I’ve combined several questions in this post, all related to feather care, you know those hundreds (thousands) of lighter than air floating things around your home, under the birdcage and on the floor.

Feathered factoid: small pet birds like budgies can have 4000 – 6000 feathers.

Larger parrots can have upwards of 8000 feathers (we count them coming out of the shop vac).

Waterbirds like ducks and swans have upwards of 10,000 feathers or more.

Debbie S. writes: Hi! I got your contact info from a long-time bird-loving friend. I reached out to “Gloria” yesterday as she has lots of birds and bird knowledge and we have 1 bird. We have an Umbrella Crested Cockatoo – since she hatched and is now age 28. She’s very healthy all her life, good diet, exercise, toys, etc.

Georgia P. asks:

Is it absolutely necessary that my budgies be let out of the cage? One got out twice and was out 3 hrs refusing to get near his cage.

Finally, I had to catch him and put him back.

Did everything to get him back in…treats, toys.

Is It Possible My Cockatiel Has Outgrown a Size 5 Flightsuit?

Mary Writes:

Is it possible that my cockatiel has outgrown her size 5 (medium) flight suit? She was born in Feb. but lately, the suit seems to be harder to get on and “cut” into her shoulders?

Am I being a crazy birdie mom?

Thanks for your advice

Brandi T. seeks cockatiel advice:

Hi! I’ve been reading and learning from you guys for the last 8 years.

So I’m really hoping you have some advice for me!

Recently we’ve adopted a female cockatiel, Roxy.

She came from a high profile hoarding case here in Michigan.

She’s one of over 200 animals who lived under garbage, in cages of twenty plus birds, most of which were eating their mates and young.

I have a canary and am thinking about getting a Weaver finch.

Feathered factoid: Finches are part of the canary family.

At the pets store, they were in the same cage: canaries and one Weaver finch that the owner said sings beautifully.

My young canary is just starting to sing.

Questions about a harness for My African Grey.

She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.

She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.

Our cockatiel, who we rescued from our tree outside about 5-6 yrs ago, passed away Thursday.

We have a 4 yr old cockatiel.

She was only 3 months old when we got her.

The question is should we get another cockatiel for a friend for the 4 yr old?

The thread below triggered the idea for this post.

It’s time to revisit the general subject of where to put your bird when it’s out of the cage.

It’s also time to look at some common sense pet bird-keeping ideas.

From Facebook:

“How do I get my bird to stop biting my neck?”

Answer: “Don’t put them on your shoulder until the bird is trained.”

Marie A. reached out:

HELP!!!!!!

I have a real problem and need to fix it asap – doing what is best for both birds ……

I purchased what I hoped was a male for my pink eyed yellow female Flash.

“Tiki” turned out to be a female and right about that time I had to move in with my elderly mother who had 2 back fractures and the birds came with me.

I also have another bonded pair male/female but the male is very old and past breeding age.
