Elaine and Mango the Jenday Conure
Dear Mitch & Catherine
I just recently got a Jenday Conure in late October and I named him Mango.
He has his royal blue feathers on his wings and tail but is not too socialized with people.
The breeder advised that he came to her, but the circumstances were unclear.

Or
Are Mites Making Making My Macaw Miserable?
Hi Mitch,
Always look forward to your Sunday articles, thanks!
Madeleine is a (Blue & Gold Macaw) rescue from a home where she was malnourished, neglected, and abused.
I was able to negotiate relinquishment but it’s been a year of learning for me, we bonded and I decided to adopt her instead of fostering.

There is so much conflicting information on pellets and Eclectus parrots (the potential to overload on vitamins).
I have been giving them about 10 [pellets] a couple times a week.
I wanted to know your thoughts on this.
I do try to feed them a very balanced diet but I know we can’t cover everything.
Thanks for your help.

an·thro·po·mor·phic
/ˌanTHrəpəˈmôrfik/
adjective
relating to or characterized by anthropomorphism.
having human characteristics.
“anthropomorphic bears and monkeys”
I love that word.
I like how it feels on the tongue.
It’s also a big reason we see so many failures and pet bird care.
We make chop because salads are healthy for us.

Hello, My 2 parakeets had been mating & the hen has been laying 14-15 eggs so far.
After the first 9, the male who had been guarding the nest abandoned the eggs.
It seemed they are all unfertilized after looking at them under a bright flashlight.
Then they started building another nest under the table where I keep all their supplies (inside a bucket).

We are very sorry to hear your bird may be ill.
Of course, timing is often not right and our pets health issues may come at the wrong times.
This is beyond our experience and knowledge.
Yes, a trip to your Vet is the way to go. (more…)
