You have a good point. I'll try to work on that.

Thank you. Some people just don't get it.

Thank you. My guest reacted like I'd done something wrong. I never saw any harm in handing over fresh veggies or a small treat to further the bond I have with my boy. I never thought about how that would play out in front of company.

My conure has become a great companion. He and I spend a lot of time together and he's learning so much. When I eat, I make sure to have something he can have, so when he comes over he can eat with me. He's always been patient and pleasant. But I had a guest over who sat down to eat, and my...

My birds like MC Hammer's Can't Touch This and Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap. They learned to dance to Elvis' Blue Suede Shoes.

Feb 4th only. Sketch comms for $1!

Comms still open, if anyone is interested. Can do people and animals and fantasy art.

From the moment he let me touch him without any hand-fear, it's been fullspeed ahead. Didn't really make a plan for what to teach him beyond step-up and recall. (His hand-fear was intense. Wasn't sure he'd get over it.) He flops over and likes to be held on his back at random times, and he does...

The prices of bird training perches and playstands can be outrageous. $40, $90, $394, etc... Made this for $20, plus toys I already had. (I apologize for the lighting.) Round wooden base, $8 the dowels were cheap and I added sisal cord (bird friendly) Drilled a few holes and used some...

My conure had a dreadful fear of hands for the longest time. During that time, I managed to teach him to step-up onto my arm (but only of I had a sleeve and my hand was not directly visible). I've had him roughly 8 months and that fear seemingly vanished on its own. One day, he flew onto the...

The cage looks nice. Keep working with your birds. Took my boy nearly 8 months to get over his fear or hands.

Thank you for this reply. Very helpful and informative. He has only been frisky with his Cozy Corner a couple times. It's a cushioned fleece that attaches near a perch for cuddling/preening. It is not like a hut. He is never around the budgies without supervision, and they are caged...

Thank you for the compliment. I got some people on Twitter I'm doing comms for, but hoping to do more to help cover a few things. I understand and respect you putting money towards your birds. You're doing right, keep at it!

Will be taking orders for digital art commissions soon. Money made will go towards my animals, be it toys, treats, vet bills, etc. Will be taking limited orders. Payment due upon art completion, via PayPal. Sketches $5 Flatcolor (cartoon) $10 Portrait $20 Fullcolor $25+ For customs or...

Thank you! One of the first things I learned about birds is that they love toys, and I'm always excited when I see something new they might like.
