File under “the universe is too complicated to be arbitrary” which begs the question “does a dyslexic agnostic believe in dog?”

This has become a helluva slippery slope.
0 to 10 budgies in 25 months.
They are in this big beautiful Prevue F050 aviary.
They’ve created their own micro-culture.
Is this a proper budgie cage set up?
First of all you do not indicate the bird’s lifestyle.
Will this be a solitary bird who spends a lot of time in the cage or will the bird be out of the cage a lot and basically used for sleeping?
Why Is My Cockatiel Pulling Feathers From Under His Wings
From: JANNINE P
Dear Mitch
I wanted to ask for your advice.
My male cockatiel is pulling his feathers out from under his wings.
Good morning, I get your newsletter every Sunday.
We have an elenora cockatoo (aka medium sulfur crested) that we have had for 21 years.
We got her when she was 4 months old.
Within the last two years she has started to yell.
Within the last year it has gotten real bad.

Hello, I am hoping you can help me.
About three weeks ago I got a baby parakeet, I was told the bird was 10 weeks old.
The bird had black on its beak, and the cere was still purple in color.
What are the most difficult parrots to keep as pets for most bird owners?
First a little housekeeping.
When we talk about species of birds, it’s important to be specific.
To say that “cockatoos are needy” would be inaccurate.
The quality of light has little use for a pet bird. It’s the light cycle that means everything.
Is lighting necessary to house parrots properly?
Are there any specific requirements for the lighting?
Think of a bunch of garden hoses banded together arbitrarily shooting water out one or the other.
As opposed to a “firehose” of information.
Now you know what fielding questions about captive bird care looks like to us.
We don’t know where it’s going to come from – Disqus, our blog, one of three ways you can contact us directly on the website or email.
Just organizing the questions is a task in-and-of-itself.
