Can You Recommend a Shallow Parakeet Bowl ?

Mary H. needs advice:

Can you recommend a shallow parakeet feeder bowl?

The one I have is 2 1/4 ” deep and the birds have to lean all the way in to eat.

Also, I can’t tell when the food is gone and just hulls left.

I tried an ‘auto feeder’ but the seed doesn’t feed down properly.

Thank you very much

Gloria W. would like to know:

My female 3 yr old bird seems afraid of heights.

I have bought her 3 different cages as she’s aged and the latest is maybe 20 long 18 wide and 30 high.

Would a flight cage for finches be ok for her?

Susan S. is concerned about supplements for her green cheek conure:

I have a green cheek conure named Jax.

He will be 8 years old in December.

He was acting lethargic and ill.

I purchased Nekton-S multi-vitamin and put it in his drinking water.

What Do You Recommend for a 25-year-old Hahns Macaw?

Linda C. is curious:

I have a 25-year-old Hahns macaw.

I feed him a mix of Pretty Bird medium select pellets and Doctor Foster and Smith cockatiel seed.

I also have a separate side dish that has Tropimix formula for small parrots in his cage.

In addition, I give him fresh veggies, eggs, grapes, etc. twice a day.

Hi Mitch,

In response to the comment about travel cages, I have found a solution.

My Senegal parrot (Gonzo) did not like to hang out in a smaller cage.

So I got her a reasonably-sized cage that I can use for her travel or if she needs to stay with someone.

I can drive with it and strap the cage into a seat belt.

I set it up in another room and left the cage door open. She has started playing inside it and seems to like it.

Now, with COVID-19, I am working from home, and need it to be quiet when I’m on the phone.

How Much Lighting Will I Need for My New Bird Room?

Stephanie M. needs to know:

Hi. I am building a new house with a bird room (for a 30+-year-old female Moluccan cockatoo) located in the middle of the house (where all the excitement happens).

It will have a drain and water for easy cleaning, plus doors for nighttime.

It will also have appropriate lighting.

I will need to install wet-protected light fixtures (easiest is typical shower recessed 6″ fixtures that take standard Edison base bulbs).

That’s my question…if the room is 10’2″W x 5’6″D x 8′ 4″H, how many lights do I need?

Thanks for any advice you can lend
