I have a canary and am thinking about getting a Weaver finch.
Feathered factoid: Finches are part of the canary family.
At the pets store, they were in the same cage: canaries and one Weaver finch that the owner said sings beautifully.
My young canary is just starting to sing.

Questions about a harness for My African Grey.
She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.
She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.

Our cockatiel, who we rescued from our tree outside about 5-6 yrs ago, passed away Thursday.
We have a 4 yr old cockatiel.
She was only 3 months old when we got her.
The question is should we get another cockatiel for a friend for the 4 yr old?

The thread below triggered the idea for this post.
It’s time to revisit the general subject of where to put your bird when it’s out of the cage.
It’s also time to look at some common sense pet bird-keeping ideas.
From Facebook:
“How do I get my bird to stop biting my neck?”
Answer: “Don’t put them on your shoulder until the bird is trained.”

HELP!!!!!!
I have a real problem and need to fix it asap – doing what is best for both birds ……
I purchased what I hoped was a male for my pink eyed yellow female Flash.
“Tiki” turned out to be a female and right about that time I had to move in with my elderly mother who had 2 back fractures and the birds came with me.
I also have another bonded pair male/female but the male is very old and past breeding age.

I have a very hormonal lovebird.
Very. Hormonal.
To the extent that he is wearing the feathers away from his body from rubbing against his perch and his tail is all scraggly from grabbing it with his foot to balance himself.
At first, I was taking him to the “best avian vet in the state” who wanted to give him monthly shots at $45 a pop.

Stacy T. asks:
Are your indoor aviaries suitable for outdoor use?
Any articles on letting amazon have outdoor time in summer?
We live in SIL.
Seemed like last time I put him out he had some allergies around his eyes.

I have an 11 yr old canary. He stopped singing until we got a budgie. Now he won’t be quiet. And he gets really LOUD. Louder than he ever sang before.

I have a canary winged parakeet who seems very happy but he’s very attached to me and very loud pretty much goes on all day it seems.
Lately, the only time he’s quiet is when he is eating.
Is that common or does he need companionship?

Lorraine H. asks
How do I keep my bird’s dander down?
Should I put a humidifier or air purifiers, in my birds’ room
