Hello, I posted about this in two some of my own local subreddits, but I want to get your input and hear your stories. Four days ago Ava, our orange-winged Amazon parrot, escaped our house and disappeared. She was only possibly sighted once after she bolted out, by one of our neighbors, and since then we haven’t heard or seen her. We’ve been calling out for her, playing flock calls, hanging up flyers where we can (where we are is very restrictive in where you can post them unfortunately), reaching out to veterinary hospitals, pet stores, animal control, and animal shelters and posting on countless Facebook groups, as well as Pawboost, Nextdoor and Ring Neighbors. Still nothing though, and I’m only getting more frantic and scared. Ava was like the little sister we never really had…she could be pretty timid, but in true Amazon fashion she was also very funny and mischievous. She’d splash my mother with her water bowl and literally gloat about it, pumping her head. She doesn’t talk, but she makes all kind of noises—waahs, wolf whistles, something that sounds like an 80s Atari game…she was a part of the family, and the past few days have been nothing short of a never-ending nightmare. I’m also worried by how long she’s been out there and how far she might have gotten. I’ve heard parrots often tend to stay close, but I’ve also heard they can fly pretty far away. Making matters worse they decided to pave our street; I imagine she might have been spooked further out. We’re in Monmouth County in central New Jersey; it’s forested in a lot of places but there’s also a lot of suburbs.  Like I said we’ve been doing all we can, but is there anything else we can do to bring her home? And have any of you managed to get larger parrots back in similar situations?

Last night and this evening there has been a ridiculous amount of very very loud aircrafts every 15 min or so from 20pm til 22pm. My poor parrotlets freak out every time. And very understandably so, the sound is deafening even with all repercussions in place.

Turns out there are military night drill every evening this week who's routes are directly over our city. I've already send a complaint about the excessive noise but I know it won't do anything. So the next 4 days will be hell for me and my boys.

Worst part is, I'm out around those times for this week specially. Will they be okay or should I nerf my plans to stay with them. (I live in a studio, so moving them to a quieter spot is not an option sadly)

One of them starts tail bobbing from stress and this is one of those situations he does it. My poor little guy.

They are too smart for their own good.

I apparently caused great uproar on a landlord question group because I told someone you shouldn’t be able to smell a bad odour from a bird never mind out of a door/ through the whole home. So, I’m asking this group because I DO wanna verify If me and google ( plus my experience) is right

Specifically my comment was for budgies or other “ low smelling” parrots, especially ones that do not produce as much dust as cockatoos etc.

Multiple people including sensitive nose people have been in my house or seen my birds, non have complained about a odour never less being able to smell I owned birds before seeing them

Is this concerning ? I just got her. She was only fed by her parents and recently started eating on her own. Im trying to offer veggies and pellets, unfortunately she's been only used to seed mix. But after searching what her weight should be as of this it seems she should be way heavier.

He is laying on top of the keyboard. The notebook is very warm, so I thought: " maybe he is just very comfy and wanted to nap"

But since:

1- He is baby

2 - Birds hide illnesses

3 - he just recently started on solids

4 - it's cold outside despite me keeping them in a warm room.

I've taken him to the vet 2 times already. And she gave me some.pointers in the 1st consult and said he was fine in the 2nd one.

Should I pay closer attention or is the baby just sleepy ?

I (25F) started taking care of a bird that belonged to my brother (32M). This bird is an Indian ringneck and my brother took him in when he was a baby. He has fallen down and fractured both of his wings and since this bird didn't get attention his wings have healed in wrong directions. Now that I'm taking care of him, I can't see him in pain. When his feathers are growing, he's too scared to preen them. He loses his balance a lot; can't be carried on hand, can't sit on sticks. He can't open his wings, he even falls down while walking. When he falls he feels the pain again and starts trembling. I found out that if I want to fix his wings it'll be a far more painful procedure and it might not be accurate either. What should I do?

How do I go about training my sun conure to not be so flighty? He's flighted and allow to fly around the the room. He flies to me when I call him and has no issues landing on me, but he's afraid to step up. It's weird because I can call for him and he'll fly right on to my hand but if I was to ask him to step up onto my hand he freaks out and backs away or just fly off. What do I need to work on for him to trust my hands for a step up. He's 4 years old and hand fed by me so he's not a new bird. After year 2, where I had less time to have him out all day he started becoming more flighty and afraid to step up.

i live in a place where vets dont rlly treat birds, they treat dogs and cats only. i tried with 3 different vets but 2 of them refused and the 3rd one just grabbed my bird and searched up a supplement online which really didnt help. my bird was pretty traumatised cuz he doesnt rlly like human touch and the ve had no knowledge on how to properly do it. what do you do for arthritis, the same bird passed away last yr after living with me for 5 yrs and i feel like he did have it since he walked a little wonky and wasnt able to fly. just making sure for my other cockatiel

My conure has been doing this for the past 3-4 days and it seems very unusual . For context she's 2 years old and a female

I don't know if it's ok to ask this here but ai doesn't know much about it his species of parrot, I just have a cockatiel so I spotted some red flags.

I don't know if he is in good condition. I just know he is fed only sunflower seeds. No toys, no perch (previously) but now have perches.

Bird is not mine btw. I don't want to jump to conclusions so am asking for opinions.

Thanks

Hi guys, my lovebird is currently slouched over while covered in his cage. He just spent 2 nights in a smaller cage from Petco because of a sudden circumstance. He slept clinging to the wall instead of on a flat perch like he is right now. So i dont know if he is just exhausted and didn’t sleep well, or if he is dying. He will pick himself up/wake up but then slowly slouch over again within five minutes or so.
