My 8-year-old Yellow-sided Conure is very picky about vegetables.
She will only eat three.
She likes broccoli, carrots, and snow peas.
If I try giving her sugar snap peas, which are almost the same, she knows the difference and throws them out of the bowl.

Judy M. worries about:
Hi, Mitch,
The closest avian vet to me is 2 hours away, I worry about my bird being in his travel cage or carrier ( as I have both) for so long, the trip there, the trip home, the visit itself…..
Do you think it would be extremely stressful for Alex?
He has been to an exotics vet, who is only about 15 minutes from me, he was fine.
Joan asks:
Hello. What size cage would you recommend for a Goffin Cockatoo?
Dear Joan
A Goffin can enjoy a small cage 22″ wide up to a huge cage 40″ wide or larger.
Tasha C. relates:
Hi, I have a red lored Amazon that is around 8 to 10 weeks.
We found him after a big storm.
We live in Panamá.
Charles P. has a feeding question:
I feed my Moluccan cockatoo a daily feeding of frozen mixed veg, fresh carrot, snow peas, green beans, grapes, apples and pasta, chickpeas, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs, plus Kaytee rainbow large parrot feed.
Is that a good mix of food and veggies?
Sherry S. writes:
HELP! I have a Greenwing Macaw who is almost 30 years old. He has been with me since he was 2 years old. I have been told Greenwings regurgitate more than other breeds.
It seems he is especially bad this year and it’s been going on for months.
Coloration and silence.
Bird calls that can be repeated from bird to bird for miles are one signal.
Birds are noisy unless a predator is spotted, silence translates to a broadcast message of danger.
Trish G asks:
Both are regularly seen by an Avian Diplomate Vet and are in great health, and they eat Harrisons, organic veggies (from the freezer section) and I hide sunflower seeds and pistachios all over their cage for them to hunt, which they do enthusiastically.
We take them camping and sailing with us (my husband is both patient and tolerant!).
Lucy usually lays eggs 1-2 times a year, fall and spring, and I let her sit on them at night for about 3 weeks because I found if I pull them she keeps laying more.
For the last month she’s been biting me quite hard (blood!) when I try to return her to her cage and random other times, and I’m not able to identify why.
