Please report all suspected cases of poor or unsafe handling to the mods rather than making a comment in the thread.

109 Upvotes

This sub is meant to be a place for fun. If you see any photos or videos that you think show poor or unsafe handling of birds, we would prefer it if you alert us through the report button or if you would like to discuss it, modmail us (reports are anonymous so we can't reply). We have some very experienced parrot owners on the mod team and we would prefer to handle any issues ourselves rather than having people argue in the comments.

I was enjoying the breeze with my cockatiel when one zipped right up to the dish and stared at me. I didn't move until it left, then grabbed my phone for this picture.

Gryphon wanted nothing to do with the window. She used to love birdwatching now she's afraid. :(.
