Hello.
I have two Sulcata tortoises aka African spurred tortoise (approx 80 lbs each) which I recently took in when their owner could no longer care for them.

Re: Ringnecks, Keto, and all that.
Dear Mitch,
I hope that all is well with you, yours and Keto.
I’ve watched the videos and showed them to others a few times now.
I think that I might have found a good breeder who handles the babies so they’re not terrified in their new home.

Lori Seaton asks: Like the new format. I have asthma. Dr. Suggest that I get rid of our 2 birds… LOL not going to happen.
I had all the problems before we got the birds. What kind of air cleaner is best? We rent our apartment. Thank You.

Jessica wanted to share her African Grey using a rope perch in an XS dog crate for travel!

Dear Mitch, I was glad that you put that sick animal abuser in his or her place when you responded to the “Duct taped Cockatoo” post.
I once rescued a poor blue and gold that was up in a tree for three days.
Its owner was absent and I believe that she was mentally ill, but that’s no excuse for the perch that I found on the apartment property that had lots of duct tape where the parrot perched and the amount of neglect that I saw that the poor Macaw had been through.

Bilquis asks
I have a pair of Caiques completing weaning in about 4 weeks from a breeder.
What kind of pellets would you recommend?
The first choice is organic pellets.

Birds have been used as organic hunting mechanisms since Genghis Khan ruled Asia.
With proper training, you can have precise control over any bird.

Laurie asks
Can ultrasound plug-in pest controls harm caged birds? Thanks
Hi Laurie
I would not take the chance – if its an ionic version it can definitely be harmful

LL (G2MomPerson) asks
Is there a smaller micro-chip available for smaller birds like a Goffins Cockatoo or Cocktail?
I asked my avian vet & she wasn’t aware of a smaller chip for smaller birds/animals.
If there is a smaller chip, what is it called & who makes it?

I have had my male African grey parrot for 28 years.
When he matured sexually years ago he started plucking.
I have him on a plumage supplement now and he has lots of new quills and looks much better.
However, he humps my arm with a thick sweater on.
He goes to completion if I let him once a day.
