Hi Mitch,
Have you ever done an article on the true lifespan of parrots in captivity?
When I was first researching parrots (in the early 1990s) I read in Multiple places that Greys and other large parrots lived to their 80s.
But it turns out most don’t get even close to that.
Why is it so important to understand the differences between bird species?
I’m not ashamed to say we get more deliveries from Amazon (like most Americans) then we care to talk about.
This week a new Amazon driver “Patrick” handed off an envelope then said “I’ve never been here before – this place looks cool.”
I have 2 questions.Â
I have a cockatiel that a friend gave to me.Â
When I first got it, there were clearly dark bars on the underside of the tail feathers.Â
One of the answers from the big Q.
It has been done but I personally advise against it. It is unnatural for them to hold it, and if they become too well potty trained they may harm themselves if they think they can’t go at any given time.
My answer
Parrots poop about every 15 minutes on average.
Hi Tracy
Hope all is well.
I received this inquiry and just need it fact-checked before I reply.
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.Â
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.
In 2 weeks, he lets me pet his head and loves being on my arm. He is flighted and only caged at night. His diet was previously crap...I am…
Every time I try to get my new Congo grey to sit on my hand, he bites me.
How long do I have to keep getting bitten?
Biting is never acceptable.
Not from a bird, dog, cat nor any other pet (said the lion trainer).
Getting bitten solves nothing.
One of the questions we ask here is why is your bird aggressive?
In many cases this is a hormonal issue that can partially be controlled with light.
