Too Many Sunflower Seeds in Volkman Ecky
Susan G writes
Hi Mitch and Catherine.
I have been feeding my Eclectus Volkman seed for Eclectus for a long time.
Seems in the last year the bags are half full of sunflower seeds.
I reached out to the company and they said they would look into it but needed numbers off the bag.
Didn’t save the bag but told them I could order a small one to get numbers.

Can you advise me about lighting for my six-month-old female cockatiel?

How Much Freedom Should Our Young Cockatiel Have?
We have a 2-month-old cockatiel and was told to limit his time out of the cage.
15 mins in the morning and 15 mins at night.
For at least 2 weeks.
Curious as to why this is so important?

What Size Rope Perches For A 45 YO Double Yellow-head Amazon?
Hi, my vet suggested differently sized rope perches for Yago, my 45 yr. old (double yellow-headed) Amazon.
His main perch (rope) is the one on top.
It is a bit long so it droops a bit.
I think it is about 1/2 inch in diameter.
I measured the diameter of the cage at 20″. Pretty sure that should be the size for his main one.

Why Does My Birds Behavior Change In Spring?
It’s spring, which means some of you may have noticed your bird’s behavior has begun to change a bit which may mean, your bird’s hormonal cycle has begun to change.
You can expect many changes but above all expect the unexpected.

Setting The Record Straight About Feeding Eclectus Parrots
Susan G writes:
There is so much conflicting information on pellets and Eclectus parrots (the potential to overload on vitamins).
I have been giving them about 10 [pellets] a couple times a week.
I wanted to know your thoughts on this.
I do try to feed them a very balanced diet but I know we can’t cover everything.
Thanks for your help.
