My 12-year-old rescue Ducorps cockatoo who I have had 5 months now, has proved to be a challenge in finding anything he will eat!

I have purchased Harrisons, Tops Higgins safflower gold, InTune, Tropican and Tropimix, freeze-dried fruits and veggies, and dried sprouted mix. I also have dried bananas, strawberries, Greenbeens.

Also, a chop mix that I keep frozen.

As well as fresh veggies and fruits.

I see you rescued an African ring-necked parrot, I love them, and I would also rescue one, so let me know if you find anymore rescues.

Unfortunately, I live in Bar Harbor, Maine…..but we will deal with that when the time comes.

I’ve combined several questions in this post, all related to feather care, you know those hundreds (thousands) of lighter than air floating things around your home, under the birdcage and on the floor.

Feathered factoid: small pet birds like budgies can have 4000 – 6000 feathers.

Larger parrots can have upwards of 8000 feathers (we count them coming out of the shop vac).

Waterbirds like ducks and swans have upwards of 10,000 feathers or more.

We have an Umbrella Crested Cockatoo – since she hatched and is now age 28. She’s very healthy all her life, good diet, exercise, toys, etc.

Georgia P. asks:

Is it absolutely necessary that my budgies be let out of the cage? One got out twice and was out 3 hrs refusing to get near his cage.

Finally, I had to catch him and put him back.

Did everything to get him back in…treats, toys.

Is It Possible My Cockatiel Has Outgrown a Size 5 Flightsuit?

Mary Writes:

Is it possible that my cockatiel has outgrown her size 5 (medium) flight suit? She was born in Feb. but lately, the suit seems to be harder to get on and “cut” into her shoulders?

Am I being a crazy birdie mom?

Thanks for your advice
