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.
In 2 weeks, he lets me pet his head and loves being on my arm. He is flighted and only caged at night. His diet was previously crap...I am…
Every time I try to get my new Congo grey to sit on my hand, he bites me.
How long do I have to keep getting bitten?
Biting is never acceptable.
Not from a bird, dog, cat nor any other pet (said the lion trainer).
Getting bitten solves nothing.
One of the questions we ask here is why is your bird aggressive?
In many cases this is a hormonal issue that can partially be controlled with light.
I wear many hats at Windy City Parrot.
About 30% of my week I wear my CMO hat which means Chief Marketing Officer.
In keeping well-versed in marketing I read a huge amount of content.

I have tried to answer the post regarding the bird having strokes/seizures.
I have experience with that.
Once I try to post an answer it asks me again for a WordPress login or to just enter my login.
So twice it asks me for login but it still doesn’t work and I really want to give the person the info I know so she can discuss it with her Vet.
I don’t have Word Press and don’t do FB.
I would like to know how I can get my male Timneh not to be too territorial around his cage cause he’s a real sweetheart and a mush when he’s not guarding his cage door.
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 have a 3-year-old Milagold Macaw, and his name is Rainbow.
Rainbow likes to bite and nibble things, like my clothes, my arm and whatever he can get.
How do I get him to stop, my arm has a lot of bruises from this, is there bird training classes for this or do I just tape his mouth close (LOL) please tell me what I should do?

Hi Mitch,
I have an African Grey, Puccini and a Blue Fronted Amazon, Hitchcock.
They have been family members for dozens of years but the dander from Pu is starting to get to me.
