I hang out here to get my parrot fix with having parrots while being away from them. Even if it's just the other room. *cough*
(I don't have parrots as soon as I’m not with them, you see?)
I have a parrot and also subscribe to r/crows because they are awesome too but don't have them. Here's something for your parrot files

She says hello! My name is Itiy-Bity-Bitey.
I do the same thing! I’d really like a bird but I know I’m nowhere near the point where I’d feel stable/available enough to care for one so I just watch a lot of cute parrot videos 😅
Me too!! I’ve had budgies and a sun conure in the past. I love birds but have decided that I’ll likely never have one again. I hang here to see pictures, become educated, and laugh at the memories your stories provoke.
Yes, me! I've been down the parrot rabbit hole for a month or two, doing research and making plans. I don't have a parrot, but maybe some time within the next year I will.
I have to say that I'm stuck on the fence, though. I am confident that I could take care of a parrot, but may also start working a hybrid schedule soon that would require me to work in an office two or three days each week. I'd be out of the house for all of their waking hours on those days, so that has me concerned that I wouldn't be around enough to keep the bird happy and provide it with enough stimulation.
Does anyone have any advice on how to properly care and provide for a bird as a busy working professional? I would let the bird free roam any time I'm home, but those potential three days full gone worry me.
I have been seeking parrot content since the early days of YouTube. I remember it being super hard to find. So I am grateful we now have this whole global community sharing tons of adorable content.
I work full time and my husband is hybrid , 2 days in the office and my girls are just fine. On the days hes in the office they are out from 6am until 8am with us and then from the moment we get home until their bed time .
On the days he works from home they are out all day unless they start being tiny terrors (usually around lunch time) and they get put in their cages for a couple of hours until I get home and then they are out all evening
At the weekends or when we are on holiday but not going anywhere ,they are out all day unless I want a nap or going out .
They have a rotation of toys to keep them happy plus forage boxes to keep them occupied In their cages. They can see and talk to each other as well (they are different species and Albie can be a bit of a bully so they aren't cage together)
I had an Amazon for 35 years until he died several years ago. Before that with my ex we had a houseful of Macaws, cockatoos and conures. This is the first time in 45 years I haven't had a birb companion but I'm too old and now live where it's (somewhat) prohibited. I get to travel to the jungle and see them in the wild and this sub is a blessing for former birb junkies.
Me. I looooove all these beautiful birdies, but know I’d never have the patience to care for one. Thanks to all you lovely people sharing your adventures so people like me can vicariously love your birdies too!
I had a parakeet growing up then a nanday when I was in my 20’s. (First husband sold it and it was a huge contributor to why he became a first husband) I would l love love love to have another, but my life just would not let me be a good birb mom now. So here and TT is where I get my fix.
I don't have a bird. I frequent this sub because I miss her and think of her all the time. My ex had her when we started dating and she's no longer in my life after the breakup. They changed me for the better and now I love all birds..
Me. Used to have tiels but now I just have houseducks. Same energy, but vastly different species, plus there's no sub for houseducks. I know, I made one and I'm the only member.
Now im thinking in my head, "yeah theres that guy, with that parrot girl, always with that parrot, tryna act like they jack sparrow with whiskery in there hands all the time and they dont even drink, they just love the parrot and want to troll the neighbors with role playing" actin like they from pirates of the caribbean you watchin too many movies next thing you know they broke up after and it was a trial last thing she did was shit on his bed last i heard
Nah...
To get my *parrot fix*, I put out seed (*& other food*) twice a day, and get 50+ cockies turn up & interact (*lorikeets, the odd galah & others turn up too, but I actually only count Corella*). Hey a few days ago I even had a small flock of *gang gangs* watch the feed.
Ah, Australia. I would probably do the same. But unfortunately rose ringed parakeets have not made their way to Northern Germany, or I haven’t seen them yet.
Yes I do, there's no way I can get a parrot at this moment in time, as my dogs would eat it. I have had budgies since a small child, then I got a baby cockatiel, Billy, who lived to 21 years old, he was great.
So, I love this group and your beautiful birds. Some point in the future I will get another 1 or 2 birds.

If I have learned something from this sub, it is that your parrots rule you, independent of which room you are in.
Yes. Mine let me train them too, that's the biggest concession I will get lol but I am also well trained ;)
Every parrot who keeps humans probably: It is so difficult to get good servants

Yes. I could never own a parrot, but they're super cute, and I love their antics!

This is me too; had budgies & a cockatiel for years but will likely never own one again due to lifestyle changes since my cockatiel's passing.
I hang out here when I’m out the house and miss my parrot
Same same

It's not like you are living at the office.

yup, lost my cockatiel last year and my current living situation won't allow me to stay at one place for more than a year so i can't get another :(
I volunteer at a local shelter if I want my parrot fix.
I had parrots for nearly half my life... and I might have another one, one day... but until then, this sub is my hang out 😄

Yes, the best pet is someone else's. I love birbs.

I visit parrot subreddits when my birds are sleeping or I'm at work. Love my birds.
I don't have a bird. I frequent this sub because I miss her and think of her all the time. My ex had her when we started dating and she's no longer in my life after the breakup. They changed me for the better and now I love all birds..
Yes. I will probably never own one, but am fascinated by these beautiful, intelligent creatures and the relationships they have with their humans.
Here and pigeons lol
Me
I get my parrot fix whenever I visit my girlfriend and her two cockatiels. But this sub is good too
Yes, prior to owning one and still do :)
Same. Would love to have a parrot. Nonewhere near ready to have one.
I like to see the other breeds here. You can only have so many birds.
Maybe just move into an aviary?
That's not a bad idea.
Me. Used to have tiels but now I just have houseducks. Same energy, but vastly different species, plus there's no sub for houseducks. I know, I made one and I'm the only member.
I am guessing you don’t have a snail problem in your garden.
I work with parrots instead.
