someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

:rolleyes: thought the name of this thread would get you looking


my parakeet, Flame, seems to have serious issues with his mirror, he keeps pulling it down, somehow i dont think he likes the look of himself

do other birds have this problem??

my baby

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Can he see you in it? :D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Very few lifeforms other than humans recognise that they are looking at themselves when looking in a mirror.
That bird thinks he/she has competition for food and your attention.

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

lol Ken yer a sh!t :D

he's pulling the bell off it now, we've just had a whistling competition, the more i whistle, the louder he gets, i love him to bits

and Ken, i got a water sprayer from a pet shop in Preston yesterday :D:D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Unfortunately most `birds` i have met over the years have had problems with mirrors............

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

I feel a lot like that when I look in the mirror.....I think if I had feathers I would pull them out. :)

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

he's a beautiful bird (Golden Mantel Rosella to give him his 'proper' name) with his looks you'd think he'd love looking in the mirror ;)

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

I don't know about Birds flashy, (like the name of yours, its like a duo introducing Flame and Flashy:theband::D) I often squart foam on the mirror when shaving, because I don't like the geezer thats looking back at me:D:rolleyes:

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

lol, thanx for that bit of info Jay :D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Has he just got the mirror?
Maybe he thinks this bird (his reflection) is a threat and gonna take you away from him?, if he's close to YOU then he may see this as another bird and trying to show whos boss?...just an idea;)

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

got the mirror 2 weeks ago Panther, he's never bothered with it till today lol

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Its coming round to spring, it the time when nest building starts, he sees that bird in the mirror as a potential rival. Try putting it on the bottom of a bowl of water, see what happens, birds don't bother when they look down to drink, and see their reflection

Retlaw.

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

My bird loves a mirror.Shes always preening & plucking in front of it & saying 'does my bum look big in these'.

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

lol ya daft get

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:Thanks for brightening up my morning Maxwell:D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Parrots are very destructive creatures, once he finds out how to get it off the cage he will keep doing it, Its all good for the bird though, keeps his mind occupied, plenty of toys too.
Good to see you got a spray, do it a couple of times a week

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

the bloke in the pet shop said every morning, he said you shouldnt ever spray them at night

i've moved the mirror out of his way now anyway, the little sod nearly broke it :D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

why do you need to spray it?

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

it helps with their preening

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

There quite a few women I know that that would come in use for too:D:p

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

ewwwwwww Jay

my baby has a new larger house now, infact its a mansion compared to his last 'house', i've just moved his 'furniture' into it and he is happily exploring his new home

thankyou to the kind accyweb delivery man who sold me it and put the cage together for me, sorry about the bite that you got in return, at least now i know that the bird can do something else other than just whistle *snigger*

Ken you truly are a star ;) :D:D:D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

It bit twice.just noticed when I got home :mad:
Nowt compared to a greys bite though, they'll probably snap the bone if they bit properly, when you see a nut shell being crushed in its beak it makes you wonder what it could do to a finger

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

oh dear, i didnt know he'd done it twice, i'm not laughing, honest

i should have been more on the ball and offered you a plaster instead of waffling on :D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

You waffle flashy, never:D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

Dya know I find that a bit hard to believe to flashy..:D

aww what a cute fella, Ive got two noisy little budies that have just been grounded for the day for biting my wallpaper. really need to build them a bigger home so i dont have to keep letting them out the cage. :rolleyes::D

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

that pic was taken by his previous owner, i've only had him a month


what have you got Mel?

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

HEHEHE just seen I put Budies instead of budgies lmao. but they are really cute and the grandchild adores em. theyre still ruddy grounded though lil sods.

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

hahaha, flame is a messy little sod, i hoovered up under his cage this morning and now the carpet has seed all over it, i have to clean his cage every other day

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over

I say he because you can't sex them just by looking. have to get a dna test done. if he's not a he then we have a gay bird :)

didnt you mean if he IS a he? lol

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

We had a budgie when I was young, we used to let it fly round the house like a good un, until one night he decided to take a dip in the chip pan that was still cooling after tea, funny really never did much flying after that:rolleyes:

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

oh dear, poor Jay

Flame doesnt come out that often, he's only been out twice in the month i've had him

is there any way i can get him to come out, without having to frighten him out?

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

I did, been a long night :)

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

the mirror issue has now passed, he has an issue with my wallpaper now, he likes eating it....how do i stop him? he eats the wallpaper above the curtain poles

Re: someone has SERIOUS issues they need to get over
 

move the curtain pole up as far as you can, he'll only be able to eat the paper below it then :-)
