Happy to hear it ☺️

Your videos are SO informative, about to get my first conure after not having a bird for tons of years and I had no idea how much things had changed- how much more important info there is to care for them properly than just seed and a cage as people wrongly think.

Awww thank you im glad ☺️ and congrats on being a new bird parent!

My female Jenday, Chico, was getting hormonal last year and began feather picking. She was acting extremely "wound-up" and was hopping around inside her cage and shaking like she had been covered in itching powder. I gave her more showers and sometimes just spritzed her with a water bottle. This would calm her for a little while. I took her to the vet, ran blood work, and everything came back OK. My vet said she was hormonal (this was early April) and gave me a few things to try. My vet said I needed to stress Chico - just slightly. He advised that I move her cage to a different location, so each night I began moving her cage into my spare bedroom away for my other birds. She would call to her flock for 10-15 minutes, but then calmed-down for the night. I would move her back to the flock in the morning. If she started acting wound-up during the day, I would move her cage back to the spare bedroom. Chico was also gorging herself on food, especially in the afternoon. I would weigh her each day and her weight increased by 6-8 grams over her normal weight. My vet said to remove her food bowl, or limit her food --- the thought being that birds become hormonal in the spring when food becomes abundant, which triggers the mating instinct. Each afternoon, about an hour before bedtime I would remove Chico's food for the evening. It took 4-6 weeks for her to finally return to normal. All her plucked feathers grew back and she returned to her normal weight and personality. That was 18 months ago. If she begins to act hormonal, I use these tips and the phase usually passes with a few days.

These are amazing tips! I didnt even take into consideration some of these behaviour! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼 I hope this helps others too ☺️

Your birds are so beautiful and amazing to watch. That last quacking like ducks is so funny. Your videos are obviously for bird owners but just the love and care you show is perfect for all pet owners.

@mimisbirdhouse Thank you for the awesome videos. I've commented that I came close to getting a bird because I thought they were easy. I wouldn't be able to give a bird what is needed. Any pet is a huge commitment. But I'm a dog guy and I love the pit I rescued. She 10. The last pit I rescued was 12 and she was deaf. Think I'll just keep giving the older dogs a home. Rescue dogs are the most loving. And the older they are the more loving they are!! If anyone is able to give them what they need like you see on her videos rescue a bird and follow what you see here on these videos, and if not and want a loving pet rescue an older dog. You won't regret it. Hope it was OK I said this.

I notice that recently my parrots start throwing up with each other and sometime with my hand (just few time) i don't pet them other than their head. Why's that?🤔 They bite me, basically only Peach bite😓, but i can understand that since they are molting. I let them sleep 12 or more hours, i put them to sleep at 7 p.m. and then wake them up at 8 p.m. if they don't wake up on their own, but they basically wake up after 7.😅 Did not get notification of my previous cmnt about watching my recent video since it has a peek of my babies🤔, if so it's okay. 🤗

Doing all that makes it worse but in their hormone season they will just be hormonal in general which is why its recommended to follow the second half which is things to help calm them down ☺️ Also sorry the last part of your comment I didnt understand what you meant?

Sounds like a conure 😅 with my conure i start to shut off lights and close window blinds. Not its pitch dark or anything but its low lit where I can see at least. Ill pick up my conure in my hands, tell her goodnight, put her in and then cover her sleeping space and make everything completely dark. You can try this out, they dont fly in the dark, in case they do be ready to flip the light switch on quickly so they dont hurt themselves

Should I seperate my male and female pair, they’re very attached but she keeps laying eggs

No I wouldnt that would cause a lot of stress. Instead take away any area they are using to nest and lay eggs. Let me know if that doesnt work and we can walk through other options

Have you tried fake eggs? You exchange the fake ones for the real ones while your bird is not looking and she shouldn't realise. Then, when she loses interest, you remove them
