The vet commented that he seemed to be plucking. I personally have seen him take two small feathers out of his chest, but I cannot account for the rest. He seems to be preening aggressivly (for lack of a better term). The discolored stools have stopped (thank goodness) his pellets do have some red c...

We don't use sprays in our living area where we keep the birds, and they type of bedding in his cage is the same. Those are some great suggestions and I will try them. Thank you all for the great thoughts and tips. BTW..moving his cage seemed to help a bit. We noticed a few feathers, but not nearly ...

So the bloody stools have stopped (thank goodness), but he's plucking, horribly! He's not hurting himself, but while cleaning his cage yesterday, I found a TAIL FEATHER! We've had him just short of a month, and the plucking has only been recent. We haven't moved, haven't changed cages. We had his ca...

Matt just phoned and Mojito is going to be alright. The doctor said it's most likely stress related. He's been plucking a little at his chest, but nothing to be over concerned about. We are going to try softer music at home and leave his cage open during the day to see if that will assist with him c...

Not that I recall to be honest. When we got home he had a bit of peach (fresh, not canned or jarred) but that was it. His seed has a bit of red in it, but it's what we've given him since we adopted him. Matt is taking him to our bird vet today, please keep your fingers and toes crossed for us. Thank...

We left for one night and when we came home Mojito had a regular green/white stool, then the next two after were a watery red color. They were fine before we left, and I have not observed any unusual behavior with him. We noticed Friday night he seemed to be "stretching" his beak a lot, wh...

Thank you, he is clever. I'm trying to teach him to speak, but am not sure if he's too old. He is pretty calm, and surprisingly calm even after the Popsicle. I'm going to try to teach him more using the popsicle as a reward and will keep you all posted as we go.

Also this weekend, I am going to blend some fruits together and freeze the blend in small ice trays for him, that way he can have a tasty treat that is good for him.

So we can't say for certain if it's "GOOD" to give them popsicles or not. I think almost anything in moderation is fine. We don't over load him by any means with artifical foods like that. I would think that every now and then is fine. As you can see, we make Mojito "earn" his. H...

So it's Wednesday evening. The child is in bed, the bf is at a club meeting, and it's just me and Mojito (my 4yr old Male Green IRN). I decide, "ya know what, I want a popsicle." So I walk to the freezer and grab a popsicle that is as green as the bird on my shoulder. I sit calmly down on ...

Thank you so much for the compliments. He is gorgeous, and I have a feeling he might be well aware of that fact! LOL I was originally going to name him "Kiwi", but Mojito seemed more him. Matt (bf) was very happy about the decision in names. Kiwi sounds too much like Ki Ki. I am sure we wi...
