My doctor advised me to stop reading Quora posts because it worked against the blood pressure medication he is prescribing for me.
Reviewing the answers I see in the Quora thread using too many useless adverbs.
“Absolutely not” is a cop-out answer as there are no “absolutes” given over eleven thousand species of birds.
Christy has a question about our favorite vitamin
Hi. Just wondering which vitamin D supplement you would recommend. I have a blind cockatoo and I don’t have bird lighting.
I’m not sure the bird’s lighting I used before didn’t cause her cataracts.
The majority of pet bird keepers that prefer their bird’s wings clipped offer a similar response when asked about their motivation to remove the function that defines a species.
“I don’t want him to fly into a wall/window/glass table” are typical responses.

Dear Mitch and Catherine,
We are empty nesters owned by our only pets, a harligold and a greenwing macaw. After reading some of your articles on correcting parrot lighting issues, we are aware that their lighting setup needs some revamping.
Hi Mitch,
I have been searching for a “helmet” for a CAG (Congo African grey vs a TAG Timneh African grey) who has a photosensitivity issue in her eye from cataract surgery.
I want to find her a device she can were to make her eyesight more comfortable.
The parakeet in the helmet jumped out at me when I saw it. Do you know anyone who might be able to fabricate such headwear for Marie?
Another mind-bending question from quora.
Why is this question so disturbing?
Parrots are prey animals ~ Cats and dogs (as an example) are predatory animals
