Why Are My Green Cheek Conures Unable to Fly When Wet?

Chris T. is concerned about:

 

My 2 birds are not repelling some of the water.

 

I’m not sure how to state this but the water would bead up and not get completely wet.

 

After bathing could fly. Now they are completely wet and cannot fly.

 

I am wondering if they have a vitamin deficiency, or it can just be age?

How Do I Get My Rescue African Grey Parrot to Bathe?

Gail M. would like to know

 

My birds are all rescues.

 

I have a CAG (Congo African Grey) of about 18.

 

He is I believe in a Featherland cage.

 

Very large four feet wide and two deep dome top.

 

The dishes for food and water have a bar across to keep them from falling into the cage and having a transparent cover outside.

 

He tries to bathe in the water dish.

Should I Get a Quaker, Ringneck, or Conure?

Kayla writes to ask:

 

I’m stuck between getting a conure or a quaker (ok maybe an Indian ringneck too), and could really use advice on what current owners think.

 

I’m hoping to find a best friend who wants to be involved, cuddly, silly, and maybe even say a few words eventually.

 

I mostly don’t want one who screams and screeches all day.

 

Is a quaker on the right track?

Can I Put A Baby Budgie In With My Cockatiel?

Kim W. wants to know

 

Can I Put A Baby Budgie In With My Cockatiel?

 

Dear Kim

 

One-word answer. NO!

 

We recently were given a baby parakeet from a customer who found it outside her apartment building.

 

She could not keep it as she has an ailing bird currently and didn’t want to take a risk.
