Hmmm...if you'd like (and you haven't already), I can hook you up with some really good websites on the care, feeding *and* mental health of parrots. Some people get the birds because they are smart and very pretty, but don't *truly* understand what they need to be happy. Just trying to help. [img]smile.gif[/img] Too many of these birds end up in rescues because the family can't take the sqwauking.

Miss Sedai, here's the thing. My bird got beat on early in his life, and we've had him for 3-4 years now and he still bites and snaps at us, and still screams even when we do play with him. I am really close to getting rid of him though, waking up to screaming every morning is becoming a little more than I can bear, and I need sleep because I'm already a borderline insomniac.

Oh, come now, I've got you beaten that easily? How you disappoint me Vask, I suppose we can always get Q'alooaith to replace you

I hate to see your bird get passed around again as it will only cause more psychological damage.

If you wish, here are three very good sites (from what I can tell) that may help you, your family AND your bird out.

The first one, in particular, even has a forum where you could ask people questions just like here, only for parrots. The second one would be one option if you *do* end up having to give him away. At least you could give him to someone who can help him if it comes to that. And the third site has some helpful information on the psyche of parrots. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I do hope this helps. It's sad to hear that poor bird has had such a bad time of it, but also that it's disrupting *your* life as well. Parrots live too long to let them stay so upset.

Never thought *you* could run out of steam since you're so full of hot air. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Ooh the long-awaited chance to STRIKE back at the hated smartass. What a glorious moment this is for Lady Sedai - I hope all your Knights in Shining Armour are standing by clapping! harr harr

Gangrene - I meant I couldn't be bothered to be my usual self, but I managed it for one more post as you see. Guess I'm just tired... and how can Q-what'shisface replace me? He has no style... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, yeah, Vasky. I know...I took the *easy* shot. I will strive to do better in future.

Well, since he can verbally tear someone to shreds, I'd figure I'd give him the benefit of the doubt Vasketomy

If I were a bird in a cage I'd screem 'til I drove everybody nuts too! That's just plain cruel. Why not set it free for Christmas!!
