Why Are My Green Cheek Conures Unable to Fly When Wet?

Chris T. is concerned about:

My 2 birds are not repelling some of the water.

I’m not sure how to state this but the water would bead up and not get completely wet.

After bathing could fly. Now they are completely wet and cannot fly.

I am wondering if they have a vitamin deficiency, or it can just be age?

How Do I Get My Rescue African Grey Parrot to Bathe?

Gail M. would like to know

My birds are all rescues.

I have a CAG (Congo African Grey) of about 18.

He is I believe in a Featherland cage.

Very large four feet wide and two deep dome top.

The dishes for food and water have a bar across to keep them from falling into the cage and having a transparent cover outside.

He tries to bathe in the water dish.

Grae W. wonders

Hello, I have two 21-year-old grays, that I have had since they were young babies.

They are very healthy and happy birds. In the winter months, in the south (NC), I put them out in their cage on sunny, non-windy days, if it’s above 47 degrees.

As their cage loses the sun, I bring them in, and put them on their perch, in a glass door walk-in shower.

I have asthma, so must not bring in their cage.

Barbara is concerned about her Sennie:

My 23 yr. old Senegal has stopped eating his Harrison’s pellets which he has been eating most of his life.

He is eating fruit, veggies, Nutriberries & Avicakes.

Should I be concerned?

Should I try a different pellet? Thank you for your help.

Subject: Re: Hi June ~ How to Remodel Cages to Reduce 2 Bird’s Hormonal Behavior

Hi Mitch,

Do birds get coronavirus? I had it about a month ago.

My two parakeets have become so quiet and sleep alot.

I changed where I keep them thinking a change would help.

Some but not much.

Can they know I haven’t been very well?

Thank God I have recovered any thoughts?

Are Vitamins Necessary When My Bird is on a Pellet Diet?

Michael G. asks:

Hi, Mitch.

I was using a powdered vitamin in Little Girl and Big Boy’s water. When I began using Roudybush pellets they recommended discontinuing the vitamin. I took them at their word and don’t see any ill effects after 8 months.

I’m wondering if birds are like I’ve been told about humans, rid themselves of unwanted vitamins?

We use a spray bottle on a mist regularly.

It is amazing to see their wingspan as it doesn’t seem possible they can spread out as they do! (more…)

Steve S. asks:

Have you ever used Natra Pet bird bath spray on your birds?

I have a 14-year-old male cockatiel who seems to be preening more than usual since his last molt.

He has been on Harrison’s High Potency Super Fine his entire life until this year when he needed a toenail trim.

Chris M. seeks budgie advice:

Hello, I enjoy your site and your advice very much.

My wife and I just got our hand raised Budgerigar, the bird is very affectionate and spends quite a bit of time on our shoulders.

Recently it has started to preen us, the issue is that it’s preening can be painful as it will focus on skin imperfections or small folds of skin and nip quite hard.
