It’s 17 years I have my bird and his beak grows so fast, I try to clip it with a nail clipper but sometimes it bleeds, can you tell how best I can cut his beak.
Gloria W. is concerned about her budgie’s feather growth.
First – I enjoy your Sunday messages very much. Thank you.
Now a question. From all i have tried to research I think my budgie is growing primary feathers as I purchased him one wing trimmed.

Hi,
I have a parrotlet that had a cut on the inside of her front toe, being the longest toe at the front toe. She was vet checked but didn’t receive much help.

My 9-year-old conure is having an issue with his beak.
Two months ago I had his Avian vet trim his top beak as it was very long. Less than a month later his bottom beak got really long. So back to the Vet Jax went. The vet said to give him hard nuts to chew or a cuttlebone.

Jane S. asks,
Would getting another caique be the right thing? Doyou know of a breeder? I had him and trained him for 16 years- I could use some advice.
Miriam writes to us with a concern,
Hello there! Trying to find a past blog relating to my current situation, and value your input.
My Caique is staying with my parents for about 37-40 days. He likes them but I miss him tremendously & hear him scream for me when he hears me on the phone or FaceTime. I will need him to have some distance too from my husband for a while since he got a transplant once we get home.
Wondering how Mango will be when he sees us again – do birds just forget us? Thank you so much for your help
One has a bald spot on her head. Both are female (both have laid eggs in the past) . They are allowed out but now they seem to stay inside or on top of their cage for most of the day. Do you think it is due to their age?
Jim relates,
We have a 12-year-old lovebird.
He’s had all kinds of injuries over the past 5 yrs and early last year we discovered he has glaucoma.
We found him on the floor which is very unusual and realized he injured himself …he now has tilted his head to the left and can’t lift it straight up or hold it in the position much longer.
