Jim G. inquires:

For many many years, we have covered our Greys cage at night.

Then about 10 years ago I met a woman who is a certified African Grey rescuer. She said ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Excessive screaming is a learned behavior that we teach our birds.

Covering your feathered companion with a blanket only teaches him or her that you will cover the cage when the scream gets out of hand.

Yelling at a screaming parrot gives the parrot the attention it seeks. Ignoring a screaming parrot is not the answer either.

I’m having a heck of a time trying to decide.

Which size Aviator flight harness to purchase for my Meyers Parrot who weighs about 80 grams.(for the record – most Meyers parrots wear an X-Small flight harness)
Would buying a flight harness help after all?

This little parrot didn’t have a great home life when I bought her last July. She has since had a full vet workup in Aug.
