Cobus - 2011-12-17 I have been given a baby African Red-Bellied parrot that must still be hand fed. He however spits out the bird porridge I got from the petshop. What can I give him to eat and not spit it out? Please advise me cause the petshop owners advice don't seem to work.

Charlie Roche - 2011-12-19 Usually they spit it out if it isn't warm enough. Should be between 100 and 105 degrees. A second reason is the hand feeder has changed and it might take the little one a couple of day (only a couple) to get used to the new feeder. One thing you can do is add baby food apricots or applesauce - a tablespoon - to the mixture. I prefer Zupreme or a least my birds do. One other is when the little guy has had enough - say you gave him 60 cc - he will spit out more if he doesn't want it. They sometimes get a little fussier during the weaning process.
Kathy Burtness - 2011-10-07 My red belly is a 3 year old female named Nefertiti. She has such a distinctive personality and she's absolutely the boss of my household. If she sees me eating without giving her something to eat at the same time, she has a temper tantrum. This tantrum consists of flapping her wings very fast and hard, squeaking at the top of her lungs and then leaning forward on one leg and scratching her rear end with the other leg. It's the craziest thing in the world to witness. I was wondering if anybody else has a red belly that leans over and scratches her rear for attention?

Charlie Roche - 2011-10-08 Parrots have a way of coming up with some contortion that will always make their human laugh or always make their human obey. They will go through a great many excercises/flipping,upside down - whatever is needed to get thri humans attention and convey what they want. My human hasn't seen that one though but I might try it.
sara - 2008-09-05 I've got a pet red belly hen which I call Sweetums, and I also have a breeder pair that have produced 2 chicks in 2 different clutches. The latest chick hatched in March, I named him Raz and I decided to keep him for a "boyfriend" for Sweetums. He is in a cage next to Sweetums' and he's been doing a mating dance and he's only a little more than 5 months old. I'm hoping that they will bond. He's really a cute little guy and I hope that when he's mature enough that Raz and Sweetums will bond and start producing babies. I just don't know when I should put them together. Should I wait until Raz is at least 2 years old, or should I put them together now. BTW, Sweetums is almost 4 years old. My breeder pair were already bonded when I got them.

CONNIE - 2010-02-05 I have a red bellied parrot and he tries to feed me (regurgitate) every time I get him out. What can I do to get him to stop this? I had a female before this one from the same person and the same breeder pair and she died. A necropsy was done and she had waisting disease. She also tried to feed me, and I amd worried about my male. I was told there is no way to test for this till they die. Please can you help me with this?

gsakes - 2010-09-25 That behavior is normal, he's trying to feed you. My Red Bellies do the same thing and they're perfectly healthy.
Joanne - 2008-11-25 I have an eleven year old Red Bellied aptly named Sinbad. He is very attached to me and when I have to leave home for any length of time he is my road buddy. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the life-span of these guys is. I'm working with several family members to address his attachment issue. Also, Sinbad has a genetic color mutation and has developed some beautiful yellow and orange feathering on his back and an orange collar. His clutch mate, a female, was completely yellow during her first moult. He is definitely my little companion bird and certainly nothing like the Pionius parrot he lives with!

Sandy - 2010-06-01 Hello, I have a 21 yr old Red Bellied Parrot. I've had Razzmann "Razzy" since he was a baby. They can live 25-35 yrs. My Avian vet Dr. Speer calls my guy a senior bird. I want to address the yellow feathers-- I once remember a few yellow feathers mixed in with his orange feather and a couple mixed in with the green on his wing (very few). I was concerned and brought him to the vet for a check up and blood work. Apparently if I remember he had too much fat in his blood. The Vet called it fatty liver--even thought my guy is on Harrison's pellets, good fruits, vegies and nuts--he also love people food. We cut out some foods and he is back to beautiful color--yellow gone. Something you might want to watch or get checked. Dr. Speer is one of the best in avian medicine and has help me so much with my guys diet for a long healthy life. Razzy's favs are chicken leg bone, scrabbled eggs, cottage cheese, cream of wheat with toast, cherrios and lots of greens. They are prone for lacking vitamin A--eggs are really good for them. Sorry for so much rambling but I just love these little guys. Best of luck with your Sinbad. Sandy, Razzy and my congo grey Baby girl.
Christine Miller - 2009-01-13 I have learned not to have my little female Red Bellied parrot, I call Bert, on my shoulder when I answer the door anymore. I have learned she loves to greet them by saying things she has made up or heard sometime in the past. In July I opened the door to a couple of nice looking door to door Mormon men with Bert on my shoulder. The minute she saw them out pops... "Merry Christmas, Shit head." I had know idea she could say any of those words and it was nowhere near Christmas being it was in the middle of July. So be beware of these little devils and what may come out their beaks.
