Birds are cute and only deserve the best.

I love cute birds, which is why I hate starlings being bullys, beating them up and running them off my property.
>>1143766
Every year some finches nest up on an old broken speaker system outside my house and crows come and eat the eggs every year. Shit sucks because they have always gotten around our barriers We've tried wire meshes but the finches can't get in very well and don't stay long. They don't seem to like the birdhouse we set up either, they really like that old speaker.
Any suggestions?
>>1143778
put a birdhouse in the speaker?

what is this bird? what is it like having a bird like this? does it shit everywhere? does it leave feathers all over? do you have to be really careful when you leave the house?
>>1143709

What the hell? Birds are so much cuter than kittens!
give me the honest truth on owning birds. how easy are they compared to cats?
>>1144773
>>1145023
White Bellied Caique. It used to shit all over the place but we've potty trained it. It doesnt drop feathers that often. Yes. We havent clipped her wings in a long time. We take her outside on her harness.
>>1144789
they used to be scared to death of her. The gray one is her best friend, they cuddle all the time.
She's my wingman
>>1145741
They require A LOT of attention. Owning a parrot is like owning a toddler.
>>1146140
how exactly does one potty train a bird? I know some species are extremely smart, but not crapping wherever you want seems to me to be more difficult for birds then other animals since I assume they instinctively have no need to hold it in at all.
>>1143460
Is it...stuck?
>>1143537
What kind of bird is that, and is it domestic?
>>1145050
>what exactly was 'better' with this version?
other than higher resolution and smaller size?
>>1143490
anyone have the webm where the guy randomly smashes the shit out of that birds cage and it freaks the fuck out
>>1146518
No, it's just weird.
>>1146359
This is a manly as fuck bird. If I wasn't scared of how terrifying it is, I'd want to own one. I don't have balls big enough to try, though.
>>1143460
hahaha
I love the other bird being like, what the fuck, why are you like that?
>>1146353
That's a green heron. Watching them fish is the coolest thing.
So maybe here is the right place to ask.
I've owned a cockatiel for quite some time and it has always been antisocial. Likely from being kept in the cage for too long.
I feel terrible for not taking it out more often but it freaks out when I put my hands near it. Plus I have cats that will try to attack it so I have to shut them into another room and they really don't like that.
Anyway, I want to start making an effort to tame the bird more and, ideally, have it out of the cage almost all the time in my bedroom.
How exactly would I start getting the bird to trust me? I hope it isn't too late to start.
>>1143561
"You Died" edit, when?
>>1146361

>>1146613

>>1146587
It shouldn't be too late to start.
To start off with you can stand near the cage or have your hand inside it or just outside it with the door open. Some days it might be comfortable enough to sit there with you there. Other days (and earlier on) it might still 'freak out' in the presence. The name of the game is patience and consistency.
Once it gets acclimated with your hand it should be an easier process after that. Giving it special treats and making it so that you feed them (or even its regular seed diet) with you/your hand nearby will make it more comfortable and build trust. Once it gets more comfortable with you and your hand, just keep making small steps while being patient and consistent.
There might be days where it'll still be scared or it might bite. You can't react negatively to this other than a small punishment to help curb the behavior (treat taken away immediately, etc) but as someone who has owned multiple birds, biting is an inevitability even with one that can trusts you completely.
>>1146345
What mythical creature is this?
>>1143709
ANKLE BREAKER
>>1146511
started by taking her to the toilet every morning and giving her treats and positive reinforcement when she pooped in it. pretty soon she would hold her shits in the morning. Then did the same thing for when she was out of the cage by having her go to the cage to shit. Then the same with her perch. They learn pretty quick.
>>1146580
very true. I'll probably die before my parrot does
>>1146587
Start putting little treats tucked away in nooks and crannies in your bird's toys and perches. Should keep it from getting bored and give it something fun to do. You just gotta start making your bird have fun. You can also build it a perch and have it out of the cage a bit. I built a rolling base with a couple of branches nailed together and i just roll it around from room to room for my bird to sit on.

Why didn't you try to return it to its nest?
Handling the eggs / young of a bird does not cause the mother to reject it, despite the myth
>>1147514
how young is it? I fed mine cat food mixed with water until is was like an oatmeal consistency.
>>1147517
i crush up the worms and add water to make paste for him. he is very small with big eye hairs.

That is a surefire way to break your birbs legs in the event that it tries to fly off or slips off the perch

can we get more crows and ravens? I get all giddy. Id love to own one someday
>>1148517
the fuck is wrong with the bird? I know they mimic but what did that bird hear?
>>1148880
cockatoos are crazy like that
they stick with a word they like it and repeat it at random pitches. you gotta remember birds are intelligent and cockatoos are quite intelligent too, so if he's used to seeing his owner say "fuck" everytime something bad happens, like drops something or whatever, then he may understand it's something you say when u dont like something
idk man, birbs are like that, what can i explain
>>1148880
He heard a fucking shitty owner and connected it with anger or hate. When he fucked that cage up he got excited and hated the cage so started using that lexicon.
>>1147469

>>1143565
do they actually like that?
>>1143778
Shoot with like a pellet gun or something.
>>1148995
they fucking love it
>>1148880
Birds don't like cages like that since without a corner to hide in they get very stressed and anxious. The man was rescuing the bird from a bad owner and smashed the old cage. Must have been very cathartic for the bird.
>>1146345
Is it trying to crack open an egg to get some lunch or what? It sure is weird to have one's instincts confused like that.
>>1148517
Do birds really like corners? When I did a web search, all I got was blogs and stuff linking to this video.
If a bird does indeed prefer corners (like mice do), would it matter if the corner is a wire cage that doesn't offer a solid wall that blocks vision? If the purpose of the corner is so the bird can "hide" or put its back to the corner when it's feeling insecure, how would that matter if the bird is in a wire cage?
>>1144725

be careful about trying to raise wild baby birds. They could potentially imprint on people and be way worse off. They tend to lack decent homing capabilities and just end up randomly moving around areas looking for the nearest human activity to beg for food from.
I have dealt with three birds like that already, just randomly show up at our house during the summer cause we do the most amount of outside activity in the area. All of them exhibited pretty heavy signs that they were hand fed by people as chicks. One of them was a robin and I managed to teach it over a period of a few days that shifting around dead wet leaves means worms. Saw him less and less often over a period of a few weeks before he finally stopped showing up for good.
The other two were both doves, one ended up drowning in the neighbor's pond after the neighbor accidently droppe an object on it breaking it's wing. The other disappeared suddenly one day. I have a feeling he got adopted by the seasonal folk who come and go out of a near by house, they were VERY loud that day he vanished. Whatever the case, glad he isn't my problem any more, the robin I could train to fend for it self, the doves however are much harder to teach how to forage for seeds.
A crow or raven can be handled similar to the robin if he shows signs of too much human dependancy, but just for future knowledge, it can be bad in the long run. It's best to try your best to get it back to mother.
>>1148995
It's fuckin purring
>>1147469
Anyone know what kind of bird that is?
>>1151166
VR when?
>>1146518
That's a juvenile Australian Magpie (you can tell by the fluffy feathers on the chest), probably only a year or so old.
It's just having a bit of fun. They're very smart (for birds) so they do all kinds of wacky shit e.g. they do stuff like play tug-of-war using sticks with other birds.
>>1148995
I know a guy who took in an injured crow that can't live in the wild anymore (can't fly anymore but otherwise fine, the wildlife people were just going to have it euth'd but he decided to keep it as a pet instead).
Apparently they're very cuddly birds. It likes to ride around on his shoulder and huddle up against his head.
They're also very smart, I can't remember the exact story but it tricked him out of a whole cheeseburger.
>>1151931
Actually, they showed off a VR game at E3 that was 'capture the prey' as a bunch of eagles firing Screamin Eagle! screams at each other.
>>1143561

I've heard birds like to use their beaks to inspect things and feel around, and occasionally they'll nibble on objects. But what if the bird bites whenever you try to hold it? How do you get it to not bite?
>>1146164
except you can lock it in a cage and teach it bad words
>>1143555
They are. Especially after birds shit smeared all over the screen.

Crows are remarkably intelligent.
http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/01/crows-the-tail-pulling-food-stealing-bird-prodigies/
>For instance, a common behavior in many species is creating hidden caches of food to return to later. Some species remember where they’ve hidden their food, while others just rely on stumbling across caches by chance. When Clayton started out in crow research, it still wasn’t even clear that crows were among the species that remember their caches.
>But it turned out that they weren’t just remembering where they’d hidden their food; they were remembering when they’d hidden it and whether the food was still fresh. Clayton found that scrub jays, a species of corvid, didn’t bother returning to caches that they knew had passed their use-by dates.
>Even more impressively, she found that the jays also paid attention to who happened to be around when they cached their food and how that impacted the safety of the cache. If a crow cached its food and knew that another crow was observing it, it was likely to go back at a later stage and move the cache—but it depended on who was in the audience.
>“They only do it if the onlooker is a threat,” says Clayton. “If the onlooker is a mate with whom they share caches, they don't bother to do it.”

It's kinda obvious when you misuse homonyms and can't fucking type, stupid corvid.

>>1149079
They like corners. It gives them a sense of security.
I've volunteered for a parrot re home place for a bit. The ones that grew up in round cages usually have serious behavior issues like feather plucking or they are stare quietly off into space...which is deff not normal for a parrot.

>He learned like 50 words and was very calm, friendly, talkative and non-agressive towards new people / children.
>Grandmother died at the age 58.
Now two years after her death, the only thing he says is "hello", "goodnight" and "darling".
He barely comes out of his cage anymore
He misses her.
>>1154641
Similar story here, with an african grey parrot.
Shit sucks, but what can you do. They live so long that it's almost inevitable.
>>1147502
Too late to release it back most likely. Many species of Corvids such as ravens and crows actually push their young out of the nest before they can fly. They then watch from a distance as the young bird plays around and stuff. It's like when humans let their kids play in the front yard. Many people don't know this about corvids and think the parents simply abandoned their young. This is not true. Please, before trying to 'rescue' a young crow or raven, check to see if there are any other crows/ravens near by. If there are, it is likely that everything is fine.
