I found out what's wrong with ALL MY BIRDS at the vet! (Part 2) 

Wow…an avian veterinarian that makes house calls is unheard of. You are soo lucky!❤

@@wrinklesandsprinkles Yes, indeed, as I stated, I am very fortunate and grateful, especially since I am going on in age, and taking 7 birds to the vet for their annual exams would be quite an ordeal for me... Also, the vet hospital I use has 2 top vets with American Board of Veterinary Practitioners diplomas in avian practice. It is very modern with all the latest technologies.

That's amazing, I'm sure you do an amazing job looking after him/he! What a lucky bird - How regularly do you give him/her bet checks? Xxx

Bird heard!😂

Try to get some more natural perches if you haven't already. We use cherry wood and cork! Works wonders for nails and beaks. One of our amazones likes to chew on the cork bark like we chew chewing gum - hillarious! They're best when all the bark is still intact. When we know where they come from (like from neighbouring gardens when they trim their trees) we don't even clean them very much, as to not losen the bark. After about 4 weeks most of the bark is gone, so for nailtrimming purposes we change them for new ones if we have enough left. Otherwise just clean them regularly. We still do a yearly trim but it's more for us to not get as many scratches as their nails tend to get pointy by then.

Read lots of books about macaws. I would suggest that a new bird owner would be better with a small bird. My parrot my friend is a book that helped me.

Have you binge watched ALL of BT’s training videos? There is SO much you can be doing to change her behaviors!! Do you have her on the Seasonal Feeding System? Is she getting at least 12 hours of complete dark and quiet sleep? Have you started target training?

Congratulations on your new bird, thank you for being a safe place for her to land! 🥰 I would highly recommend that you email my customer service team at info@birdtricks.com for some support and direction for you and your GCC. We have so many resources that will help you with this.

@@BirdTricks does the male quaker and female have the same personality in training or not

One of them passed away

I had 2 and I noticed they did not produce powder like my cockatiels

@@Adennative I get it now. Powder = dust. I’ve seen dandruff like stuff on my dark clothes after my bird preens. That must be dust (powder). It’s true IRNs don’t make as much as other birds.

That does not sound unreasonable if the rest of her diet is on point and healthy. Although, each bird is different with how they handle the fat from nuts so that is why it is important to do annual bloodwork and have wellness exams to make sure that all is good. :) birdtricksstore.com/blogs/birdtricks-blog/treat-size?_pos=4&_sid=d18b33867&_ss=r

@@BirdTricks Thank you

$120 is extremely cheap

bird tricks usually doesn't respond to comments, so i'll try to give what advice i can (mind that i'm not particularly good at it), based on what i learned from them. if you need more reasons for convincing your mom to rehome them, or want to attempt caring for them despite everything, here's some stuff they need, the most obvious things aside: they need to be trained to tolerate other people, through positive reinforcement. hating everyone besides her isn't good for them, either. it stresses them out, so that they're likely to pluck themselves, and generally have worse health. there's a few videos on here on training birds to be nicer, and there's a lot to be learned from them. it needs to be made sure that there's nothing making them hormonal (like dark hiding spots, nesting material, being pat on the back regularly), because that would be one cause of their aggression, and making them more possessive of their bonded partner (your mom). it's also very important that they get enrichment like toys, varied foods, and exercise. constant boredom is a serious issue for something as intelligent as a parrot, causing them to scream, bite others, pluck, and sometimes even mutilate themselves. ..your mom is unambiguously neglecting her pets. regardless of how much she loves them; keeping them like that, unable to care for them but refusing to let them go because it would hurt her own feelings... i don't think i have to tell you that that's a messed up thing to do. like, imagine if someone did that with a human child, which, parrots are about as intelligent as young children. it's also really unfair to everyone else, who has to live with her loud aggressive big parrots and risk getting hurt by them, just because she's refusing to make that decision. it's sad she can't care for them, but they can't just stay like that. and if she gives them a better home, she can rest easy knowing they're well cared for. if all else fails, you can always try to get her birds taken away. wouldn't be nice for her, but it's an option.

@@silverschmid4591 she does provide toys and sunlight for them, they do tolerate me sometimes, but there is nothing else I feel that could help them, I am going to try to talk to her about it again today, but I don’t think it will go well.

What? Ethically breeding animals is not bad and these birds are very well taken care of, clearly they are not being used as decor.
