Kimberly asks
Is Zupreem a good brand for a GCC?
What brands of pellets do you recommend?
Dear Kimberly
Zupreem is a very popular bird food pellet. It is a commonly found variety found almost everywhere. It is puffed and contains sweeteners which cause the birds to take to it easier than many other pellets.
I recently was very excited to purchase TOPS birdseed.
Well, no matter what I do, will my 40-year-old Yellow-headed Panamanian Parrot eat any of this seed.
A lot of money wasted again.

Can anyone tell me why my cockatiel won’t eat sunflower seeds when it is in the food?
There is always a lot of waste. (more…)
We just rescued another bird and I drove 794 miles less than I did for the last one.
Of our bird-related calls, most are people seeking to acquire a “new bird”.
We will always refer them to the closest bird rescue in their area.
Yesterday (2/11/20) we got a call from a woman in Cedar Lake about 6 miles from our new place in Lowell.
(Talk about a bird rescue near me)

How many do you have?
Were any of them tame when you received them?
How long have you had the birds?

My Timneh (grey) only wants to bite me when I am cleaning his cage which is mostly in the evening.
He’s fine when I am feeding him and he does come out.
He’s only out a couple of hours mostly in the early evening.
I have a Rosella parrot, whose feathers are not clipped. He is not the type of bird to interact with but none the less he is a cherished…

I purchased a 3-month-old Quaker parrot, suspecting it was a female. I was told she was hand-fed. I’ve had her for over a month now. But she is petrified of hands.
I’ve been placing my hand (palm down) to hold a treat near her cage door, she usually takes it.
