What? Birds that are polite enough to wait until you are awake? No way, not falling for that one.

Every. Freaking. Morning. And afternoon, and evening too now that I think about it. My birds are adorable assholes.

It's weird, my birds somehow grok when I first come down that I'm not really awake. Then I get back up from chair, and they lose their shit.

The joys of owning a bird!

Grew up with an orange winged Amazon. This is nearly all birds. Payback for caging them is my guess.

It's social and attention behavior. Noise gets attention, flock-mates making noise means it's safe for me to make noise too.

What is up with that? I used to have one, all friendly, then one day nothing but a fluff ball of hissing hate. Never nice again.

I've heard it helps to have more than one because they're flock animals and being alone their whole life drives them crazy.

Trim their wing feathers, they get an attitude when they know they have freedom to fly around.

Had a male and female one, myself. Guy was a mean ass, female was sooo affectionate.

Male. The only time he reverted to being friendly was the time his water bottle got vapor locked and he was thirsty.

I had a boy and he loved me, anyone else should fuck themselves in a fire, tho. While he whistled the Andy Griffith theme to them...

Yeah, I think they get frustrated. Mine mellowed a bit after discovering masturbation...

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

We had two. I think they have to be handled constantly or else they can turn belligerent . I'm no expert though.

9 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

That may be it; not handled enough, even though I made a point to spend time with him, he was mostly in his cage.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yeah, it was probably fear from not being handled. The all yellow ones are also known to have night terrors.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I remember night terrors. Mine was a Lutino, and would have them sometimes. A nightlight seemed to help.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Some of that could be hormones. My male tiel keeps thinking it is spring/mating season & turns into a little bastard.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

No kidding, mine was male and he'd throw up for me every spring. Got so bad we had to give him meds to stop it.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Aww, yeah I'm looking into meds for my guy. Oddly enough he's not fixated on me or any of his toys. He regurgitates on his own leg... a lot

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

YUP! He's making himself barf for someone/thing. Meds should knock that behavior out for a season. Good luck!

so, spaghetti made it upsetti?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Actually, it could be because the pot she was cooking it in was covered in teflon, which birds can die of if inhaled. Thus the screaming.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Probably because it wanted some.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well birds are sensitive to airborn stuff. For example being in the same room where teflon is being used can kill them.

Yep. My "dad" managed to kill an African Grey by constantly smoking in her space. She was barely 3 years old.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

What?!

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Well, if its burning it can, but just cooking isnt necessarily quite as dangerous. Just dont let it overheat and burn otherwise it fumes.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Perhaps, I just know that happened to me once while working pet retail so always try to caution people.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The problem is that when it's even mildly damaged, the ridges of the scratched/burnt area overheat and fume.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Just stay with stainless, it's more reliable, more durable, and if you keep the heat nothing actually sticks anyway.

I have 1 he sleeps in a small cage and I have to clean the cage every week or so. I'd say don't get a bird if you don't have time.

I change their newspaper every three days, and once a week get a brush with soap and get the poop of the bars and perches
