need help with a quaker parrot?

I’m watching my friends Quacker for the summer. She’s a very friendly bird around Mike, and was fine around me when he was near. But now that she has been relocated to my place she’s becoming impossible. I can’t reach into her cage to change her food or water. When I do, she charges at my fingers. I’ve already been bittin a couple of times. she has clamp coop cups so I have to reach in her cage to feed her. She’s smart and figures out how to undo her toys from the cage, so they just fall to floor. When I try to pick them up and replace them, once again my hands are her target. I’ve tried letting her out ontop of her cage to distract her so I can get her food/water/toys. I’ve had little success. She starts flying around the room, running into stuff (he doesn’t clip her wings) Then I have trouble getting her back into her cage, or she sees what I’m doing and comes back in. My friend is doing an internship in a remote area with no service so contact is not possible. any suggestions?

COCKATIEL/BIRD/PARROT QUESTION??????????????

OK we had a young cocatiel which ours bred. It was out of the nest for about a week and all was fine.Oneday I went to see them and it was on the ground. I thought that was strange so I went in and it couldn’t fly. It was holding its wing a bit funny but it wasnt broken. We put it in the box with the mother (who was broody again) and the next morning it ws dead…Anyone got any ideas what could have happened????????????

where to sell birds?

I have a princess of wales parrot and a budgie but I can’t take care of them any more. Only feed them and cover up the cage at night. Where can I sell my pets? Also want to make sure that I’m selling my parrots to a better place. (I’d rather avoid selling them on the internet cause if I sold it to some dude in Texas or a place far away, that’s not gonna work for the birdies cause they go crazy on car rides) Does $180 for a parrot and a free budgie sound like a good price? Can’t go any lower than $180. So where can I sell the little guys?
BIG emphasis on not selling over the internet. I never trust the internet when it comes to purchasing or selling.

bird problems?

I have a budgie and a princess of wales parrot but I can’t take care of them any more. All I can do is feed them and clean their cage. I can’t spend time with them cause I’m gone most of the day. (school, duh). Another problem is that I can’t bring them into the house and possums and cats bang on the cage at night. Obviously, I have to give them to someone else, but who? Basically, the question is: What do I do with pet birds when I can’t take care of them any more? I really need good answers. Many thanks for answering!
