Laurie asks
Can ultrasound plug-in pest controls harm caged birds? Thanks
Hi Laurie
I would not take the chance – if its an ionic version it can definitely be harmful
I have had my male African grey parrot for 28 years.
When he matured sexually years ago he started plucking.
I have him on a plumage supplement now and he has lots of new quills and looks much better.
However, he humps my arm with a thick sweater on.
He goes to completion if I let him once a day.
Question from Donna Stone
Firstly what is Feliway Diffuser?
According to their website.
FELIWAY CLASSIC Diffuser is a clinically proven solution to comfort cats at home and may help decrease urine spraying, scratching or hiding.

Hello. We have a 7 year old African grey.
Unfortunately, we made a mistake and did not train him properly.
We get the following phone call on a regular basis.
Me: “Hello, Windy City Parrot”.
Caller: “Hi do you all sell talking parrots?”
If you are a bird person you know there is no such as a “guaranteed to talk”, parrot.
In the wild, birds will land on most any tree regardless of perch size
Or
Why we don’t know Jack about proper perch sizes for caged birds
All these bloody geniuses on the Internet.
YouTube rock stars of bird care.
Where are you getting your information?
Avian vets have the ability to predict the outcome of interactions between multiple birds.
“Don’t put that bird near the other bird – an attack is imminent!”
From a Facebook fan last night
I’ve got a Catalina macaw that has a problem of plucking, I took her to the vet, she has a clean bill of health, now if anyone can help with the feather plucking problem, I would appreciate it, Thanks
From a customer on the West Coast during a phone call this week
“My 14-year-old lovebird began to pluck for no reason at all.
We have him on the best foods we can provide like Harrison’s pellets but we had to put a collar on her to stop the feather loss.
Nothing has changed in her life and she is fully flighted”
“The only thing a Hyacinth macaw needs is an adult tricycle”
A big shout out to Carl Bryant mentioning Windy City Parrot where the sun never sets empire and our avian-centric Birdie Brunch served every Sunday morning at 7 AM wherever you are on the planet in answer 2 of the Quora question How Do I Care For A Hyacinth Macaw?
Let’s continue to answer one.
“If you don’t know anything about parrots. for God’s sake do not get a Hyacinth Macaw!”
A couple of weeks ago we talked about “You Are Sick With No Caique Caregiver – Now What?“
In this follow-up thread we learn that “yes, it can always be worse.”
Hello Catherine,
I had written to you several weeks ago pertaining to the safety of microwaveable popcorn.
Two weeks ago, this coming Monday, I had kidney surgery and returned to my apartment door being busted into (door locks forcibly opened).
For those of you new to the discussion I recently reposted an evergreen article about the effect of feral cats on earth’s bird population.
This is a question from one of our nearest and dearest customers along with my response.
Hi Mitch. You know me.
I’m a long-time customer of your store and will continue to be as long as the three of us are still alive on this earth.
So it is with respect and affection that I tell you that it is irresponsible of you to deny that feral cats are harming wild birds.
