Unfertilized, she has no mate.
Yesterday my lovebird was a tiny velociraptor defending her nest, and I’ve been watching her ‘egg bum’ for a couple of days, now.
This morning she was bouncy and happy, apparently relieved of her butt burden, but this is not over, her bum is still looking eggy. Lovebirds usually have 5 eggs in a clutch..?

Hi I’m looking for a dietary regimen for an Amazon Blue Front parrot.
He is used to a seed diet and I’m looking to provide him with a healthier diet.
Do you have any recommendations?
Also, I need a healthy diet for a sun conure. A dietary regimen for parakeets and also for finches of various varieties.
I’m looking to save money considering I have 27 different birds.

There are two sides to this conversation.
There’s the “your bird needs to have some sort of sexual satisfaction in its life” and there’s the “what sex is your bird”?
Let’s start with bird sexing.
About 20 to 25% of parrots are classified as sexually dimorphic.
This means you can tell them apart by their color. Male Eclectus parrots are green and females are red.

This image received a lot of negative blow back on social media about how the bird was being imperiled.
As an avid motorcyclist, I know the first rule motorcycling is “if you don’t want to be injured on a motorcycle – don’t get on a motorcycle”.
If this motorcyclist were to have an accident – be it solo like running off the road or a collision with another vehicle – I think it would be more likely that the bird would fly away unharmed With the human sustaining injuries.

I’m feeling a bit cantankerous “hey you kids get off my lawn” and argumentative.
The source of which can be found in the second post in this week’s Birdie Brunch.
First a Popcorn update
I can’t with certainty say she is fine.
She still pants after flying.

An oft asked question by caged bird keepers is “how do I give my bird powdered supplements”?
Pet bird supplement manufacturers are very good at letting us know what is in the supplements and providing us with precise dosages based upon the size of the bird.
What they never tell us is how to get the supplements IN the bird.

We allow ourselves to be stressed on so many levels these days.
Keeping up with social media contacts.
Fixing all the things that break in our lives – kitchen appliances – automobiles
Just getting to and from work can be an adventure.
So who wouldn’t say “no” to a day at the spa? (more…)

from “comments” in a recent order confirmation email,
he is less than a year old and screams loudly when he cannot see me. I am hoping the calm herb will be effective when my neighbors are home. 🙂
Or just gives me a break when I need it. I took him to my mom’s for Christmas and she was not happy about the loudness. 🙁

Mimi H writes,
A patient of mine highly recommended you. I’ve watched some of the biting videos but you see I took in a rescue sun conure. We believe it’s male. It humps everything right now.
His wings are not clipped mind you and I’m not against doing it if it will help.
My issue is not only is he hand shy but also a biter really bad.
We believe he is 4-5yo.
Where should I start and how?
