Pat D. relates,
My GCC has started biting quite a bit.
I want to do light therapy with her.
Can I keep her cage in the living room and cover him at night or should she be moved to another room to sleep?

In search of your wisdom
I have a Red Front macaw from an inheritance and his companion was a cat killed by my fault.
What other macaws would be a good fit for him?
Michelle H. wants to know,
Does my Blue and Gold Macaw go thru the terrible twos?
She picks at my clothes, my blankets, and when I put her up at night she dumps her food on the floor.

I just want to know do any parrots that are picking their feathers ever get their feathers back? Our African Gray is a picker we have tried everything, now she does wear a poncho at night.
I just want to know do they ever just Stop???

My beloved Macaw is 44 inches long including a 26-inch long tail.
I’ve searched on Amazon and everywhere for 3 years but no carrier will accommodate him and I will NOT allow his tail to be bent in a smaller one (the largest Wingabago made is still too short for him).

I am messaging about a Green (African) ringneck male I recently bought from a pet shop (who said he is 6 months old ) however he has a clear ring not on the full neck but it’s there.
Anyways the first day he didn’t eat anything, the second day he’s started to eat the mix of seeds.
He’s not hand tamed and not aggressive unless you try to grab him (which is not what I’m am trying to do)
Donna L. is concerned,
Hello!
I have heard about rope perches and all of the “pros” make sense except one con, their nails getting caught in the threads.
I don’t have Henny’s, my beautiful 21-year-old Meyers, nails clipped because she falls off of me or various other things.
She is free flight in the house, unless I am doing anything that could hurt her, or when I need my time.

My bird is 14 years old. I have had him/her since being a baby!
Every day she regurgitates about a cup full in her cage!
When I leave her with an experienced bird keeper she does not do this!
They indicated that I may be petting her in a way that arouses her and that may be the problem.
She has been doing this for years.
Could it be how I’m feeding her? Usually, I feed her orange slices, 1 cracker, 2 peanuts, and a scoop of Zupreem twice a day.
Plus I give her another couple of peanuts as a treat during the day?
Gabby M. relates
Hi all,
I make a chop of fresh veggies and if I can, fruit, but my guys do not seem to like fruit, since we incorporated it into the diet my Senegal Gabby does not eat any of his seed mix or his pellets or anything but the chop, I have incorporated beans and edamame into it for protein but am afraid he might not be getting enough protein.
I am putting it in twice a day at the evening change of food and in am before I head out so he has more to eat.
I am not sure if he gets enough protein in his diet with only the beans?
