that poor baby.  someone just dumped her on you??!?

i’d get her to a vet immediately for a full checkup.

Please help someone. I just want him to stop being so obsessed with Petey and I want him to stay in my room. I’ve given him well over enough chances with Petey and yet he refuses to stop and I really need help.

Thank you Laura!

Yeah I gave him a toy and he humps that lol but even when I’m sitting in bed giving him tons of attention he kind of tries to get a way and jumps off the bed crying and when I let him out he runs across the house to sit by my grams door crying so I pick him up and say ” No ” and then put him back in bed he just repeats this over and over and it’s almost like he doesn’t want me or anyone but Petey and Petey doesn’t want him at all and even when I let him out, he runs down the steps and just walks around and runs back up the steps without going to the bathroom. He won’t even play with me anymore he just wants Petey and it’s sad

he’s still a baby.

leash him to you when you can supervise, crate him when you can’t, and get him neutered. it won’t FIX the problem but it may help.

This is weird, I think site is a bit glitchy – on my screen it says I asked this question, but I haven’t. Can someone tell me if it looks to them like I’ve asked this or if it is just on my screen?

I didn’t ask this, I’m not sure why it says I did. I think it’s a glitch and my name has been put on someone else’s question.

Thanks for your reply. This is the line I was thinking of taking so it has confirmed everything for me. The only thing I can’t do and am desperate to do is to take them for a walk together as the puppy hasn’t had his injections as yet. Thank you so much for your advice I shall certainly keep this in mind whilst settling everybody in!

Hi Ashley,
I just love green cheeks!! I used to have several and they are just wonderful. Nandays tend to be a  little bit larger as well as more “possessive” and more boisterous birds than the green cheeks. But you can certainly try them together. I would NOT recommend just sticking them together in a cage and hoping for the best. First, you’d want to keep them isolated for at least 2 weeks until or until you can take your new bird to a vet for a general exam/check up and to rule out any disease.

Next, once your vet clears him as healthy I would be sure to closely montior them when they are near each other. You will want to be sure they each have their OWN cage to be in. Putting them in the same area, but not directly near each other is a good first step., then moving the cages closer if you’d like. Until they are next to each other. I’d never put the cages so close that they can grab one another through the bars, so be sure there is still a good gap.

Once you’ve had them near one another and they seem interested but not screaming or trying to attack, then you could try introducing them together on neutral territory,,,like a playgym. Always ALWAYS stay near so you can step in and remove one if they start to hurt each other.

I always keep birds in their own space when I’m not around –unless you have an aviary type situation with lots of room for them..they really need their own areas unless they are a very bonded pair. So until that happens make sure you have two cages.

In general I’ve found birds either love each other or hate each other. Usually no in betweens. You def are taking a risk with bringing a new friend home, either it will work ,or it will fail. But there is no way of telling how they will react based on how the green cheek is behaving in the store with a bird it already knows.

Good luck!!!!

Hi Beth,

Sorry your dog isn’t feeling well. It’s definitely a good idea to go see your vet when vomiting happens routinely or more than once. It could have been the treats, but who knows. Try offering boiled chicken and rice, or withhold food for the day and offer tomorrow and see if things change. Did you change the regular food that he’s getting , that could be it too, unless you have kept that the same. To be safe, I’d go see your vet.

good luck!

Hi Beth, ahh,,could be the move/neighbors yard…maybe monitor him when he’s outside and see if he’s eating any plants or bugs? Our dog always throws up from eating stink bugs lately. Good luck!!
