Hello Mz Tobsing
I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.
Now I have a new problem or question, please.
I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.
The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.
All the cages sit on tables.

My birds have been on Harrison’s high potency for 13 years.
They are just so healthy, I don’t want to switch.
Birds act out at the most instinctual level – they are not playing games.
The original Quora question was:
“What does it mean if your pet bird hides under a table/chair?”
Drugs like Lupron, Haldol, and Prozac were designed and tested by the FDA on humans.
Zero long-term testing of these drugs has been performed on any bird ~ ever.
The next time a veterinarian tells you “these are safe for your bird.”
Your response should be “please provide the data that backs up your statement.”
Parakeets often are fed nothing but parakeet mix which is mainly millet and possibly a few fortified oats.
Then they are given millet spray as a treat.
Okay, well, budgies don’t live as long, or well as they could be on just millet alone.

Hi, I hope you can help. I have been feeding my female Grey for years on Harrison’s Bird Foods High Potency Coarse.
Been getting the pellets from Amazon.
When we started this latest bag, she started just grinding the large pellets (not sure if she is eating them) and scattering them about the cage.

My Cockatiel, Woody, turned 25 this year.
Is that good for a cockatiel and why do you think he is still going strong?

My male Umbrella cockatoo 17 yrs has cloacal prolapse for many years. He eats a variety of fruits, vegetables, pasta, oatmeal, egg whites besides a variety of pellets.
We make sure food is room temp and not warm.
He gets petted on his head and neck.
Very active and is very used to us cleaning around that area.
Hello,
My male Amazon parrot who I’ve had for 30 years goes out of his way to attack my wife but not myself even though I grab him with gloved hands when he misbehaves.
