... Hi Terry, This is a great frame for a flight. I have one in my backyard. Also, for those with smaller spaces or smaller birds, my housemate came home ...
Ok, We invited an avid birder friend (for many years) who works for the county parks & recreation over for a Sunday afternoon at our pool complete with BBQ,...
... Sounds like a peregrine falcon. That is how they hunt. They go way high and find a bird below. Then they tuck in their wings and dive like a missile, ...
I'm not familiar with the zone-tailed hawk... if it's an accipiter, I would have great concern for it regarding my companions. If it's a buteo, I would have...
It is a buteo. Per my "lesson" Sunday, they are scarce, mostly keeping southwest of here. However they are seen pretty much annually around the lake and on...
We are definitely within the peregrine range with the type of area they like...cliffs overlooking watersources, etc. There is plenty of prey to be found as...
Does anyone have recommendations on (I assume) wire netting? I think I've read before where welded wire with 2x2" openings was recommended for larger parrots...
... Hi Kevin, I don't like to use 2x2" as it lets in the little native birds such as sparrows, etc.. Also, if you plan to keep your parrots in it overnight,...
What about 1x2" wire? I've heard that is good for macaws too. Could raccoons still get their feet through that? I'm getting ready to build my outdoor aviary...
... Actually, 1/2x3 or 1/2x2 works very well. I forgot to mention those. They are expensive, though. ... Yep, they can get their feet through that size as...
"I'm getting ready to build my outdoor aviary now too." Congratullations Curtis!!! ... Soaro will LOVE the aviary. My birds LOVE their aviary. It's really a...
Curtis If you plan the perches and swings well the macaws should not have to cling onto the exterior wire at all. Two vertical poles with a cross bar as high...
I would very much appreciate it if you could send me some pics. All my birds are flighted but most of them don't think of flight as a mode of transportation....
Personally, if I had any type of predators like raccoons, I would be double wiring my aviary. Heck, not just raccoons but raptors! Not only would I suggest...
... to cling onto the exterior wire at all. ... Tell that to my macaws! If I leave my macaws out at night in the big flight (that I normally have the Greys and...
have you tried bamboo screening the birds cannot really perch on that and it protects from wind. maybe make your aviary too hot. Mine is freezing most of the...
Hey folks, I'm coming against a problem that I will either solve by sitting down, thinking about it and writing it out (as in what i'm doing now) or one the...
So don't use your hand. Do the behaviors the training but in a different manner until Pilot calms down. Teach flying stationing. So Pilot flies to there and...
... Hi Scott. I just wanted to share a few things that I do here in my house that are or were similar to what you are going through. My Umbrella gets extremely...
... That was going to be my response also. Keep the body parts out of the equation until you can get him calmed down and acting reliably for you. Parrots: more...
Scott, "...Pilot will be two years old in october, we will have been together since he was around 14 weeks old..." from the sounds of things do you know when...
Hey Gay, Chris, Chai, thanks for the group confirmation. Train with out flying to my hand. Its so obvious. I guess I knew that, but broke the golden rule of...
... I don't think behavior is wierd, just intriguing and detailed. It is just whether we can read it. If we can't, we teach them the behavior they then...
This may help for Pilot. I have had a 3 biting rescue Timnehs and a grey. I taught 3 birds to touch a target and get a treat and then step up onto a stick. It...
Hi Scott, you should use a stick. Train Pilot to step up on a stick, it will avoid bites. As I know Amazons can get really hormonal, I have felt that before. ...
A quick question, after reading Scott's post and the responces on his amazon's aggression issues, do all amazon's go through a stage where they are aggressive?...
Most Amazon have this by nature. They become aggressively in there breeding time . In the breed avery this characterising for the periode for the breed and...
