Do Your Birds “Go Off” When You’re Talking on the Phone?

Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

Donna L. asks,

 

Good Morning Mitch and Catherine,

 

I was wondering if you have heard from any other bird owners or have maybe experienced yourselves that my Bird (a Dusky Conure named Terry) seems to shall we say “ Go Off “ whenever we are talking on our cell phone.

 

He becomes very agitated and LOUD and well basically obnoxious to where you have to leave the room if you want to have a conversation with someone.

 

Is there something about the sound waves that come through a cell phone perhaps?

 

Because he is perfectly fine when we are just speaking to one another but as soon as you add the cell phone factor in he KNOWS the difference.

 

I appreciate any feedback you have to offer.

Hi Catherine,

 

We are having a really difficult time with our Pineapple Conure.

 

We know he’s going through puberty but he has always been good with my husband now he bites all the time and won’t go in his cage.

 

When we try he just flies away and he has his times where he can be sweet but most of the time he’s a little hellion.

What Should I Do for a Hormonal Male Black-headed Caique?

Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

Donna L. asks,

What should I do for a hormonal black-headed male caique, 17 years old?

Screaming while holding a toy with his beak on the cage bottom or screaming while hanging on the cage bars, screaming at 2:30 AM.

Losing weight, killing any toy he can find, and just starting to pick at his chest and bottom of his foot.

 

Stopped eating his pellets (Harrisons), has combined with other pellets, not interested. (more…)

Hi, Catherine hope all is well.

 

We have been really busy my son is moving to his new home in a few weeks and working a lot of hours so we taking care of his 2 parakeets.

 

Ricky is older than Kiwi.

 

When we take them out of the cages for exercise little Kiwi will chase after Ricky and Ricky just wants to do his own thing and trying to get him back in the cage is very difficult my son.

 

He says Kiwi is always like that but I thought the parakeets got along.

Do You Know What Glue or Bonding Materials Are Bird-safe?

Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

Jennnifer T. relates:


I’m a parent to 4 feathered friends, my eldest being a 26-year-old quaker who is way too smart for his own good.

 

I’ve been collecting old toys and have been recreating them into different toys hoping they may be interested.

 

Does anyone know of glue or other bonding material that is bird safe?

 

I’ve been using rope and twisties but could do more with glue.

 

Appreciate any feedback.

Keeping Birds and Parrots Flighted

Last Updated on February 16, 2023 by Mitch Rezman

Hello All

And thanks for your contributions to this often difficult topic.

Yes, it is true that flighted birds may have accidents, which some folks may attribute to their being flighted.

But then birds whose flight has been impaired also have accidents due to flight impairment.

Clipped birds are vulnerable to death during escape from cats, dogs and being run down by vehicles.
