WHY DID MY BIRD BITE ME? One special thing to look for is when your bird seems to be in a trance-like state. This is a natural protective behavior. In the wild parrots “take turns” standing watch for the flock for any danger. They are in a hyperalert state at that time, blocking out all extraneous (i.e., nondangerous) stimuli. TUTORIAL ON TRIMMING WINGS The first time you have your bird's wings trimmed it should be done by a professional who can show you exactly what to do. It is NOT recommended that you do this without an in-person demonstration the first time. It is also NOT recommended that you attempt this on larger parrots. This wing trim isPARROT PARROT

Sometimes even with the greatest of care, a baby can develop splay legs. Preventive measures are best (such as making sure that there is enough nesting material in the box and that the diet is nutritionally complete for the parents), but every once and a while, the mother hen will sit too tight on a baby and cause one or both legs to appear to stick out from the body. TUTORIAL ON TRIMMING WINGS The first time you have your bird's wings trimmed it should be done by a professional who can show you exactly what to do.

BREEDING LOVEBIRDS

WHY DID MY BIRD BITE ME? One special thing to look for is when your bird seems to be in a trance-like state. This is a natural protective behavior. In the wild parrots “take turns” standing watch for the flock for any danger. They are in a hyperalert state at that time, blocking out all extraneous (i.e., nondangerous) stimuli.

Many times a bird will show early signs of infection. These might be a change in fecal consistency, loss of appetite, increased need for attention, increased sleeping, or other more subtle signs. By the time your bird is sitting on the bottom of the cage you are in a dire situation. They need immediate care.GREATER VASA PARROT

WHO IS PARROT PARROT? Who Is Parrot Parrot? I'm Vera Appleyard. I was the first Guide to Pet Birds at About.com. I am a member of the African Love Bird Society and author of The Lovebird Handbook. I also run the popular Parrots & Pet Birds Discussion Forum. Parrot Parrot has information on all parrots: South American Parrots, African Parrots, and Australian Parrots! The site is dedicated to the health of companion birds and it is my hope that through educating the public about the responsibilities of owning parrots, that I might help prevent the mistreatment and/or abandonment of these majestic, intelligent creatures. Please take the time to carefully consider all the information on this site before plunging into "parrothood," particularly the pages on how to buy a bird, the checklist, avian health, and the reference library. These pages will prepare you for parrot ownership and will help you decide if you really want the responsibility of owning a parrot. Although many people think a small parrot such as a lovebird or budgie is "easier" they still require quite a bit of time and care compared with cats ordogs.

LOVEBIRDS ARE PARROTS Many people think lovebirds are not parrots, but they are! They are an African species (there are nine species of lovebirds) and they have all the tell-tale characteristics, from the hooked bill to the two-toes-forward, two-toes-back. Lovebirds have the ability to mimic as all parrots do, but they aren't as well-known for this. Lovebirds are one of the cuddliest and most playful parrots when they are hand-fed and properly socialized. We raise a few select color mutations of peachfaced lovebirds, hand-raising them to be the best pets possible, so be sure to check out our Lovebirds section! WHAT’S PARROT PARROT ABOUT? Our pages on avian health, nutrition, toxin and dangerous toy alerts will help make you a better parrot parent. Our checklist for potential bird parents will help you choose a healthy, well-adjusted pet. We also have a section on beginner breeding of lovebirds and information on lovebird mutations. Our Parrot Articles Section covers many of the basics of behavior, nutrition, training, talking, and biting issues. Having raised small parrots such as lovebirds and English budgerigars for many years (as well as hand-raising our own larger parrots as pets), we have put together all kinds of information on bird health, dangerous bird toys, wheatgrass (the ultimate health food for parrots), recipes, and a well-researched reference library that links you up to some of the best information on birds available on the web today. We are a growing site, so come back often. If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact me.PARROT GALLERY
