First I want to say I love your Birdie Brunch Newsletter because I can scroll through it quickly, pick out the articles I want to read, and just view those.
It’s one of only 2 newsletters I actually look at in my email!
So I have a question about beak and nail trimming.
I have 2 questions.
I have a cockatiel that a friend gave to me.
When I first got it, there were clearly dark bars on the underside of the tail feathers.
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.
I wear many hats at Windy City Parrot.

Good morning.
My 29-year-old Caique parrot Skeeter had a stroke 10 days ago.
The vet who treated him sent him home the same day with antibiotics and calcium; told me to keep him in his travel cage which was padded with towels, and wished me good luck.
The problem with Quora is that anecdotal answers are opinions, not answers.
Another problem with answering this question is where would we find benchmarks for bird happiness?
I know when my ringneck is happy eating because he talks to his food.
If anyone walks into a room where he was alone for more than 2 minutes he will insist on “conversation: with him doing most of the talking.
But communicating his happiness or displeasure about any of his birdcages (he has 4), is something still opaque to me.
I recently realized that I might have “Bird fancier’s lung” (bronchitis caused by sensitivity to dust from feathers and droppings).
Should I give away my pet bird?
