Dear Kajsa
I read your voicemail and wanted to send you some suggestions.
Is the bird in pain or it has a lump so that is why your father took him to the vet?

Happy New Year Catherine, This is Lisa N.
I have a quick question our boy conure Kiwi has been staying at the bottom of the cage at night he just won’t go up to one of his higher perches like he used to.
Good Afternoon Catherine & Mitch,
Happy Sunday! Hope you both are doing well!
My Caique loves toys, toys, toys. However, to keep up with the Caique demand, I run out of variety.
Steve S. is concerned about the amount of corn in bird food,
He is a companion to a Goffins cockatoo AKA Tanimbar corella
Message: We have been using Harrison’s adult lifetime fine. The first ingredient is corn. We would like to cut back on her corn consumption.
Full transparency.
We are not breeders nor sellers of birds. Catherine had her hand at breeding small parrots like lovebirds, finches, and cockatiels about 30 years ago.

Good Morning,
I loved your answer on which 3 nuts are good, WOW
My question is this, is this the time of the year where Macaws shed? My macaw the last 2 days has plucked out all of these small feathers. I am worried. HELP!!!!
Yes, they can. Birds don’t understand what the words mean. They only know what these sounds are associated with.
When I was hand-feeding Sunshine, my young Indian Ringneck parrot I would talk to him and say things like, “I Love You”, “Nummy, Nummy”, Hello” Etc
