I have a parrot: Ask me anything!
Some of you know him! He is a white-bellied caique named Flip! Seeing as how birds don't get as much exposure as other animals, I thought it'd be fun to create a space for questions about what life with him is like and hopefully teach you something new about the difficult but fulfilling world of parrot ownership!
@Heather225
Gosh it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin cute. Can you like ask it to say "Pandanfe you're cute too" XD
Edits just after posting this message: Now I feel like I'm seeking attention from this cute little Flip o-o
BUT IT'S SUCH A CUTIE give it some pats from my side 💛
Can you ask the parrot, how much longer I am gonna be single?
@edmurWill until you find your better half 🤩
@BenittaJ I am ready to bribe him with pomegranates, but please make it quicker 🤣 I hope he says, 2024 is the year you find "the one" ♥️ Hope things will happen soooooon.
@edmurWill 🦜🗯squak: Longer than you’d like. 🗯squak
@Heather225 what is his favourite place to hang out at?
💕 What a cutie! 💕
I have a very important question,
does Flip get to hear that he's a good boy?
Ouh! And another one,
what is Flip's favorite thing to do?
Give Flip a treat from me and Dog 🐶
✨💙✨

it'll take a bit to get to everyone bc i want to reply to some of you with visual examples 😂 stay tuned
- Did you name him after Flip Wilson?
- How do you know Flip is male? (Parrot genders look alike to me)
- Can you ever make him quiet down at all?
- If you let him hang around outside his cage (or if he doesn't have one), how do you deal with him dropping 💩 on everything?
He is beautiful! I adore him and wish I could meet him. Can Flip dance?!
@Heather225 hi flip ❤hi heather ❤ is he teratorial? Does he bite? Are is loose or fallen fathers big enough for you to make a dream catcher with. Or maybe a feather head band??
I got a 7 month old baby bunny his name is gizmo. And he's just hit puberty. So he's very territorial right now and has become aggressive. On Wednesday hes going to get neutered, it's a simple operation I think. But hopefully he will calm down after that and go back to my sweet cuddly furbaby
@Tinywhisper11 😮 😮 😁 ! Tiny, you have a bunny?!!! I will pray for you and he as he's about to have surgery this week :) My SST and I will be thinking of you. (My SST is of the K9 variety, so yes, bigger than a rabbit.) and hugssss for Tiny as you wait for your lil guy to come back after surgery. hugs hugs! Platy
@Tinywhisper11
Hehe. Jeffy is not neutered so he's a lil uh fiesty. Hehe. Puberty was a crazy time. He's super nice and loving to me but everyone else he hates.
Does gizmo bite himself when you are trimming his nails? Or when he has them done? Jeffy does
@AvyIsKing nah he is pretty good with his nails ❤ I've got no choice other than to get him neutered he's nice to everyone except me😞 and I love him so much😢
Are parrots immediately friendly? Or take a while to warm up like cats ?
@RoseEM
they can take a long time to warm up. lots of trust-building is needed to get a parrot to really take to you. Flip as a baby was relatively quick to warm up to me but i was giving him a lot of treats and also a lot of space. apparently he was also the most mild-mannered one of the flock so i got lucky!
@Heather225 Flip is beautiful!
@gbrenna he says thank you! here's a pic of him as a baby
@Heather225
Adorable 🦜
