    Hi all, I just thought I’d do a little introduction here (as I’ll probably be on here looking through the threads a lot). I’ve been looking to purchase a bird for a couple of months and recently found parrotlets, I’ve been in contact with a breeder for the past few weeks and have finally...
  2. Your Parrotlet's Health
    Hi all It's been a while since I've posted here. Tiki has been doing very well, but there have been fires about an hour away from us and it's very smoky outside. We have air filters running inside, but I am still worried for Tik. Does anyone know how dangerous fire smoke is for plets? If there...

    I’m getting closer to getting my parrotlet, but before I bring him home, I want to know how to proceed with handling. When he first comes home, should I give him space for the first day? How involved is too involved? Can hands go in the cage within the first 24 hours with a hand-tamed...

    I'm thinking about getting a parrotlet this summer, and would like to build a cage for him that: A) Is functional and safe for my bird B) Looks nice. I don't like the way all wire cages look. C) Contains messes. I've had budgies in the past and they got seeds EVERYWHERE around their cage. I'd...
  7. Parrotlet Talk
    My little boy, Roti, has been with me for under a year but I haven't done too much work with him because of school and he doesn't really like the rest of my family. Now I am researching parrotlets like crazy to make him as happy and comfortable as he can be, and seeing some mistakes I need to...

    We brought Sammie home yesterday from a wonderful lady who hand raised him. He is 8 weeks old and fully weaned. She doesn't feel that she has the undivided attention he needs as she has 2 other parrot-type birds. He is sweet and friendly from the first interaction and is stepping up the pace...
