It seems to me that the PrevuePet Cockatiel Nest Box, like all the other nest boxes, has the opening for the bird located too high.
When the bird is inside it has to do a standing jump of about 5 inches to get out, in fact, I can’t quite imagine how the bird manages to get out.Â

Hello,
Disagreement with the wife.
After years of using a bottle for Eclectus and Ducorps (cockatoo), my wife has switched to a bowl.
What is healthier, a water bottle or a water bowl?
Maybe you have a discussion or topic link?
Thanks for Birdie Brunch.

I have an adorable budgie named Peanut.Â
His beak started to grow about a year ago and I wanted to know what I could do to reverse this if it is possible, I know that means he has a fatty liver.

I have two Quakers, one green one blue Zachary and Felix.
Zach is about 7 and Felix is a sweet 2 yr old.
They are in separate cages because Zachary has gotten very nasty and attacks little Felix.
Zach bites everything and everyone!
Felix loves me and nibbles but not to hurt.
How can I get Zach to stop the biting so I can get them together?

Hi,
I think your article on birds catching the covid-19 might be misleading.Â
Is there evidence of transmission from humans to birds for covid19?Â
I think it’s highly unlikely.  Â
While these viruses can occasionally jump between distantly related species, it’s not common. Â
This super rare mutation (above) is what is known as the Feather Duster budgie. They are bred for their unusual feather growth which results in shortened lifespans.Â

I have been raising parakeets for 6+ years and even handfed and took to bird stores to sell, but in the last couple of years I didn’t hand feed and they all crossbred with each other, I did not have the time to take to keep them separated.
