My 2 love birds seem to be bored and unhappy quite a bit, i think that they may need some toys to cheer them up? what would you prefer i do and what kind of toys would be best for them?
Some toys or changes to the environment are definitely a great way to help reduce boredom. You can look for toys that are soft or fuzzy to encourage preening and chewing behavior, or toys that can move around such as swings or bendy ladders for exercise. Treats that have to be pecked at are also great enrichment. Just be sure to choose toys that are designed for your bird's size and activity level. If you have a pair, you may also want to add in a nest or some nesting material to encourage building and give them extra enrichment.

What are the best type of perches for my two year old male black capped conure?
It is best to provide Ava with a few different types of perches. They should range in diameter. Natural perches are best, as they provide varying shapes which is best for your bird’s feet. A pedicure perch is also recommended (ie: "sweet feet" perch) which is a textured perch that helps keep toenails trimmed and smooth, as well as the bird’s beak. You can find a plethora of perches on Amazon. ( https://www.amazon.com/natural-perches-Parakeets/s?k=natural+perches+for+Parakeets )

Lately my Conure has been getting very over stimulated when I come home from work. He will fly to me and bite me extremely hard from excitement. I’m not sure why he is all of the sudden doing this? Sometimes he will also do it out of nowhere when we
Hello! It could be that Rico is going through a bit of "phase" and would benefit from some additional training on biting, or he may be understimulated, which is why he is getting so excited when you are finally home. Providing him with some enrichment such as puzzle toys he can chew on and has to work to get a prize from, playing music or a show while you're gone for him to listen to, or adding more time outside of his cage on play structures when you are home may help him to get a little more stimulation without resorting to problem behaviors. I'm also including a few articles that may help as well! https://www.petcoach.co/article/bird-biting-why-they-do-it-and-how-to-correct-it/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-bird-care/

So I just bought my first bird. But I have no idea what to do next. I did buy good bird food without sunflower seeds, millets, culet bone cage, and nutriberries. He's not tamed either so I'm not sure what to do. He doesn't have toys yet and I'm plani
Hello and congratulations on your new friend, King! Parakeets make wonderful pets, and they are a great first bird for a new bird owner. It sounds like you have everything in order, but I'd definitely get King some toys sooner rather than later as parakeets do require mental stimulation - they are very intelligent! Taming will take some time and patience. Using a perch to entice him to step up can be a good place to start, though I recommend waiting a few days to allow him to adjust to his new surroundings first. Yummy treats can be helpful - dried fruits and veggies are a good choice. Here are some good tips on taming your parakeet: http://www.budgiekeet.com/taming.html Good luck, and I hope King adjusts well! :)

I'm sorry to hear about ZaZu's biting! I'm attaching a few articles about biting in birds that may be helpful for you. If you can't spend a lot of time with him during the day, I also recommend adding in some enriching toys such as puzzle toys filled with treats, things that can be chewed on, or items that allow him to preen or play, to help redirect this energy (and biting behavior) onto appropriate objects. https://www.petcoach.co/article/bird-biting-why-they-do-it-and-how-to-correct-it/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/causes-of-behavior-problems-in-birds-and-possible-solutions/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/the-hidden-benefits-of-toys-for-your-pet-bird/
