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.Â
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.

Mary G. related,
I adopted a 29-year-old African grey from a local bird sanctuary in June.Â
My downstairs is an open plan, so if I am in the living area or kitchen area, I leave the cage open for him to get to his playtop.

I have an adorable african grey named Sammee and she has been with me for 25 years.
Catherine Mc. related,
Hello and thank you both, Mitch & Catherine, for your Birdie Brunch each Sunday.
I just lost my beloved Fred (a parakeet) and not sure what happened. I was very close to him, as was my other parakeet, Eddie.
Hi,
I tried the 72-hour light treatment with my female Great Billed Parrot and the first night after it was done she laid another egg – please advise!

I really like reading all the information you provide about birds, and most particularly, domesticated ones.
I just read your latest that talks about the way to arrange walls of toys and the reasons for doing that.
