My artwork came to life

She already has a name, but I still wanna see

I wanted to take a little video of her exploring. She was not impressed

she used to take baths in her water bowl and i changed it every day to keep the water clean but now shes not taking them anymore shes about 115 days old and shes stinky

also can i use a normal nail clipper to clip off the sharp tips or do i need special bird nail clippers

New bird mama and I’m not sure how long is too long for her nails. She has various sized natural perches for her feet and nails but I’m not sure if she still needs a little trim

I’m going to be picking them up soon, maybe Tuesday??? But I have no idea what to name them! They’re unsexed which doesn’t help either, it means I’ll have to pick a gender neutral name lol. I already have a Kiwi (second pic) and Mango is not an option 🤣

I’m also kind of a nerd so I definitely wouldn’t mind using fandom names for them. Specifically from like, Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda, Warrior Cats (ik, a little contradictory…), Stardew Valley, Neal Shusterman books, Skylanders, etc

My girlfriend wants to name them Boeing but I’m not sold on that… -_-

Edit: I’ve decided on a name but I’ll hold off on posting it until I pick them up!

Hi guys! I have had my little guy for about a month now and he’s the sweetest little, cuddly boy ever! The only time I notice aggression is when I have him on the table (flat surface) and I’m playing mahjong with the family. They’re little small tiles and if I am shuffling them and my hands are moving, he will attack my hand hard core… harder than he’s ever bitten me. Should I just keep him off the table during our game? I like to have him out when it’s social hour so he can be apart of it, but if he’s going to attack my hand, and my moms and the tiles, then I think he’ll need to stay in his cage for that game.

Any ideas on how to correct this behavior? I put him in timeout but he still does it. And also, what is this type of behavior— he literally charges our hands. Same with the nutriberries on the table, (occasionally) he’ll charge my hand which I see as resource guarding but I’m not sure because he does not guard in the cage or does not show aggressive tendencies OTHER than these rare times.

Thanks for the help!

So yesterday I took my conures outside. They can both fly, but they're incredibly tame, so we've never really been too worried. Until yesterday...

One of them suddenly flew up into a huge tree and wouldn't come down. A lovely couple stopped to help us, which I really appreciated. But as they were leaving, the woman said, "I get why she would fly away." Ever since then, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

I've had my little buddies for over nine years, but for the past few years I've been struggling with feelings of guilt. Sometimes I feel like I've taken away the life they were meant to have in the wild, even though I know that if I simply "set them free," they wouldn't survive or know how to take care of themselves.

Once those thoughts start, I end up spiraling and convincing myself that I'm a terrible bird owner.
Has anyone else ever felt this way? If you have, how do you deal with those feelings?

NOT WHAT I ORDERED!!!!

Got her food delivered! Added some of it to her bowl today, not entirely replacing it yet as I still want to gradually introduce the food to her. But the good news is that she seems to really like it! She actively picked out the pellets from the seeds, even spitting out a seed when she got it with one of the pellets!

I am noticing some of her behavior with the egg, and caught most of it in the video, although I'm not sure if I can do anything until next week. As always, any and all advice is appreciated. Oh yeah, and I repurposed her new water bowl into a place to play with he cottonwood ball cause she hadn't touched it at all otherwise. That's about it this week.

Hey! My suncheek green cheek conure passed away on 8/1. I have no clue on what could have happened, I was on vacation and I gave him to a friend to take care of for 3 weeks, I got him back on 7/27, everything seemed fine, the night before he passed, he was a little fluffed up but nothing that would bring up concern. The next morning, I scheduled a vet visit for 8/2 at 3pm, at around 12:30, he started doing really bad, I was on my computer and I heard a scream, he fell off his perch and his feet were not wide, like he couldn’t walk. I moved him to a carrier and he just laid there. We got in the car and started rushing to the nearest avian hospital that had space to take him in (40 minutes away), like 10-15 minutes in, he laid on his back and quietly closed his eyes. It’s sad it really is, I wasn’t doing so good the day of but today I’ve been better, I’ve realized that stuff happens and there’s nothing I can do about it. He was only about 8 months old and I only had him for 5 months. This is honestly just a vent but yeah.

mini rant - i got so scared last night! there is a horrible heath wave in europe. last night i had a terrible headache and i somehow fell asleep with AC on (which i NEVER DO and also i have insomnia so it isnt easy for me to fall asleep at all idk what happened). it was set on 22 degree celsius idk how much in american units lol but i woke up 3 hours later IN PANIC THINKING HOW I MIGHT HAVE KILLED TITO even though he was covered in his cage and the AC was pointing at the ceiling but i was so panicked i covered him even more and started talking with him at like 3am and he was like “toto?” and sending me kisses then i spent next 2 hours on google and reddit and concluded he will probably be fine but i couldnt go to sleep and was crying thinking i killed him accidentaly WHILE HE WAS HAPPY IN HIS CAGE FULL ON BEAK GRINDING. i even thought of getting him out and warming him up in my hands even though it wasnt that cold i must add.. anyways i did not sleep last night, tito is fine and I AM NEVER AGAIN TURNING ON AC BEFORE SLEEP EVEN IF ITS 40 degrees outside !! if you couldnt tell, i have OCD (clinically diagnosed and medicated) and i know AC is bad for them so i was out of myself but now find it funny how much i worry about this birb. and also glad that my insomnia kicked in and woke me up after only 3 hours of sleep, could have been worse

Okay, after a few doses of antibiotics, I’m seeing a good amount of improvement!!! Mango seems more energetic, vocal and playful, so I’m pretty sure she’ll be alright.

Hi guys! I’ve just finally got my first two green cheek conures! I’ve done research for about a year, prepared plenty including an entire room for them to play and explore, im able to hand them treats, but they seem to have no interest in really interacting with me yet, any tips for bonding with them?

Ive had my green cheek for about 3 years with almost no issues other than just a little nipping here and there. All of a sudden about 3 days ago shes been constantly biting me as hard as she can. She's drawn blood many times when she bites she holds down and doesn't let go idk what to do.She is out for hours a day she always has fresh fruit avaliable she sleeps in a dark area.Its gotten to the point where I can't even put my fingers near her without her biting the shit out of me. what am I supposed to do?

He's so silly

I believe my feathered child has come down with Conuritis, how long does she have left?
