Editors note: In the featured image above, Barney was obsessing with the other bird in the mirror as Catherine observed.

We have since blocked access to that part of the mirror and Barney has become far more social (less hormonal). Endnote

One of the reasons we are able to stay in business going up against the likes of Amazon and Chewy is that we answer the phone and can provide useful advice.

And although PetSmart and Petco will answer the phone on a national or store level, good luck with getting information about proper care for your white-capped Pionus.

There is been a definite uptick of calls and emails seeking advice for birds exhibiting bad hormonal behavior.

Georgia P. asks:

Is it absolutely necessary that my budgies be let out of the cage? One got out twice and was out 3 hrs refusing to get near his cage.

Finally, I had to catch him and put him back.

Did everything to get him back in…treats, toys.

I have a canary and am thinking about getting a Weaver finch.

Feathered factoid: Finches are part of the canary family.

At the pets store, they were in the same cage: canaries and one Weaver finch that the owner said sings beautifully.

My young canary is just starting to sing.

Questions about a harness for My African Grey.

She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.

She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.

The thread below triggered the idea for this post.

It’s time to revisit the general subject of where to put your bird when it’s out of the cage.

It’s also time to look at some common sense pet bird-keeping ideas.

From Facebook:

“How do I get my bird to stop biting my neck?”

Answer: “Don’t put them on your shoulder until the bird is trained.”

HELP!!!!!!

I have a real problem and need to fix it asap – doing what is best for both birds ……

I purchased what I hoped was a male for my pink eyed yellow female Flash.

“Tiki” turned out to be a female and right about that time I had to move in with my elderly mother who had 2 back fractures and the birds came with me.

I also have another bonded pair male/female but the male is very old and past breeding age.

Hello Mz Tobsing

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.
