Small bird, endless squawk

Turn down the volume. If you listen closely, you can hear the reinflating squeak toy sound as he inhales.

I am looking for a friend for my Conure, I live in Oshkosh WI, Contract agreement is what I am looking for?

Question by Rose: I am looking for a friend for my Conure, I live in Oshkosh WI, Contract agreement is what I am looking for?
I am looking for a companion for my Green cheek Conure (Charlie), he used to have a female Sulfur Cockatoo (May) as a best friend.
Sadly I had to rehome her, but luckily she went to a good friend of mine, so I at least know she is in good hands.
Anyway let me tell you alittle about my Conure, I got Charlie from a nice couple from craigslist through a contract agreement instead of a fee,
with the promise he would have a permanent loving caring home,
and if anything happened he would go back to them, which I do keep my promises.
I work with him everyday, he is getting very good with talking, he loves to gab,laugh and loves to dance.
I have got him to quit with his biting habit. I hand feed him, so every time I put my hand in the cage he knows he will get a treat. Charlie is a quiet little parrot,
If I want quiet I just cover the cage with a sheet. What I am looking for is something in the size Quaker parrot, Conure, ect.
It would be nice to get one that gabs alittle, but not really important. The bird doesn’t have to have a cage, if it does that’s fine. So if someone is trying to find a home
for their feathered friend. Please let me know I would love to adopt another such as Charlie.
I am looking for a contract agreement, I feel it it better then a fee, anyone can pay money out of their pocket it just doesn’t guarantee a good home. I wonder if their are any rescues that do contract agreements that would be nice.

Answer by Trapper
Even shelters charge a fee. That is the only way they can survive.

What is good, fast, easy to to feed a Quaker Parrot?

Question by jon: What is good, fast, easy to to feed a Quaker Parrot?
My Quaker Parrot started plucking all his feathers out so I took him to a vet and they told me that I should be feeding him anything except for onions and avocados. That was a surprise because the pet store told to feed him seeds only. I always keep seed in his cage so if he gets hungry but I also try to give him some fresh fruit and vegetables everyday. Sometimes I am not home for a day or two and I doubt the people I live will take the time to give him fresh fruit. I know I am probably not the best person in the world to have this bird but he has been my friend for the last 10 years so I really hate to give him up. Plus in the near future I may get to be home more often so I will have time to take better care of him. My question is whats something that I can give him before I leave so he will have something to eat other than seeds? I was thinking some kind of trail mix, with dried apples, bananas, and raisins. Is this a bad Idea or is there something else that would be better?
thanx
So is there any good premixed food that will stay good for a long time that I can give him? I always try to give him fresh food but I just don’t always have time. What would be better than seeds?

thanks again
I know he probably gets a little lonely and that also has to do with his feather plucking. He does have lots of toys but the odd thing is he never plays with them. He has toys that are two years old that look like their brand new. That just seems odd because most birds with play with and basically shred their toys within a month or two. Could their be a reason he doesn’t play with his toys? Is there any thing else that could make him pluck his feathers?

thanks again
I never thought of feeding him a can of mixed vegetables before, that is a good idea. What about a bag of frozen mixed vegetables? I think frozen vegetables would last longer than an open can. Could I just microwave a handful everyday day or two to give him or is that a bad idea?
thanks

Try some tubers, like sweet potato. A lot less sweet than granola or anything else and can last for a few days without turning bad.

Quaker lays on her back

For most birds, it’s very unnatural for them to lay on their backs and it takes a lot of trust and training to get them to do this. It’s my favorite behavior to teach a bird, and I have three that will do it for me. Zyda’s camera shy, though, and Anica just skips through all the steps and rolls over on her own, so I decided Adaryn would be best for showing purposes.
