Gwyneth asks

Is a 16 x 24 open done top actually bug enough for an Amazon parrot. I have a small space. The cage would fit much better than the 24 x 30 current cage?

Hi Gwyneth

Do you mean 24″ wide x 16″ deep?

Do you also currently have a 30″ wide x 24″ deep cage?

If your parrot is able to be outside of the cage (on top or on a stand) for several hours a day, then the smaller cage should be fine.

But if the bird is a large amazon you may wish to stay with the 30″ wide cage.

Regards,

Catherine

I would like to know how I can get my male Timneh not to be too territorial around his cage cause he’s a real sweetheart and a mush when he’s not guarding his cage door.

Good morning.

My 29-year-old Caique parrot Skeeter had a stroke 10 days ago.

The vet who treated him sent him home the same day with antibiotics and calcium; told me to keep him in his travel cage which was padded with towels, and wished me good luck.

The problem with Quora is that anecdotal answers are opinions, not answers.

Another problem with answering this question is where would we find benchmarks for bird happiness?

I know when my ringneck is happy eating because he talks to his food.

If anyone walks into a room where he was alone for more than 2 minutes he will insist on “conversation: with him doing most of the talking.

But communicating his happiness or displeasure about any of his birdcages (he has 4), is something still opaque to me.

I have a 3-year-old Milagold Macaw, and his name is Rainbow.

Rainbow likes to bite and nibble things, like my clothes, my arm and whatever he can get.

How do I get him to stop, my arm has a lot of bruises from this, is there bird training classes for this or do I just tape his mouth close (LOL) please tell me what I should do?
