Why is Bird Lighting So Confusing?
Laurie J writes
I’M SO CONFUSED!!!
I read your article about extending the daylight of a hormonal bird and if that doesn’t work, setting up artificial light for 72 hours …no vet has ever recommended this and I thought it was brilliant and much better idea then lupron!!! (you’re now my go-to resource -even before a vet..and I will support you guys anyway I can!!) it makes perfect sense.

Can You Help Diagnose This Ailing Budgie?
Linda Kay asks:
Hello Catherine- wondering if you can help, maybe a suggestion, we know you can’t make a diagnosis.
We have a young (1 yr) female budgie that suddenly (overnight) became wobbly, has a hard time perching, tucks her head in her wing, and has lost interest in all budgies in the flight (12) even a best buddy.

Hello Mz Tobsing
I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.
Now I have a new problem or question, please.
I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.
The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.
All the cages sit on tables.

Why Is My Bird Hiding From Me?
Birds act out at the most instinctual level – they are not playing games.
The original Quora question was:
“What does it mean if your pet bird hides under a table/chair?”

Can Light Therapy Solve These 3 Birds Hormonal Problems?
Drugs like Lupron, Haldol, and Prozac were designed and tested by the FDA on humans.
Zero long-term testing of these drugs has been performed on any bird ~ ever.
The next time a veterinarian tells you “these are safe for your bird.”
Your response should be “please provide the data that backs up your statement.”

Hello,
My male Amazon parrot who I’ve had for 30 years goes out of his way to attack my wife but not myself even though I grab him with gloved hands when he misbehaves.
