you can't do this by yourself. between restrianing the bird and working a diamond file inside it's mouth when it can just snap at you or bite the file or inhale beak dust to them havi g nerves in the beak you need to be careful not to injure it's too complicated to do alone. seek a specialist or ask a your veterenarian to give you the number of one.';

'Do you guys think this cage is too big for a single green cheek conure? It seems to be made for medium-sized parrots, but it's also labeled "for cockatiels".
The dimensions are 23.75"L x 22.88"W x 61"H.

what a stupid question';

'>>4680251
Not talking about the inside dimensions by itself, I actually upgraded from a smaller cage to this for that reason. But the perches on top the diameter for like african grays and the bowls on top are about 5 inches deep, so I'm pretty sure this wasn't intended for birds smaller than medium-sized parrots like sun conures.';

I'm just lurking here, but I never knew parrots need their beaks trimmed. It makes sense if I think about it, like rodents' teeth, but it never occurred to me. Are all birds like that or just the parrot type beaks?';

'>>4695813
My family has a pair of 20+ year old cockatiels that have never ever needed a beak trim. I guess it depends on what you feed them and how much they get to climb around and nibble on things.

Oh and stress probably plays a role. A comfy parrot naturally grinds their own beak (by working it, like a person would grind their teeth) from time to time, usually while half asleep and fluffed up.';

'I am planning on getting a parrot relatively soon.

When I was a kid my grandpa had 5 Amazon's and one Ara Macao and I have some experience helping take care of them. I live in an apartment and I work 36 hours a week. My boyfriend works from home so he is always there. We both kinda shut ins and we barely go outside so the animal wouldn't be alone almost never.

Right now I don't know what to get.
I always liked the Ara Macao but I think it's too big for my home even though I'd love to have one. So maybe an Amazon parrot or a grey one would be better. I'm a bit scared that would still be too much and I should just get an Agapornis.

you're supposed to give them hardwood perches and toys in their cage to gnaw on, as well as things like almonds and walnuts that they have to break into with their beaks. a pet parrot with an overgrown beak is likely malnourished and poorly housed.';

If you have a big macaw it needs a pretty serious hardwood supply to keep its front beak in check naturally. My grandparents had a blue & gold when I was a kid, and that thing would run around all day savaging orange trees, eating furniture, grinding pebbles into dust, and it still needed trimmed.';
