    Californians of Chaz, can anyone help?

    This showed up on reddit, this guy is at the Petco in Redlands, California. He is on sale because he is so malnourished and sick. If anyone here is able to take him in and get him the vet care he so badly needs, I would be willing to chip in if need be. http://i.imgur.com/GO08D4D.jpg He...

    The Fall Semester Thread.

    I think this works great for some people that aren't ready to leave the nest, but on the other hand, if you have the means to go to school and have an interest in learning more, going straight out of high school is not necessarily a bad thing. I *still* don't know what I want to be when I grow...

    My rescue

    Poor baby, that video when he get's tired just breaks my heart. He has a really sweet face.

    New Baby

    Thanks guys, I am over the moon with the little tyke. We had a vet visit today and the vet noticed he was a little skinny, likely from the stress of travelling. Anyway, she recommended I handfeed him over the next few days for comfort and to get some extra food in him. She showed me how at the...

    New Baby

    The new baby bird arrived last night and I have to post photos because I am so excited! The DNA sample was sent in a few days ago so hopefully we will find out the sex by this weekend and can then finally decide on a name. Anyway, for the people that didn't see my earlier thread he/she is a 15...

    Greyhound Puppy Possibility-Pros/Cons

    You know Linds, I was late to the party and didn't get to add my .02 cents but based on your posts I think you are making the best decision. Another opportunity for a great puppy from a good breeder will come along, and it's definitely best to take your time and not be rushed into such a big...

    Tell me about birds!!

    Awesome, I played with some baby GCC this weekend at a breeder's house and they were too cute. I'm going with a crimson bellied conure because a) you can't beat their colouring b) they are similar in personality to greencheeks but different in the good ways (a little more snuggly, a little...

    Tell me about birds!!

    Fran summed up what I would have said pretty perfectly. You don't have to spend that much time DIRECTLY interacting with them, but they do need to feel included in what's going on. Having said that though, parrots respond really well to clicker training and so if you have the time, I really...

    Tell me about birds!!

    Well think of it as if you were getting a pup from a breeder. If you couldn't go see the facilities and judge yourself how friendly the babies are and how healthy the parents are, you would ask for lots of references and testimonials. There are lots of great breeders who are willing to ship...

    Thank you so much, it really is going to be nice to have some new life in the house. I will definitely be posting pictures, he/she won't be getting the vibrant red plumage for a while but baby pictures are always cute too!

    New Baby

    As some of you may or may not know, in the last year and a half we went from a full household of different types of pets down to one dog and a fish tank due to cancer, illness, old age and a car accident. I also got dumped by my long-term boyfriend (4.5 yrs) and consequently struggled a lot with...

    Tell me about birds!!

    Those poor birds, what a jerk. I'm glad you guys at least got to hold one at petsmart. They are pretty amazing animals and believe me when I say it's easy to get hooked... Just wait until you go to a breeders place and get to hold some babies right before they are ready to be weaned.... There is...

    Tell me about birds!!

    Can't wait to hear how the "encounter" goes :popcorn: Definitely keep us in the loop. Stores are great to get exposure but if possible go with a good breeder and definitely get a handfed baby. Worth the extra time and money when you have to live with the animal for 20 years. Hey, we may...

    People Good With Colours?

    Exactly, there are only a few specific situations that I would like to use it for (occasional trips outside and visits to the old folk's home) but for those situations it will be super convenient. Thanks! Getting one and just having a really tough time making a decision. As far as I have...

    People Good With Colours?

    Haha it's not for aesthetics, I think the birds look much better without them ;) Flightsuits are harnesses that you can use to take your bird outside and out and about with you without worrying (they come with a lightweight leash lanyard) and they also function as a sort of "diaper" so you don't...
