What do I feed 3 budgies that aren’t fond of anything except millet and Avicakes and Baked Munchies?
Love your Sunday morning e-mails.
Question … what do you feed the Windy City Parrot Brunch Club?
I have three parakeets and they aren’t fond of anything except millet and Avicakes and Baked Munchies.
Thanks!

I have a 3-year-old Milagold Macaw, and his name is Rainbow.
Rainbow likes to bite and nibble things, like my clothes, my arm and whatever he can get.
How do I get him to stop, my arm has a lot of bruises from this, is there bird training classes for this or do I just tape his mouth close (LOL) please tell me what I should do?
Should a patient receive radiation therapy be separated from his pet bird?
Christy Writes:
My husband will be receiving radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer soon.
I want to buy a budgie, but my mom says that they are birds that can cause “brain paralysis”.
We live in Canada, so I’m pretty sure they’re careful about things like that.
Anyhow, could it be true?

Hi Mitch,
I have an African Grey, Puccini and a Blue Fronted Amazon, Hitchcock.
They have been family members for dozens of years but the dander from Pu is starting to get to me.
I recently realized that I might have “Bird fancier’s lung” (bronchitis caused by sensitivity to dust from feathers and droppings).
Should I give away my pet bird?
Lori asks
I received 2 parakeets as a present and everything for them.
I found out one is male and the other is female.
How would I know if the female is pregnant?
Absolutely!
Watch this osprey get fully submerged.
I find it amazing that the bird has enough energy to take off as water-laden as it got.
Note the “rounded” wing flap necessary for enough lift to fully emerge and propel itself from the surface carrying not only the fish but a few pounds of water caught up in its feather (integumentary) system.
This is a follow up to last week’s post asking
So
Weezie asked “so what can I use for bird safe air fresheners”?
Denise asks
I have an Amazon and a hahns macaw.
Can you please tell me what oils are safe to use once in a while in my diffusers?
I have used Scentsy, and also bath and body works candles not a lot of use at all as the scents sort of even bother me!
thank you appreciate it.
Denise
