I like to clean my bird’s cages with small white washcloths from Costco.

Why is My Green Cheek Conure Biting Me All of a Sudden?
Elena T. is concerned:
I have a green cheek conure named Rae and he’s about 2-3 years old.
I’m not sure if Rea is a boy or a girl but I got him from the pet store pretty early on so I’m the only owner he’s ever had besides the pet store workers.
He’s a sweet bird and my family loves him but recently he’s been biting me.

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.

What Is the Deal With Parrots that Excessively Scream?
Excessive screaming is a learned behavior that we teach our birds.
Covering your feathered companion with a blanket only teaches him or her that you will cover the cage when the scream gets out of hand.
Yelling at a screaming parrot gives the parrot the attention it seeks. Ignoring a screaming parrot is not the answer either.Â

How Long Is Too Long for Birds in Travel Carriers?
Judy M. worries about:
Hi, Mitch,
The closest avian vet to me is 2 hours away, I worry about my bird being in his travel cage or carrier ( as I have both) for so long, the trip there, the trip home, the visit itself…..
Do you think it would be extremely stressful for Alex?
He has been to an exotics vet, who is only about 15 minutes from me, he was fine.

Help ~ I Have a Greenwing Macaw Who is Almost 30 Years Old!
Sherry S. writes:
HELP! I have a Greenwing Macaw who is almost 30 years old. He has been with me since he was 2 years old. I have been told Greenwings regurgitate more than other breeds.
It seems he is especially bad this year and it’s been going on for months.

Why is My Quaker Parrot Becoming More Antisocial?
Eva W. relates:
I have an 8-year-old female Quaker parrot who is becoming more and more antisocial as she ages.
I have had her since she was a baby.
She was always very skeptical of new things and situations which is probably good.
But there was not a lot of curiosity in her behavior.
She never wanted to step up on my hand.
She bites me any chance she gets even though I am her chosen person. (more…)
