About the cage, i just bought it today, I plan on getting a much larger cage included with 2 standing sticks, constant flowing water, and some nive vegataion on the side.
Oh and also its a female, so maybe thats why it does not have such colorful feathers.

Question #2:

Can anyone please give me a parrot training video.?

my parrot keeps biting me and chewing on my couch can you please help

Question #3:

How can I build a close bond to a 10 year old African Grey Parrot?

Could you advise me how I can build a close bond with my fiancee's 10 year old male African Grey?
He seems to like me and eats food from my hand from the cage, but when I take my fingers near him, he seems that he want to bite me or maybe he is playing?
Should I get the courage to touch him or is best to play with him from the cage and not to take him out?
He was used to my fiancee's ex and she could touch him and play with him and he wouldnt bite and the only person could touch him was her! Is there any chance I could replace her?

Question #4:

What african greys parrots talk more male or female congo or timneh?



Question #5:

another riddle do you get it? because I do?

When Miss Millie purchased her new parrot, the salesman assured her that it would repeat any word it heard. About a week later, Miss Millie returned the parrot complaining it hadn't uttered a single word. Given that the salesman had spoken the truth about the parrot's abilities, why wouldn't the bird talk?
and this one too
Imagine you are in a room, no doors windows or anything, how do you get out?
another riddle to answer n 1209, on a hot summer day there was a man who was ordered to be executed by king. The king was a nice king though, and he said that if the man could prove himself wise, he would let him go. The king filled a room with fake flowers, and only put in one real flower in the room. The king said the man had 20 seconds to find the real flower. The man said, "It's very stuffy in here. Could you open a window?" The king opened a window, and the man immediately knew which was the real flower. How did he know?
this one Is easy Gaze at this sentence for just about sixty seconds and then explain what makes it quite different from the average sentence. Quick! What is it?
One more for you guys Many years ago, a wealthy old man was near death. He wished to leave his fortune to one of his three children. The old man wanted to know that his fortune would be in wise hands. He stipulated that his estate would be left to the child who would sing him half as many songs as days that he had left to live. The eldest son said he couldn't comply because he didn't know how many days his father had left to live, and besides he was too busy. The youngest son said the same thing. The man ended up leaving his money to his third child, a daughter. What did his daughter do?

Question #6:

Is the blue lobster compatible with my other fish?

I have:
4 Gourami (gold,blue, opaline, neon)
3 silver dollars
3 parrots
1 Colombian shark
Tank size is no problem but i just need to know if a blue lobster i am considering buying will pose a threat to these possible tankmates, i don't want either to end up dead. Can anyone help me out?

Question #7:

Why do Republicans seem to be experiencing a particular form of political amnesia from the Bush years?

SEN; Kit BOND: “In this post-partisan time of Barack Obama, we’re seeing a little Chicago politics. They steamroller those who disagree with them, then, I guess in Chicago, they coat them in cement and drop them in the river.” [NPR, 3/24/09]

Bond appears to be parroting his colleague Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH), who said any use of budget reconciliation by President Obama would be “regarded as an act of violence” against Republicans, and likened it to “running over the minority, putting them in cement and throwing them in the Chicago River.” Other GOP senators have chimed in against reconciliation, with Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) calling it a “purely partisan exercise” and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) saying it “would be a mess.”

Despite their howls against Obama, Republicans employed the same procedure to pass major Bush agenda items (which were supported by all four aforementioned Senators):

– The 2001 Bush Tax Cuts [HR 1836, 3/26/01]
– The 2003 Bush Tax Cuts [HR 2, 3/23/03]
– Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 [HR 4297, 5/11/06]
– The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 [H. Con Res. 95, 12/21/05]

As ThinkProgress has noted, Gregg defended using the reconciliation procedure to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for domestic drilling in 2005, arguing, “The president asked for it, and we’re trying to do what the president asked for.” Evidently, Gregg has lost the same sense of patriotic duty.

Question #8:

What should I do with this bird?!?!?!?

He is a Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot named Oliver. He is my fiance's bird and right now we all live at his parents house as we search for a house of our own. Oliver has bonded with Zach as though they are mates and is rather fierce towards the rest of us. Desperate for help I called a local bird sanctuary and they set us up with a certified bird handler/trainer. The man came to the house free of charge to assess Oliver and his relationships with each household member. I am doing everything the bird trainer suggested but I can not get anyone else to work with me. If no one else does what he needs Oliver will continue to attack people and scream incessantly which is what we are trying to break him of. He climbs of the cage and literally attacks people and does not let up, he will fly into your face snapping his horrible little beak and biting every inch of you he can reach. I am not getting any help with him and wonder if it is time to convince Zach to let him go. Take his to an animal sanctuary where he will be rehabilitated and set up with a loving adoptive family. I don't feel that Oliver is going to get any better under these conditions. I don't want to give up on him, Oliver deserves a chance too and I don't want to hurt Zach but I really don't know what else to do.
FYI for anyone wondering WHY this is such a problem. We are having a baby in less than a month. Guess he would just ditch his kid and fiance for a parrot huh?
you all have excellent suggestions and i am not going to give up on him just yet :) i don't turn my back on animals that need me because all they want is a loving home. i will look into all of your information. tysm! as for the random comment thank you lol that made me laugh and brightened my day! wish us luck and by us i mean me zach and oliver! again thank you all.

Question #9:

Deciding between two birds (must decide today)?

We have been researching for a few months . . . and even spending some time with Rescue centers learning to handle birds from the parrot family. And today, we have a decision to make:

We have decided that we want either (a) Timneh African Grey or (b) Indian RingNeck

Both have some big pros and cons . . and we are lost on what to do.

In your recommendation, keep in mind that we live in an apartment and although the walls are old and very thick, we want to be mindful of neighbors.

(a) Timneh is female, 10 years old (so she is already established and beyond the terrible two's). She is tame, has a large vocabulary, and easily goes to everyone.

(b) Indian RingNeck will be purchased as a weaned baby. It is prettier than the Timneh, and possibly easier to keep happy, however it may or may not learn to talk, it will not be as "personable" as the Grey, but maybe better suited for our apartment. Of course, we may have to deal with the terrible twos . . . . down the road too.

The Grey is said to be a talker, very friendly and never screams . . .

Any advice/recommendations? We only have a few hours before we need to decide because the Grey will be gone by someone else if we don't call in the next 4 hours

Thanks!!

Question #10:

my parrot weird behavior?

thanks

Question #11:

Can you prove that it is a bad thing for an animal to become extinct?

A lot of people talk about how many animals have become extinct, but when asked, there are only a few examples for the past 100 years. So then, who has ever heard of the tasmanian tiger, the paradise parrot, or the baija dolphin? If we haven't even heard of these animals, doesn't that mean that we don't miss them? Indeed, how is the extinction of these animals even a bad thing? Did it cause any measurably bad effects on the world we live in? If so, what are these effects, and how can they be measured? Isn't it true that many thousands of species have become extinct naturally and that, not only does it not hurt the environment, but indeed, it is even supposed to be that way for the natural evolution of life on earth?

Question #12:

Should I get a cockatiel?

I'm getting a new bird i was considering a cockatiel, but ive heard that they can get 'parrot fever' real easily, and that can be given to humans. i can also only give it about 2 and a half hours a day and a cage that is the size for about 3 budgies. but once she is trained i will let her fly freely around my room.

Question #13:

Amazon not taking care of his feathers?

I have a male Blue Front Amazon parrot. He's about 10 years old or so. He's always been very healthy. But lately, I've noticed he hasn't been taking care of his feathers. They've been getting ratty and nasty. He's misted with water at least every few days. His diet is a mix of seeds, peanuts, and bird fruit kibble, along with fresh fruits (especially apples) and veggies every other day.
Would taking him into the shower or misting him more often help him to clean himself?
What kind of food should he have in his diet to make sure his feathers are healthy?
Our water has a relatively high iron content. Could this cause the problem?

He's otherwise healthy. He shows no other signs of illness or stress.

Question #14:

Question #16:
