The whole question from Quora was as follows:
My parakeet isn’t really active (eating, exploring, playing) until my sister’s parakeet comes around. That does this mean?
Catherine responded:
Birds of a feather flock together and you don’t have any feathers.
It sounds like your parakeet prefers the company of another parakeet and is happy when one comes by.

I’ve 2 yellow Naples 37 and 40 years of age I’ve had since hand feeding.Â
Recently after 26 years in this neighborhood my neighbor after 8 years has taken me to court for noise violation.
They’re outdoor cages in Fl. With 1 umbrella cockatoo in this heat, the judge said I should cover them which would kill them.

Bill P. asks:
I have questions about the 72-hour circadian reset technique.
1. During the day portion of the 72 hour period would there be a problem with taking the bird, Blue and Gold Macaw out of her cage for food, exercise, and to interact with the family.
2. Can you provide clinical references pertaining to this technique?

Since being stuck at home during Covid and not being able to shop as needed (we are both 71) we have really started sprouting alfalfa seeds at home.
We always liked alfalfa sprouts and now it is an easy way to have something fresh.
I have 2 parakeets…is it safe for them to eat freshly sprouted sprouts?

Barb H. asks:
I’d appreciate advice on integrating parrots into a 36′ X 10 communal aviary for 8 amazons & 2 macaws.
These birds have all lived together in the same room divided by partitions. Although separated, they can see each other and communicate.
Since they’re familiar with each other, I’m hoping for a painless transition.

Patrick B. asks
I have a 3-year old female Senegal parrot who has a nasty habit. She bites.
She bites for no reason and she is quite viscous, she also screams for no reason (even when I am sitting right next to her cage).
I’m worn out from all of this ……

Hi, Need help.
I have a 5-year-old female Illiger Macaw. Recently she has picked up an annoying ongoing chirp when she is out of her cage and on her perch.
It’s like she is so nervous she is afraid of her own shadow.
