Joyce asks: I have another question.
I like to clean my bird’s cages with small white washcloths from Costco.

Why is My Green Cheek Conure Biting Me All of a Sudden?
Elena T. is concerned:
I have a green cheek conure named Rae and he’s about 2-3 years old.
I’m not sure if Rea is a boy or a girl but I got him from the pet store pretty early on so I’m the only owner he’s ever had besides the pet store workers.
He’s a sweet bird and my family loves him but recently he’s been biting me.
Yellow-green little parrot. Looks in the mirror.
Should I Replace a Recently Deceased Parakeet?
Jen S. relates:
I had 2 parakeets in a cage together for 2 years, and one of them suddenly died today.
Should I get another bird to put in the cage with the other one? Is it a good idea to do that?

We are very sorry for your loss. Your remaining parakeet is likely confused and frightened and will be lonely.

Can Parakeets Eat Raw Quinoa?
Kurt N. inquires:
Can parakeets eat raw quinoa?
Some sites say yes some say no.
The “no” ones say it will swell up in their stomachs like rice.
But the rice one has been proven to be an urban legend. I ask though because quinoa is not rice.

Does My Birds Need Heated Perches and Warming Panels?
Barbara D. wonders:
I have 2 Blue Fronted Amazons.
I have a heated Thermo Perch in the cage but am concerned about the winter room temperature when I bring the birds out to the living room in their cage to be with us, their room is set for 68/69 but the living room is more like 66.
So I thought the Snuggle Up panel might be good to add to the perch.
They have not checked out the warm perch yet.
I have seen them on the heated perch in the winter before, this perch is second to lowest perch in their cage.
Should I raise the perch a bit higher?
How Do I Build an Outdoor Bird Cage?
Paul S. seeks advice:
My wife is getting a GCC (Green Cheek Conure) within the next month or so.
We live in the Midwest (Kansas City) and I would like to build a cage outside on our deck so our GCC can get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors.
What size recommendations would be beneficial to our new bird?
Also what kind of shading does it need?
Our deck is on the east side of the house with the sun almost all day.
