Hi Mitch
I have a 23-year-old Blue Crown Conure named Louie.
Monica L. is disquieted about a rent adoption
I just adopted a little white female IRN that is a picker. I’m not concerned about that. I work with my vet to keep her healthy. But how do I get her to trust me?
Egg food is a versatile supplement especially if your bird is eating nothing but seeds. The problem with the seed-only diet is that your bird is not getting enough vitamins, amino acids (necessary for feather growth), and trace elements.

I know you would rather talk about smaller birds, but this seems to bother me only!
Dear Janet
It is hard to tell why a bird doesn’t like a new hat or shirt we wear.Was your Pionus a rescue? Did it come from another home before you had him? If so, he may have been traumatized by someone who wore something similar.
If you can avoid this terror by not wearing it around your bird. It is a kind thing to do.
Catherine
There is no one single answer to that question.
Your biggest friend is patience.
How patient?
How can you get rid of the little brown bugs that come around the bird food without hurting the birds?
Is there a spray or something I can order? Thanks for your help, Carol in Tennessee
