Sorry for the late post, but we're back in business! The eggs have been removed, and Stella is doing well! I decided to get back into the habit of handfeeding her to get her over her fear of hands, and she seems to be really trusting with me!

Oh, and some of the problematic family members were visiting yesterday, so I took the opportunity to try to teach them proper etiquette with her, reminding them that when she starts flapping her wings and beating on her toys, she's upset and would like them to step away.

I also stuffed another cottonwood ball and set it on the open door of her cage to encourage her to venture out more. What else am I doing that I can improve on?

That’s how it gets dirty so fast. And how the food gets all over the floor. Such gooberism.

Funny How to stop sneezing

Not allergic or anything. Whenever I sneeze he gets scared and will often try to fly and strand himself on my floor. I would like to eliminate all sneezing to end these transgressions against him. Has anyone found a way to stop sneezing?

Advice Tips please for eating

Upvotes

Had my girl for 4 years and first time I’ve had the issue, just got back from a 2 week holiday (friend looked after in my home) and for 2 weeks prior to that she was at my sisters whilst I did some decorating.

Neither mentioned lack of eating and when I came home could see pellet dust so looked like she had.

However she’s not eating any pellets the past few days nor veg that I’ve offered her. Feel she’s upset with me leaving her for so long! Have gave in and gave her some seeds as I’d rather she eat.. how can I get her diet back on track rather than her retaliating and starving herself

Otherwise I think she’s normal, attachment issues back to normal with her

Tax attached

Cage Setup Needing ideas for the new set up

Post image
Upvotes

Ignore his current set up as it was cleaned yesterday and set up for sleep only.

Near 20 all need varied wood branches come! Grape, birch, apple and coconut wood to replace his perches (something I have been wanting to do for the longest but Ive been able to finally do 🎉🎉)

along with 8 new all woods varied toys so I can get rid of the bits and bobs with bells, unnatural colors and fiber strings. (I know I have some in frame but they are being rid off 🎉🫡 my family gives them to him and I dont have many all wood toys until now)

I also got new stainless bowls as he keeps breaking the plastic ones and the single water bowl is not enough for his soup making.

We do not use the bottom door so that is space for branches too.

Essentially, show me some set up ideas!

This is going to be a massive upgrade but he has been slowly introduce to variety perches that he does not like the poles currently in and prefers textured.

Editing to add: If you saw my last post asking if he knew how much I just spent on him, yes this is why. I just did drop a pretty penny on him for this but it is worth it. Before asked how I do this: I just saved so much per payday so I am able to do massive hauls on cybersales :D

This is a follow up! As I have eight items missing still, it is only partially set up. I have a few wood ropes and birch toys coming in.

I plan to add more perches once he is settles but this is the current set up!

Injured Bird Nail bleeding

Upvotes

PLEASE HELP ❗️

I cut my bird's nail too short a few hours ago, we put flour on it. However I held pressure on it with a tissue so it probably wiped away.

He was bleeding so much I think, I got so scared and my parents got mad a me for crying. My dad said to just leave him in his cage to let the bleeding stop.

He seems normal after a few hours and my dad says the bleeding stopped, but im too scared to check on him in case he starts moving around in his cage. Last time I checked on him was around 30 minutes ago and he was moving like normal.

Should I take him out now ? And how to I stop the scab from re-opening ? Also i can't clean his cage till night and i cant tqke him to the vet. I'm very sorry I know i was being irresponsible I'm still very scared, I just want him to be safe.

Advice Advice on moving between houses with a conure

Upvotes

Hi guys, first-time poster. Soon I'll have to start moving back and forth between my mom's and dad's houses 50-50, so every week I'll switch. I have a conure, Tallulah, who is currently afraid of the carrier. I'd like any advice on carrier training to getting her comfortable at the new house. Info: her cage at the new house will be the exact same size, set up, and orientation to the room (across from my desk) in order to keep her comfortable. Anything helps! Thank you!

Is he looking for a different flavor? A pellet with the right size and shape? I'm not sure
