Hi Catherine
Got the food today. I like the Goldenfeast, but I think some of the bulky items I may need to break up. Right now I am at a loss as to what I need to order for my small Timneh-grey.
Rebecca asks,
I have a question about my cockatiel. It is a male grey cockatiel. He is almost 13 years old. I take him to the Avian vet for his checkups.
Janet C. relates
Winter is around the corner and I want to get a heater for my cockatiel. I decided on the one that attaches to the side of the cage, as I wasn’t sure about adding another perch to his cage.
Lynn H. asks,
Hi Mitch,
Thank you for your helpful articles. We spoke a while back on the phone. I just read your article on parrots and their ability to speak and understand what they are saying.
Good morning Catherine,
Last night when I was cleaning my cages I noticed movement in my parakeet’s seed container.

My budgie is not digesting sunflower seeds and I’m having a hard time finding a mix seed without it. I saw some options but only say cockatiels and parrots. By any chance are any of these options suitable for budgies?
Scott S.offers some comments on making pets out of former breeder birds.
I’ve owned/fostered parrots of all types for 50+ years. I’ve always read and heard the former breeder birds don’t make good pets.
Janet C. relates,
I am in the process of getting my cockatiel “Rascal” to eat more fresh foods.
Since the intro of better lighting (thank you) I am making progress. (more…)
Scott S. is concerned,
I board my bird with a friend, who has two conures of her own.
For the past few months she has had an issue with roaches in a room dedicated solely to the birds.

Janet C. relates,
I read that sprouts can be good for your bird and OMG Rascal seems to like Bird sprouts a lot.
