How is Scooby doing?

They look great! Do you know if the dark green or turquoise have any splits? Then we can talk what will come out of them. Were they dna sexed? If so, what lab? They have closed bands (that means the breeder is less likely to mix up test results/records)? Greywing and ino are genes to avoid when...

Linnies molt at a much slower rate, so it may take some time to regrow compared to other species. Just remember that hormone cycles can change everything. When you see the parrotlet molt, know that on the other side of it.... if she is looking amazing and like velvet.... that is breeding...

I had a lovebird (Eddie, my heart bird) for 16 years that is a species known for aggression (like a parrotlet) and he lived with Linnies for 10 years, but they were 10' long walk in flights. He thought he was a human, so it was never a problem. This is the exception and not the rule. I think you...

Congrats on the new Linnie! Was she hand-fed? Parrotlets, though small.... pack a lot of attitude. It can be tricky to have them in the same space. Caging together I wouldn't recommend. If they have spent some time in the same room for a while, you could try monitored out of cage time in a...

This guy ended up being a scammer, so he was deleted, but I was curious if you members can still see the post. If so - look at the photo of the bird in the picture..... notice anything unusual?

I have missed some messages here, and for that I apologize. They have all been great! You sound just like the type of person we celebrate to join raising this species. We could set up a separate thread on pairing and/or the use of violet if anybody is interested in the topic. Short answer...

Sorry I missed this exciting message. 17 years old for a Linnie is remarkable! Tell us more. If this post is asking if you should get a friend for him, I could offer an opinion. If it is a post to tell what is going on with this really interesting story..... I'm intrigued and looking for more...

If pulled when getting pins, that isn't early... it is actually later than many.

Looks like a lovely Turquoise guy.

Hello and Welcome! Congrats on the babies! I see you have what looks like all Greywing there. Some appear sf (single factor) and some df (double factor) - they can be easily visually sexed depending on parentage. Was just the dad the greywing? These the same clutch? Always nice to early...

Thank you for the update! I have been thinking of you all. Over-preening can be from many things, do you know at what age she was pulled for handfeeding? I read she doesn't like baths, but it really is the secret to a beautiful feathered Linnie. When I say bath, I really mean a SOAKING. With a...

Happy news!

What is your location?

I am sorry I am late to the thread. Ok, so.... there is a lot here. Lets start with the sick budgie: what did the vet diagnose, and what was the medication and dose prescribed. Sex, and age? Alone? Have a pic? Lets answer that and then we can move on, but one last easy one possibly.... you are...

Sorry for the delay in answering, I was down for the count with the flu. Glad things are better. Good work figuring out how to stop the burrowing! If the grass hut thing is nest like, I would ditch it. Do 14 hours of sleep year round. Austerity diet is good when they are in perfect condition...

I am going to assume you have a single bird, as with two.... it is monkey see monkey do and is much easier. 1. Pick veggies high in Vitamin A as your main fresh feeding goal. Those that are red, orange and yellow are generally highest in Vit A. 2. Pick a cut size and stick with it for at least...

They are biological siblings from different clutches I think I recall? So that would make Kingston at least 3-4 months on average younger?

I see a post for one in Northern CA. Shipping one in with the airlines is another option. I am working on a breeder list to sticky in the classified section by the end of the year.
