    Hi, I'm a college student in SC and am looking to get a parrotlet. I'm more of a homebody, so between studies and preferring to stay home in general I'm sure I can give more than enough time for a parrotlet.

    So some back story: Gwen is my first bird. She is just over a year old, and I've had her for almost 11 months now. She's a little female parrotlet and when I got her she was sweet and gentle and snuggly. Now she's not. Lately she's intolerable. She bites anything that moves, she won't eat her...

    Hello. I got my parrotlet a week ago, and I have a wedding to go to this weekend and will be out of town from Friday-Sunday. We are bonding well, but he's definitely testing his limits. Do I take him with me on this trip or should I find a capable bird-sitter to come check in on him over the...
