Should My Budgies Nap Early So They Can Stay Up Late?
The original question on Quora was: Can I leave the lights out for my budgies for a few hours in the early evening so they can take a nap?
They usually stay up until 2am with us?Â
All birds get an extraordinarily large amount of information from sunlight both the visible spectrum that you and I can see and the invisible spectrum UVA/UVB light.
The light is sent to the pineal gland just behind the right eye where it tells the bird how long the day is and sets off melatonin cells that vibrate like micro metronomes enabling birds to tell the precise time of day – although they don’t know the day.

12 YouTubers For Parrot Lovers You Need To Know
At first I thought to myself “this’ll be fun.”
Once I started the project it was a bit more difficult than I forecasted.
I originally started with 9 YouTube channels but some favorites needed to be included not simply based upon numbers.
For those who are not following on us Facebook or our YouTube channel, you’ll note that we are ramping up our use of Fid-eo to better communicate caged bird care.

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?
Are the two above mentioned harmful when used on a dog that lives in the same house as a bird?
Thank you for all help I have received as my CAG (Congo African Grey, goffie (Goffin Cockatoo) learn to share our life together.
Would not have made it as smoothly this far without your good advice and Birdy Brunch. Thank you again. Linda,

Why Are We Talking About Treating Bird Bite Wounds?
Were not going to start with bird bites because we’ll be talking about several first-aid challenges you may face having a bird or two in your home for several decades.
Everyone likes to think of themselves as being prepared for disaster and certainly life’s cuts and scrapes. Â
I’ve personally sutured a dog in a garage (after 5 minutes of training by my vet) 🙂

The Challenge Of Rescuing An Older Injured Citron Cockatoo
Thank you Constance R.
So often its important to hear from independent third parties who provide valuable feedback on our pet bird content.
Having been in the process of rescuing budgies, (current budgie census is at six) and spending a lot of time with Peaches, our Senegal parrot weighing in at about 115 g, our recent focus has been skewed towards smaller birds.
Constance has a Congo African Grey and an Umbrella Cockatoo and from her recommendations, this is going to be a cockatoo-lishish post.
