My Cockatiel Has Laid 9 Eggs in the Past Two Months What Can I Do?
Mary J. is concerned about her cockatiel,
Hi,
I was wondering if I could ask your advice? My cockatiel has laid 9 eggs in the past two months–no mate. Do I need to be concerned enough to take her to the vet? It’s $185 a visit….thank you. She is healthy and happy and energetic as always.

Can My Red-Bellied Parrot Return Home Without Issue After A Long Time Elsewhere?
Jean T. relates,
I had an 8 year old red bellied parrot for about 4 years. I had to give her to a friend due to a family situation at my house (hopefully in a year I can bring her back home). I would like to visit my parrot but I was wondering if this would be too hard on her. So my question is visit or no visit?

Can You Help Me With Lighting for My Eclectus Parrot?
Victoria K. has an avian lighting question,
hi there, I purchased this hanging full spectrum light for my Eclectus a while ago and can’t seem to find the setup instructions (and don’t see them on your website).
Would it be possible for you to provide it to me?
Green Bean is in his cage 12-14 hours/day and is otherwise on a playstand most days unless I am away from home.
Is it ok for this light to be on for a full 12 hours (I am not often gone that long but just want to make sure because I think one of your articles mentions that retina damage can occur with more than 4-5 hours of UVA/UVB lighting in certain circumstances)?

Are Any Food or Supplements Able to Reduce My IRNs Plucking?
Kathy M. has concerns about her Molting IRN (Indian ringneck) parrot
Agni, our 12-year-old IRN parrot is molting.
We live in California. This one is a big molt, so he looks really scruffy.
I’m wondering if there is anything particular in food or supplements that could be helpful.

Just wondering about your thoughts. Thank you. K

What Kind of Humidifier Do You Recommend for Us and Our Birds?
Lisa N. writes,
Good Sunday afternoon Catherine hope you had a great holiday, I just have 2 quick questions.
The first is what kind of humidifier do you recommend for us and our birds, second our Reggie girl and Kiwi boy have been fighting a lot lately they are not even preening each other and if we leave one in the cage while the other one is out the bird that is out will keep flying over to the cage and then they fight threw the bars I know 72 hr doesn’t cure anything and I know birds are birds it’s just hard to watch them fighting instead of being best friends anything you can suggest would be helpful.
Thanks, Lisa N.
