Barbara D. wonders:

I have 2 Blue Fronted Amazons.

I have a heated Thermo Perch in the cage but am concerned about the winter room temperature when I bring the birds out to the living room in their cage to be with us, their room is set for 68/69 but the living room is more like 66.

So I thought the Snuggle Up panel might be good to add to the perch.

They have not checked out the warm perch yet.

I have seen them on the heated perch in the winter before, this perch is second to lowest perch in their cage.

Should I raise the perch a bit higher?

Shelly A. wants to help another owner’s macaw

There is a greenhouse that changed hands a year ago, and they have a Macaw named Baby, in a chain link dog kennel type enclosure with one toy, no perches, no real interaction, and lives on parrot kibble like a stray dog.

I’ve spoken with an employee, but Baby doesn’t have an owner, just a business bird that nobody really takes care of.

The employees do the best they can, I just recently moved into this area or I would have done something sooner.

Andi S. wonders about heat lamps:

Hello, Do you have a sturdy floor lamp base for the ceramic heat bulb that you sell?

I have a yellow nape Amazon.

The vet says to have heat 80-85 degrees.

Which wattage will reach this temperature?

David K. is conflicted:

I am conflicted about what I read about artificial lights for birds.

I have cockatiels.

My avian vet says to be careful about such lighting which can damage a bird’s eyes (retina).

My vet has had first-hand experience with this.

I currently use ZooMed Avian sun lamps, overhead.

Jim G. inquires:

For many many years, we have covered our Greys cage at night.

Then about 10 years ago I met a woman who is a certified African Grey rescuer. She said ABSOLUTELY NOT!

That parrots of course originated in natural environments and had to be at all times able to detect danger.

Gloria W. would like to know:

My female 3 yr old bird seems afraid of heights.

I have bought her 3 different cages as she’s aged and the latest is maybe 20 long 18 wide and 30 high.

Would a flight cage for finches be ok for her?

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.

Barb H. asks:

I’d appreciate advice on integrating parrots into a 36′ X 10 communal aviary for 8 amazons & 2 macaws.

These birds have all lived together in the same room divided by partitions. Although separated, they can see each other and communicate.

Since they’re familiar with each other, I’m hoping for a painless transition.
