Question #1:

my 5 month ringneck parrot is so afraid of me please help!?

hi

i have just recently bought a ringneck parrot its wild when i got her she used to scream and fly around her cage or whenever i tried to handfeed her through the cage she screams and shouts, i just hope she can be tamed.
her wings are clipped and im just trying to bond with her.

manythanks

Question #2:

The identity of your trolls --- ever wonder?

If you pay attention they have multiple accounts --- they are base vulgar and appear to hide under the banner of a party or cause and you see them all the time


But if you really challenge them they get smarter ---- their language skills and points as lie filled as ever improve They are still propaganda machines whose goal is to drag the conversation to the lowest common denominator

The said you can drag these trolls of pure hired partisan hate up a few levels Yes they are unimaginative parrots yelling the same lies that conquered their twisted souls

They appear completely out of their proportion to their actual numbers The fringe is pretending to be the whole and not the outcast from it

The identity of your trolls --- ever wonder

Question #3:

So, culturally speaking, what names do you like best for children and/or pets?

I don't have kids yet but named my parrots Rowena, Sharon and Ozzy (the last 2 are a pair).

The golden retriever is Barnabus aka Barney or Barnsworth Bentley. The mostly white and w/black huge spots, also fat "kitler" cat is named "Cow"

The names are just silly to me... like Puffy Daddy's umbrella guy, no offense to black people. And Cowboy is a funny looking cat indeed. I never tell my friends before they come over that the cat looks like Hitler, but they say the same thing everytime (He's not adopted nor bought btw, one of our old cats was a neighborhood hoochie mama puddy and we don't know who the papa cat was. Blame one of my family members for not fixing her, not me).

Just wondering what other people like for names. If you want to, state your race/ethnicity/culture/age/approx. where you are from or live.

Thank you for your time if you answer this. Best most descriptive answer, I always give 10 pts.

Peace out.

Question #4:

A question about my Parrot?

I absolutly love my parrot,and am sure he loves me too.
My sister is so nice to him,she gave him kiwi last morning,he went to the chair then threw th kiwi and suddenly jumped on her and bit her near the eye(EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) I warned her to stay away from him
Why?My sis hasn't done anyhing bad to him,he bites my brother,my dad only.
He never bit me,he is 3 now.
Can someone explain? thanks soo much.
P.S he is an Indian Ringnecked parrot

Question #5:

parrot has little purple sores on feet?

About in the middle of my White Front Amazon Parrot's (Mr. Sid) foot/pad, there is a circular sore that is a dark-ish shade of purple. I am very concerned, because I have tried Neosporion on a regular basis, but it does not seem to have any effect. I removed my parrot's sandy-perch I got at Pet's Mart, because I was afraid this was where the trouble was coming from. I replaced the sand-perch with a manzanita perch quickly. She has not yet shown any signs of trying to stay off that particular foot, but I am afraid if the sore is not treated soon she will start staying off the foot. My quesiton is, is this serious enough to have to get to the vet, or is there a particular ointment I can use to treat the sore?

God bless

Question #6:

Just a random thought for today..

Question #7:

How to teach my parrot step up without biting?

I've just baught a 2 year old ringneck from a pet store. Was used for breeding and then when finished with was braught into the shop. He was in the for 2 weeks, and i asked the person who was selling him 'is he tame' and he sighed and said 'well.. he's not the tamest'??
So I have left him a week in my house and he takes food from me through the bar and sometimes out of my hand. I havent let him out of the cage, however he did escape out when I was cleaning his cage and he banged into a lot of things and was a struggle to get hold of and back into his home. He didnt bite when we got hold of him with the towel, however he carefully placed his beak on us gently. But, on a night if you go next to his cage he turns visious and does go for me through the bar. I just really want to get him tame, but need some advice:) Thankyou, much appriciated.

Question #8:

thank you

Question #10:

Please help! searching for parrot?

I have been searching for a parrot for over a year now that is in my budget hand tamed and fully feathered. I just found a Mexican red headed amazon for adoption on craigslist for $150 with cage. I don't know if I should get her as an amazon was not in the plans because of the noise level but the price cannot be beat. I called the owners and she sounds like the perfect bird she's friendly, knows step up, fully feathered, talks, whistles, and is apparently not a screamer they say they just really need the cash. The problem is that I really had my heart set on an Eclectus but can't find one in my budget. So should I hold out and miss the opportunity or get the amazon. Are they really that loud?

Question #11:

What is a dangerous household carbon monoxide reading?

I have a carbon monoxide detector in my kitchen and it has always read 0. Today it is suddenly reading 9. I know that stuff can kill you so I was wondering what the rage was for safe, and what number would be dangerous to my parrot, rabbit, and myself?

Also, what do I do if it becomes deadly? Do I call the fire department or something, or just turn everything off, and air out the house and try to find the cause? Prompt help would be appreciated. I assume I am in no immediate danger as the sensor has not alarmed yet, but I am a little paranoid now. lol

Question #12:

Neighbor downstairs is handicap and makes alot of noise, now the parrot is in on it too?

I have a neighbor downstairs who is handicap. Everyday he yells and hollers at all hours of the day. It's pretty hard to get use to because it's very loud. I know there's nothing I can do because he's handicap and I can't move out cause my lease just began in July. There's another neighbor who has a parrot and she's learned to mimic his hollering so now everytime he hollers, the parrot begins the song too. (it's not exactly a song but you know what I mean) This has become double the nuisance now. I am in no way trying to be mean, I actually sympathize the handicap person and feel for him but it's hard to listen to all the time. What can I do other than move out or close my windows? It's summer in CA and it's hot as hell. People aren't allowed to have pets here, even birds. Would I be mean to report the bird? It's not his bird it's another neighbor's bird.
No one can quiet the handicap person, I don't know what he has but he doesn't understand much. He's assisted at all hours of the day.

Question #13:

Are people who quote religious texts as actual answers to questions?

really just proving themselves as non thinking cult victim parrots.
DA: I see you hide from the truth with imaginary insults. Typical cult mentality when you have nothing you start imagining anything to suit you. I feel you are a victim. Just trust yourself in reality?

Question #14:

Question about stickshift carssszz?

Sooo i could be like wayyy wrong about this & whatnot but just wondering...
Say i'm driving at 55 MPH on 4th gear, i can also do 55 on 5th gear...obv the engine makes more noise when i'm on 4th gear doing 55 then when i do 55 on 5th....i've always assumed that it f&cks the engine up if you go too fast on lower gear...that's a pretty logical assumption right? Okay well maybe, maybe not?
It also makes sense that if you are on a lower gear you use up more gas...but IDK cause you're still going the same speed which means you're probably pressing on the gas the same amount either way...so uhm...what the deal be with that, anyone know? I am just a rambling twack tonight so excuse my basically having a convo w/ myself hopefully you understand wtf i'm saying i seem to be just spurting out words like a crazy parrot or some shit wtf is goin on here...
Anyhoooooooooo so i guess what i'm trying to ask is does it make a difference what gear you ride on with the engine & with the gas at all? Or am i just making shiit up?

Oh & btw i don't really care cause it wouldn't make a difference with my lil honda anyway i'm merely curious & bored & twacking so i gotta ask mo questions mo questionssss!!!!

Kay bye!
Hmm that thingy that shows how much you're pressing on the gas....lol my car doesn't have onna those :p
But thanks for the clear up :) ...i dunno anything about cars..haha

Question #15:

when can i expect to see some growth in my blood parrot cichlid?

i bought a blood parrot cichlid about a month ago if not a little longer ago but i'm wondering when i can start to see him growing a little bit he's gotten a little bigger but not much at all right now he's in a 30 gallon tank with a pleco and some cory cats i'm giving the mollies and swordtails in the tank to my cousin but i wanna know when i can actually see some growth of the fish because he's staying kinda small i started to notice he's getting some orange to him finally he was an all green breed someone told me he's a breed that wasn't given the hormone injection so he's not an all orange breed if anyone knows let me know please

Question #16:

What are some alternatives to parrot beak trimming?

I want to trim my parrots beak, but before I go and get it done at the vet for $80, I would like to know some alternatives to that? Like I've tried cuttle bones, and he won't even touch them, so without me having to do so, and without the vet having to do so, what are some ways to get a conures beak trimmed?
IT'S NOT GROWING FAST, I JUST HAVEN'T TRIMMED IT INA WHILE, AND I FEEL BAD, I KNOW :(

Question #17:

can you take a parrot into petsmart?

i am going across state line to adopt a parrot. she has toys, but could use some new ones. Can i take her into the petsmart in that area? all the pet supply stores in my area are geared towards aquatics or dogs and cats. what bird supplies they do have are for parakeets, cockatiels and other SMALL birds.

she will be on a tether.

when we go to get her will be the only chance for quite a while that i could personally see the product before it arrives at my house in a box. she is a two year old Congo African Grey, but i am unsure if she is UTD on shots or whatnot.

and YES she will be going to a vet in my area that specializes with parrots as soon as we get her home. i would wait until then to take her in, but it is a three hour drive to the nearest petsmart or petco. if it comes down to it, i will just go in before we pick her up... i just wanted to see if i have the option to take her in too!
thank you everyone for advising me to keep Baylee away from the other birds. this was a strong concern of mine even before i read your messages, but after reading i feel that it would be best for Baylee if i shopped before we went to get her.

Skylarr! - I have been told that this parrot has been in the public many times to teach children about birds. she is comfortable in the public eye, but i am still new to her. thank you for the advice on stress! i don't want her to start associating me with stress.

and Gail - thank you for catching the 'shots'! lol. i was meaning bloodwork - such as tests for illnesses. i do NOT know why i said shots.
and thank you, i intend to be a very good companion to her and provide everything she would ever need or want!

thank you everyone!

Question #18:

I'm feeling extremely empty?

I'm just not happy anymore, not sad, I'm just not excited anymore. Lately I have been feeling like there's nothing to look forward to. I have work next weekend, (ugh) I have assessments (ugh) parrot teacher interviews are coming up. (ugh). I've been really bored, like I wake up and I think to myself. Great another lousy day at school. I've been acting weird so my friend tell me, because lately I'm just not talkin to my best friend as much. We didn't fight, it's just that I don't feel like talking and we have run out of stuff to talk about. Why am I so bored and life for me is beginning to be a drag? (I'm not depressed or sad, just really ... Idk that's why I'm asking)

Please help me.
Parent teacher interviews* (sorry iPhone correction)
@perfectgen that doesnt help at all, i don't believe in god

Question #19:

Does anyone have experience with a nut-free diet for parrots?

I am very allergic to nuts and peanuts, so obviously I can't have those around the house. I am, however, also looking to buy a parrot. I know parrots are often fed nuts, and obviously I want to give it a healthy and happy life - but without nuts (or peanuts). This has to be possible as there definitely are good replacements for nuts available - but there doesn't seem to be much information on replacing it in a bird's diet. I did find this Click Here thread, and these people seem to know what they are talking about. Still, I'd like a second opinion. I am willing to cook for the bird, I have to cook a lot due to my allergies anyway. I don't want to put it on an unhealthy seed diet or anything along those lines, I really want it to be happy and healthy.

Question #20:

A Possible Substitute For a Blood Parrot Cichlid?

I have a 75 gallon tank that I would like to make in to a community aquarium.

Before telling me that Blood Parrot Cichlidss are not good community fish...I'll stick with the information I received from ** Click Here ** and ** Click Here ** which tell me that, for the fish I want in my community, a BPC will work.

I understand that BPCs are 1) not naturally occurring in the wild, 2) they are bred deformed, and 3) they may suffer health problems due to their deformities. With this, I have an ethical dilemma against purchasing a BPC for my auquarium.

Here's my question: Does anyone know of a good substitute for a BPC? I'm looking for similar qualities in the substitute that can be found in a BPC. 1) Bold or bright coloration. 2) Peaceful in nature. 3) Can live comfortably as the single fish of it's species in a community aquarium. 4) Will reach approx. 8 inches in size. 5) Will not become stressed by being around fast swimming/darting fish.

Thank you in advance!!!
