Parrot Cage

He’s a blue fronted amazon. We even taught him how to stick your hand in the cage & eat a crackers. But why does he crab my hand with his claw, does he want to bite me? Or is he just interested in my hand?

My mom adopted this Quaker parrot Friday while searching for a larger cage for our other birds. He has been very sweet, and not temperamental at all with my mom and I. He tries to bite anyone else.

However, today, he bit me four times! I played with him all day without incident, but after my mom came home and played with him, he refused to get off her shoulder by chewing the fabric of her shirt. This is his way of warning us when he wants to bite. She put him on the ottoman opposite us, and he climbed right up my shoulder when I told him to step up. I reached to pet him as usual, and he started getting defensive. He nipped my shoulder, because he missed my shirt, and I shouted in surprise. He then almost fell off, and grabbed my neck with his beak so he wouldn’t fall, but it really hurt!

We (bird included) were all very upset. I’m a bit nervous, but willing to keep working with him. What might have caused this, and what can I do to prevent this and similar things in the future?

hello…i have an almost 6 months old baby parrot (african grey). he comes from a breeder and loves to be pet and steps up as well etc

the problem is he won’t step up when it’s time to go back into his cage at night to sleep. he knows exactly how to do it but he knows we are going to put him in his cage and prefers to sleep in our living room. we do not want that because he usually wakes up early (5.30 am or so) and we are not awake until an hour later and don’t want him unsupervised as he is very curious and adventurous and we are worried that he might get hurt.

he loves his cage when he is inside (plays with his toys, swings, eats) so it’s not that he’s scared of his cage or anything. he just prefers to stay in the living room where all of us are.

sometimes when he’s hungry it helps to offer him a piece of apple and then he’ll step up but at night he’s usually not hungry.

the thing is that he aleady knows that i desperately want him to go sleep at night so he plays with me a bit- he will lift his foot (to show he’s ready to step up) and when i come to pick him up he puts the foot down again and bows his head waiting for me to scratch it. so he is just doing it to get my attention but still won’t step up.

i just don’t know what to do about it. when i take him out of his cage he always steps up.

he knows exactly that he can go out again the next day….at the moment i wake up early every morning to supervise him as I’m scared he might get hurt. then he will go back to his cage because he is hungry and then go out again an hour later or so. but i’d prefer him spend the night in his cage and have breakfast in his cage and THEN go out…at the moment i have holidays (starting university in october) so i spend lots of time with him.

any ideas ?
I don’t want to towel him. my dad once had to grab my other grey parrot to put him in the cage and the parrot disliked him ever since. he just never forgot about it. i don ‘t want my parrot to hate me isn’t there any other way ?

when i go to university there are still other family members to play with him and i will spend time with him every day as well.

I have the opertunity to get a paip of bonded quaker parrots, with the cage and toys. Recently my moms other bird died and she has been waqnting another bird. She had a canary before. Do you think these birds would be a good choice, or are they really loud. My mom doesnt mind singing, chirping, talking ect.., But She wouldnt like a lot of screaching. My brothers girlfriend has an african grey that she brings over and my mom just loves it. Do you think these would be a good choice of a bird for my mom?

I let my parrot sit on top of her cage alot of the time, she sits right behind me. Randomly she will get spooked at nothing and jump off onto the couch or like today, we haven’t clipped her wings in 3 weeks she flew off into another room. Nothing was moved or put near her cage to scare her, she was randomly scared. Is this normal? It only happens with her, none of our other birds. I have 7 others, she was our first and is an amazon who is about 3yrs old, not our oldest. Also, she is sometimes scared of blankets, but she likes being covered up at night with them and likes to lay with us under them at night when watching tv. Is it normal to parrots to sometimes get spooked? Maybe they sense something?
She pretty much freezes and will let you touch her, move her wings, pet her, she doesn’t lift her crown feathers or move or even blink when she is scared. Is something wrong with her or is this normal? I really would like to know, this happens ever so often and I want to know if she may be sick so I can take her to the vet. thanks
