Happy New Year Catherine this is Lisa. I just wanted to let you know that Reggie and Kiwi are getting along like best friends. There have been no problems with Reggie attacking Kiwi they love being together. Thank you for that lighting treatment.

What is the best way to introduce my Quaker to his new cage?
Greetings Mark,
What I have always done is assemble the cage in the same room assuming there is room for all the components prior to putting it all together.
The room should be well lit and early in the day. You may want to wait until Saturday for more time.
Hello, I’m writing this because I have a 10-year-old Cockatiel female.
I’ve had her since I was 14 and she’s the most important thing in my life.
She’s gone through a lot though and has had to survive 2 emergency surgeries to save her life.
Becoming egg-bound and near-death both of these times due to chronic egg laying.
I don’t know what to do to help.
Hi!
I’m noticing that the Amazon is not wild about having much better food than the crap she used to get from Petco, and she’s normally all about mealtime.
(The African Grey was never as interested in meals as the Amazon).
Considering what I’ve ordered from you in the past, is there anything you would recommend that I try for the next order?
Thanks!
Best,
Eva

I misplaced the recipe for the combination of the seed mixture you had for parakeets.
Using Hagens clay, greens, canary seed, parakeet seed.
My budgies really like that combination and I need to make more.
I’m looking for a good quality seed mix for my 4 birds

Hi.
I’m looking for a good quality seed mix for my 4 birds – a CAG, a Yellow-Shouldered Amazon, a Meyers, and a Caique.
I’m currently using Vita Parrot by Sun Seed but it’s become really filthy over the years.
I actually, pick out the papaya because it’s so filthy and looks so gross, I don’t want my birds eating it.
So that’s where I’m coming from and I wonder if you could please recommend a few of your top mixes.

One of our two cockatiels passed today.
We have had a pair of males for 14 years and they were 4-6 years old when we got them.
Nancy W asks,
I have a yellow-naped amazon.
He is approximately 7-8 years old.
We got him as a baby.
He talks very little still.
What can I do to make him talk more?

My blue crown conure of at least 25yrs is acting odd. He seems to be scratching and bobbing as well as if he’s just very uncomfortable.
I recently ordered some peanuts in the shell and would give him 3-4 each day as a treat.
I started noticing very small moths in my home that lead back to the bag of peanuts that was teaming with larvae.
Do you think my conure is in danger from eating these peanuts?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hello! I have a very hormonal male sun conure around ~10 years old. When he is out of his cage with me, all he wants to do is regurgitate anywhere and everywhere and go in my clothes.
Even in his cage, he regurgitates on things and humps some of his toys. I’m just not sure what kind of setup I can provide for him that will calm him down and let him play and have interests other than mating. 🙁
Do you have tips? Most tips seem to be for female birds, I’ve never had such a hormonal male though!
