Lorraine H. asks
How do I keep my bird’s dander down?
Should I put a humidifier or air purifiers, in my birds’ room
Stacy T writes:
My bird is a plucker and your recent article about lighting is something I’d like to try.
I’m not sure what full-spectrum light to purchase as he has a cage that has a solid play top.

I’M SO CONFUSED!!!
I read your article about extending the daylight of a hormonal bird and if that doesn’t work, setting up artificial light for 72 hours …no vet has ever recommended this and I thought it was brilliant and much better idea then lupron!!! (you’re now my go-to resource -even before a vet..and I will support you guys anyway I can!!) it makes perfect sense.
Linda Kay asks:
Hello Catherine- wondering if you can help, maybe a suggestion, we know you can’t make a diagnosis.
We have a young (1 yr) female budgie that suddenly (overnight) became wobbly, has a hard time perching, tucks her head in her wing, and has lost interest in all budgies in the flight (12) even a best buddy.

Hello Mz Tobsing
I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.
Now I have a new problem or question, please.
I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.
The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.
All the cages sit on tables.

My birds have been on Harrison’s high potency for 13 years.
They are just so healthy, I don’t want to switch.
Birds act out at the most instinctual level – they are not playing games.
The original Quora question was:
“What does it mean if your pet bird hides under a table/chair?”
Drugs like Lupron, Haldol, and Prozac were designed and tested by the FDA on humans.
Zero long-term testing of these drugs has been performed on any bird ~ ever.
The next time a veterinarian tells you “these are safe for your bird.”
Your response should be “please provide the data that backs up your statement.”
Parakeets often are fed nothing but parakeet mix which is mainly millet and possibly a few fortified oats.
Then they are given millet spray as a treat.
Okay, well, budgies don’t live as long, or well as they could be on just millet alone.
