I have tried to answer the post regarding the bird having strokes/seizures.

I have experience with that.

Once I try to post an answer it asks me again for a WordPress login or to just enter my login.

So twice it asks me for login but it still doesn’t work and I really want to give the person the info I know so she can discuss it with her Vet.

I don’t have Word Press and don’t do FB.

Gwyneth asks

Is a 16 x 24 open done top actually bug enough for an Amazon parrot. I have a small space. The cage would fit much better than the 24 x 30 current cage?

Hi Gwyneth

Do you mean 24″ wide x 16″ deep?

Do you also currently have a 30″ wide x 24″ deep cage?

If your parrot is able to be outside of the cage (on top or on a stand) for several hours a day, then the smaller cage should be fine.

But if the bird is a large amazon you may wish to stay with the 30″ wide cage.

Regards,

Catherine

I would like to know how I can get my male Timneh not to be too territorial around his cage cause he’s a real sweetheart and a mush when he’s not guarding his cage door.

Good morning.

My 29-year-old Caique parrot Skeeter had a stroke 10 days ago.

The vet who treated him sent him home the same day with antibiotics and calcium; told me to keep him in his travel cage which was padded with towels, and wished me good luck.

Do You Think That Birds Are Unhappy in a Bird Cage?

The problem with Quora is that anecdotal answers are opinions, not answers.

Another problem with answering this question is where would we find benchmarks for bird happiness?

I know when my ringneck is happy eating because he talks to his food.

If anyone walks into a room where he was alone for more than 2 minutes he will insist on “conversation: with him doing most of the talking.

But communicating his happiness or displeasure about any of his birdcages (he has 4), is something still opaque to me.

I have a 3-year-old Milagold Macaw, and his name is Rainbow.

Rainbow likes to bite and nibble things, like my clothes, my arm and whatever he can get.

How do I get him to stop, my arm has a lot of bruises from this, is there bird training classes for this or do I just tape his mouth close (LOL) please tell me what I should do?
