to her and playing with her.

Oh...She was hatched on March 18th.

How-To Post Photos

Monica — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 01:50:05 GMT

This should make it easy for everyone who would like to post a photo but doesn't know how.... there are two 'how tos', one I snagged from a post by Peppers Pa... together, they should be able to make it easy for anyone to post photos!

Here’s the procedure for loading images:

1) Be sure you are logged on to the forum.
2) There are two main ways to insert an image:
A) Upload an image from your computer
B) Identify (direct link) where the image is located on the Internet.

A) If you plan to upload an image from your computer:
3) Either start a thread or reply to a post.
4) In the window that opens, click on the Insert Image box (the small box with an image of mountains and a sun in it right above where you type).
5) When prompted, select the image file from your computer (browse). The URL must be located inside the code as in this example: (img)http://www.birdchannel.com/macaw.jpg(/img).

B) If you plan to use an image located on a web server:
3) Either start a thread or reply to a post.
4) In the window that opens, click on the IFCode Shortcuts for an image, (img)(/img).
5) Copy (highlight then "Ctrl + C"), Type or paste ("Ctrl + V") the URL Address for the image. The URL must be located inside the code as in this example: (img)http://www.birdchannel.com/macaw.jpg(/img).

6) When completed with the post, click either the “Post New Topic” box or the “Post Reply” box
Be aware that every browser may not be compatible with every button or option available on our web site.

If you have the file uploaded to the internet, you can highlight the picture (i.e. click to the side othe picture, then scroll over the picture till it turns blue), Copy (either right click and "Copy" or pess "Ctrl + C), then go into a post and then Paste (right click and down to "Paste" or press "Ctrl + V").

Or, you can upload a picture into a post, via clicking on a little button above the post that looks like two mountains and a sun. This will allow you to either upload a picture from your computer (you must know where the file is on your computer in order to upload it), or one from another sight, as long as you have the URL of the photo... If you need to get the URL of a photo, right click on the photo, and go down to "Properties". Once there, highlight the "Address" or "Url", Copy it, then Paste into the bar where it says to "Link to Image". For reference, view these two photos...

Baby Kalea...All weaned, but still upside-down:)

BlueMacawLover — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 09:53:47 GMT

She's about 9 weeks now and leaning to fly to me. Getting her trained in her harness so that we can go places. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

My new Grey baby <3

BlueMacawLover — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:10:40 GMT

Hi everybody! This is Angel and she is about 4 months and is my newest family member. I had forgotten how wonderful Greys were, but was reminded by a FB friend who passed recently. Watching the videos of him made me want to have another. My very first bird ever (who was stolen) was a Grey and I named the new girl after her.

New flock member...its official!

Petrezqr — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:15:42 GMT

I hinted at this in a separate post, but now it's official. I can't believe that I have worked with so many wonderful birds over the years and successfully found them homes, but this one little creature just worked into my heart and I am officially adding one more to my flock. The funny part is that up until now my greatest concern was that the previous owner had told us that she had the bird DNA tested and it was female. I was so concerned about adding a female bird to my happy and well adjusted bachelor flock that I was really struggling with how I would manage that.

Well, because I'm careful and wanted to be sure the bird was healthy prior to introduction, I had taken "her" to my own vet for tests to be run and decided to have my vet run a DNA test as well, just to have it on record. Vet called today - IT'S A BOY!!! I had a funny feeling that the previous owner was not exactly honest about having been to the vet, because she could not provide me with a vet name to contact for records. Anyway, welcome to my new little BOY....who's name was Skye, but we're now thinking of a new name for him. Something festive for the holidays perhaps, maybe Jolly or Frosty....or Kringle.

Male or Female

skybluephilmore — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 11:14:11 GMT

Hi everyone, I was looking at my new Budgie Sapphire, and noticed that her cere was turning blue. I was wondering if Sapphire is a female or is she really a male? Sapphire's cere has blue and some pink in it. I tied getting a picture of here cere, and they may not be good ones.

Kalea

Kalea is pretty much all grown up, although she still cries for feedings sometimes. She is so playful, sweet and quite the cuddler. She is super brave and will hang upside-down from anything and swing and play.

Peatree & Dudley

WeasleyLover — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:54:25 GMT

Why is Peatree letting Dudley sit there?
My Pea would never let a budgie sit next to her, she hates budgies!

Not only is she letting Dudley sit next to her, but she is preening him too! She also keeps bowing her head really low to try and get him to preen her. So sweet! <3
