I’m feeling a bit cantankerous “hey you kids get off my lawn” and argumentative.
The source of which can be found in the second post in this week’s Birdie Brunch.
First a Popcorn update
I can’t with certainty say she is fine.
She still pants after flying.
An oft asked question by caged bird keepers is “how do I give my bird powdered supplements”?
Pet bird supplement manufacturers are very good at letting us know what is in the supplements and providing us with precise dosages based upon the size of the bird.
What they never tell us is how to get the supplements IN the bird.
We allow ourselves to be stressed on so many levels these days.
Keeping up with social media contacts.
Fixing all the things that break in our lives – kitchen appliances – automobiles
Just getting to and from work can be an adventure.
So who wouldn’t say “no” to a day at the spa? (more…)

from “comments” in a recent order confirmation email,
he is less than a year old and screams loudly when he cannot see me. I am hoping the calm herb will be effective when my neighbors are home. 🙂
Or just gives me a break when I need it. I took him to my mom’s for Christmas and she was not happy about the loudness. 🙁

A patient of mine highly recommended you. I’ve watched some of the biting videos but you see I took in a rescue sun conure. We believe it’s male. It humps everything right now.
His wings are not clipped mind you and I’m not against doing it if it will help.
My issue is not only is he hand shy but also a biter really bad.
We believe he is 4-5yo.
Where should I start and how?
Can we talk? YouTube just broke up with us Trust me it was them not us. Here's part of the email I received last Sunday afternoon: We'd like to inform you…
What size cage is the minimum size for one small budgie?
The experts have all sorts of rules on proper cage sizing.
“It needs to be this size and shape in height”.
“In needs to have levels on this and that”.
“The bar spacing MUST be…….”
So here’s my deal with the experts

Hello.
We have a 7 year old African grey.
Unfortunately we made a mistake and did not train him properly.
We are having problems with his behavior.
He attacks.
He bites.
He is angry.
He only obeys one person in the house.
Is it too late to train him? Who can we turn to?
Thank you.
What to feed that beautiful feathered being in the cage across the room?
Facebook is an endless source of poorly regurgitated information about everything from bird chops to smoothies (really?)
