How do you stop a miniature macaw from attacking people?

It would be completely irresponsible for a person to release a domestic parrot into the wild. The bird would not survive so that's not an option. There are different types of parrot aggressiveness. Are you referring to parrots who bite their owners when the owner tries to interact with the bird (such as when the owner is trying to clean the cage, service food dishes, etc., meaning the bird is simply an untamed bird) or are you referring to the parrot actually physically attacking someone in the home? Parrot aggressiveness, such as attacking people by flying off the cage and landing on someone or runing across the floor attacking feet, usually is the result of the parrot being bonded to a single person. When certain other individuals approach this person and the bird sees this, the bird becomes protective of the single person s/he is bonded to. It's the parrot's way of protecting his/her human "mate" from what the parrot perceives as a threat to it's favorite person. Best way to resolve the latter is to cage the parrot when these certain individuals are in the home. If it's a matter of the parrot just being untame, then there's a process you can go through to try and tame the parrot.

Can budgies get nits?

Bugies get mites, which cause them itch, and scratch themselves to try and relieve it. Buy some mite spray or powder from the pet shop, and use it regularly (but carefully).

Is it safe to turn a parrot upside down?

Absolutely. In fact, its a sign of trust that your bird would let you do that. I work in a bird store and that's part of the way that one of our birds plays. If the bird is on its back, and becomes uncomfortable, it is completely capable of turning over.

How do you tell if a budgies ill?

Birds are very subtle in sickness body language, so you'll have to be very diligent about watching over your pet for signs of illness. Some signs may include refusal to eat, refusal to drink, drinking over the norm for your bird, not pooping, poop is suddenly a weird color and you haven't made any food changes lately, stuff is coming out of the nose, crusty stuff around the eyes are dull, feathers are dull, and many other things. If your bird is behaving oddly, keep a close eye on him/her for a day or two. If nothing changes, take him/her to the vet.
If your bird has really obvious signs of illness, such as sitting on the bottom of the cage, complete refusal to eat(not even his/her favorite treats), complete refusal to drink, or something else that you can obviously tell something funny is going on, take your bird to the vet IMMEDIATELY. Birds are only very obvious they're sick when the sickness has progressed in the bird significantly. Birds act like this because they're prey animals and predators usually go for the young, the old, or the sick, and so your bird wants to eliminate as many signs of sickness as possible, so it's a big fat red flag when your bird is obvious with sickness signs.

How do you get your parrot to stop saying a curse word?

slightly change the word. when the bird says it, repeat a slightly different word/phrase and if the bird copies the new version, reward. Remember, never punish the bird as it won't understand why.

Make sure no one ever says that word around the parrot. More than likely if they don't hear the word on a regular basis, they will forget that word. Parrots tend to learn words that they either hear a lot or words that sound interesting to them.

Make sure noone says that word near the parrot

Pyro2012:

Try saying a completely different word lots of times,it will soon rub off the bird and it will start repeating what you say.

Make sure to praise it (give it a treat) after repeating your word,soon enough it

will carry on repeating that word.

You found a white bird egg on the ground not in a nest and you took it home what should you do?

Well, I found four chicken eggs on the ground once, I took them home and put them in a blanket with a hot water bottle. I didn't have an incubator so I warmed them, changing the water every now and then, If the egg is unrecognisable then maybe you should just keep it warm until it hatches, then feed it formula until it can eat seed. My eggs didn't hatch but maybe yours has some hope. I hope I helped.

Why are my finches are pecking at each other is this fighting. I have a Society Finch and Zebra Finch.?

I did a little bit of research and I'm just getting that zebra finches do well with other zebra finches; not any other kind. Hope this helps, although I do have two zebra finches that continuously peck at one another. So it may be a sign of playing? Keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't hurt each other.

I have a Male Lovebird and a female Budgie and they love each other I want to know if they can be housed together they like spending time together. I know the lovebirds and budgies are agrssive?

If they get along, they should be fine living together in one cage. You might have to buy a new cage to put them both in, since one might be territorial about another living in its cage. They're about the same size, so they're unlikely to hurt each other accidentally.
