What Challenges Does Your Bird Face This Spring And Summer?

Linda F asks,

Hi, As spring approaches we look to protect furry as well as feathered friends.  Any suggestions on Frontline and heart guard type products that are safe around parrots and toos (Cockatoos) when used on three little dogs?

Thank you for all help I have received as my CAG (Congo African Grey, goffie (Goffin Cockatoo) learn to share our life together.

Is It Wrong to Trim a Baby Budgies Toe Nails?

Is it wrong to trim a baby budgies toe nails?

 

If it is wrong, then why is it wrong to trim a baby budgies toe nails?

 

This is my answer to a question on Quora.
