Do I Need a Perch to Go Fully Across My Macaw’s Birdcage?
Marsha C. asks,
I need a 66-inch manzanita perch for my macaw’s cage.
It is a large, double-wide cage and my bird is destructive so I really need another manzanita perch.
Do you have any single branches that long?

Male Cockatiel Attacked Female and Drew Blood So I Separated Them…and More
Male cockatiel attacked female and drew blood so I separated them, but now the female laid an egg and I’m afraid of putting him back in.?
Don’t put them back together in the same cage yet. The hen does not need the male pestering her.
She may continue to lay eggs without him. You can remove the eggs as they are laid.

When and Where Did Your Bird Learn the Difference Between Right and Wrong?
When and where did your bird learn the difference between right and wrong?
How does your macaw know the difference between a $6000 Bubinga wood armoire and a $300 wooden bird play stand you bought from Windy City Parrot?
What have you done to teach your bird chewing on the stand is right, chewing on the furniture is wrong?

The Hundred Safest Bird Toys Made Today
It amazes me that a lot of bloggers have a hard time coming up with ideas. I have an inventory of ideas for our Sunday morning get-togethers. Ideas are…

What Should a 1st Time Bird Owner Know Before They Buy?
To start with, begin understanding the scope for your choice of pet birds. Here is a list of more than 500 species you can choose from each having its own nuances.
I stress making this distinction because so many people talk about things like “make sure you don’t get a bird larger than a conure or a parakeet”.
If you break down that statement it’s really nonsensical because conures range from 64 grams (green cheeks) to 280 g (Patagonians) the size of a Timneh African Grey.

Why Are My 2 Sun Conures Suddenly Fighting After 15 Years?
Cecelia B. writes,
Hi, Mitch and Catherine,
I’ve been living with conures for thirty-five years and am seeing behavior that is new to me.
I have two male Sun conures who are brothers.
They are about fifteen years old.
Until a few weeks ago, they were a very happy bonded couple, mating frequently, grooming and feeding each other, sharing a cage, and getting along just fine.
One of them, Max, recently started pulling Min’s head feathers out, pecking Min’s head and leaving bloody spots.

Will the Smell of Fresh Coffee Harm My Bird?
Monica D. asks,
I have a question.
I have a parakeet and I know that certain smells and chemicals can affect them.
I was wondering if the smell of brewing coffee would affect my bird in any way?

Can I Feed Dehydrated Quality Chicken Feet to My Budgie?
Marylinda J. would like to know,
I have appreciated your products and your information for many years.
I recently became licensed in the State of Texas to produce animal feed.
In particular, dehydrated restaurant-quality chicken feet and paws for pets.

Does It Look Like My Caique Is Getting Stress Feathers?
Susan F. is concerned,
I just noticed a patch of black on Seymour’s right side just now.
Should I be overly concerned about this enough to get her in to see the vet?
I have been giving Seymour 1/2 of a strawberry almost every day for the past two weeks.
Could that be causing this?
Also, I have been trying to file Seymour’s nails with a crystal file for the last several weeks on Sundays to get her used to it and to do a little at a time…perhaps 5 mins because she pulls away so often.
