  1. Your Parrotlet's Health
    Hello, I have an 11 year old Parrotlet who began overplucking her feathers around November of 2023, and its only gotten worse since. The top reasons we saw when we looked it up were stress or malnutrition, so we put her mainly on pellets and only gave her seed every two days or so. She lived...

    Hi everyone! I bought my first Parrotlet (and pet bird, besides chickens) yesterday. I spent a solid few weeks researching, buying supplies, and talking to our local bird store owner about the pros and cons of Parrotlets, budgies, and Lovebirds. I came home yesterday with Louie, a 3 month old...

    Some days ago, I got a 3-month-old hand-fed baby; he can stand on my hand for just seconds. And then he flies around my room. Also, Whenever I let him go outside the cage, He always wants to go back as soon as possible. I think he is still not willing to socialize with me. What should I do to...

  11. Your Parrotlet's Health
    Hey guys! I'm a first time parrotlet mom (but I've had other birds), and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can for my little Scuttle-butt! His hatch-day is 7/14/21, so that would make him roughly 3 months old. From what I've read, they shouldn't molt until a year right? He's got pins on...

    Just received this adorable little baby. Third day here and first day in the cage. I’m worried that he’s got so puffy. I know that sometimes means birds are sick or they’re cold. I just can’t tell and I’m so worried!

    Hey everyone! :) So my baby p’lett Billie is about 9-10 weeks old (not hand-raised) and I’ve had her for a month now. Whenever she’s training and millet is involved she’s perfectly happy and responsive and she loves head scratches so I feel our bond is already quite strong. However, when she...

    Hey everyone, does everyone like my new T-shirt? I love it!!! But this thread isn't about that... Your advice worked and Dodi will step up on my finger willingly, but will jump off or fly off of it. Is there a way to keep them on? Or is it just time and him feeling comfortable with my...
  15. Parrotlet Talk
    Hello! my baby girl Billie is around 6-7 weeks old and learning to fly. I usually leave her cage door open after her breakfast to give her the option of exploring my room (while supervised of course) Tonight I had some troubles trying to get her back in her cage when I had to go to work. All...

    Hello everyone!! Newcomer here, I’ve been reading forums for awhile now so thought I’d finally make an account as I may be finally getting a parrotlet soon! I’m a 21 year old living in South Australia for context. So, I have a question. Tomorrow I’ll finally be meeting a few baby pacific...

    I have a 8 month old male parrotlet that started to make a very weird slightly high whimpering sound almost sounds like a puppy. Should I be worried? I never heard him make those noises till I put him near my ear to listen closely to be sure but he also makes these noises when perching and such...

    Hi everyone. I'm a new bird mum and when an opportunity rose just under two weeks ago to have our beautiful Dodi I couldn't resist. He's a gorgeous Pacific Parrotlet. I love him so much. He is 6 months old, his previous owner bought him to train him and then sell on but didn't get round to...

    Tofu just finished her second round of antibiotics and I can tell she's feeling better because she's so vocal just chattering and calling for mama's attention like crazy! (I'm not complaining). I took all of the advice given and got her a warm mist humidifier- even got the extra filters ahead of...
