For those not binge-watching Windy City Parrot TV, we rescued a 17-year-old male African ringneck last week.
This is Labor Day weekend 2018.
We will be leaving tomorrow Friday afternoon and returning Monday afternoon or evening.
The birds will be in the car with us for 2 to 3 hours – each way.

It’s a bird not a dog and doesn’t necessarily want to get pet.
Birds want to be preened.

“He let himself get bitten.

This question comes from the Google My Business community.
Unfortunately Google sets character limitations in the answer box and I felt compelled to provide a well rounded solution.
Thus you found your way to our excellent blog on nothing but pet birds and captive bird care.

good evening Mitch, we recently put up an outside aviary for our rescue Indian ring neck.
we do not have regular screening up because we were afraid it would keep out the UV Light.
should we use that because of bugs, bees and mosquitos?
We need help

We don’t generally interact with mainstream bird rescue organizations.
The last bird club/rescue meeting I spoke at began with a police presence called by the current president trying to forcibly remove the former president, who wouldn’t leave.
The next 15 minutes resulted in parliamentary maneuvers so legal action could be brought against the former bird rescue president.
We’ve seen that a lot over the years.
Which is why we mainly work with private rescues and bird rescue initiatives.

Barbara Writes,
I love the new format so much, Mitch.
And I have a question regarding the video of the cockatoo and sun conure. How do you know when it’s safe to let them be together like that?

My morning was going quite well.
Dr. Johansen called with the lab results and my A1c was down to 5.9 from 7.4 in January.
I attribute that to Catherine’s deployment of our keto lifestyle diet.

Dear Mitch and Catherine,
I own a Blue and Gold Macaw that I’ve had for 23 years, I love him dearly as he’s been, my little companion and roommate.
The problem is and I’m hoping you can help is that I’m not able to have my family or friends over because Bernard will literally take a tantrum screaming until I go in and get him and bring him out to see who’s there and when I go to bring him back to his cage, he bites me hard with displaced anger.
