Hello, the bird cant bend his feet , he cant stand on crossbar and he was born like this. I'm currently hand feeding him because his mother is refusing to feed him. Please help
Ouch! Those feet should be checked out by a vet and some blood tests run to make sure there isn't a nutritional deficiency or other illness causing the foot problem. If your bird checks out OK, then it may be a genetic deformity that will be there for life. Birds that have trouble perching or getting around may do better with large, flat perches, or flat shelf-like platforms so they can rest their feet and move around without falling off. Food and water dishes with similar shaped platforms can also help make it easier for your bird to access.

Hi, I got my 6 month old conure 4 days ago and just yesterday I’ve noticed a change in behavior. He does a really slow head bob and feather twitch usually accompanied by a low croak or chirp. This behavior stops while he is eating. His first dropping
Thanks for reaching out about your conure. Decreased appetite often shows are dark feces. Seed is a poor diet for parrots, deficient in vitamins, minerals and proteins. Birds need to eat a wide variety of vegetables, cooked beans as a protein source and avian pellets. The head bobbing might be reversion to baby-hood, wanting to be fed by mom (induced by stress of new home). Syringe feed if needed to maintain weight. Good luck.

Right now I have a 8 week old sun Conure. I want to know what is the right amount of food should I provide him? Right now I’m only feeding with the baby formula. Thank you so much for your support. Have a lovely day.
AT this age, he should be weaning. Begin introducing a pelleted diet, about 1/4 cup daily to start. Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber or Pretty Bird are excellent brands. You may still need to provide supplemental feedings. Monitor his weight closely. You can also offer fresh greens and vegetables as well as a seed mix such as NutriBerries.

Hello I have a 4 month old Black Capped Conure. I’m very new at bird information. I was wondering is my birds stools normal? I’m still learning what’s normal and what isn’t. I have a picture to show. The stool dried up a little bit so I apologize if
It looks normal but it is hard to tell 100% from this photo. I recommend you refer to this link/article: ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/birds-abnormal-droppings ) If you are worried you can always have your vet do a fecal test/gram stain. The biggest way to keep your bird healthy is to feed the appropriate diet. I strongly suggest Lafeber diets. I don't know what you are feeding but many people default to seeds but that is not a good diet. ( https://lafeber.com/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

The girl I'm dating owns 2 Sun Conure parrots and she plans on bringing them over. What is the best way for me to greet them and make sure that they like me and that I do not pose a threat etc.? They are very close to her and very protective of her.
If your girlfriend knows what their favorite treats are, stock up on it! You'll want to begin slowly, and if at anytime the birds become stressed, take a break and let everyone relax. You can start by just offering them the treat by tossing it to them or their cage, until they are comfortable with you around. From there, you can work on offering a treat by hand, or letting them sit on your hand (most birds will bite if they come up on your shoulder and aren't used to you, so keeping them on your hand can help everyone feel comfortable!). As they get used to you, continuing to offer treats and just interacting with them can help you to bond. If they become stressed, bite, hiss, etc, placing them back in their cage and giving them a break, and then returning back to the previous step they were comfortable with is best.
