It seems to me that the PrevuePet Cockatiel Nest Box, like all the other nest boxes, has the opening for the bird located too high.
When the bird is inside it has to do a standing jump of about 5 inches to get out, in fact, I can’t quite imagine how the bird manages to get out.

Hello,
Disagreement with the wife.

Can you suggest a few medium-sized parrot species for a 1st-time owner about to turn 60y?

Mitch: I read on line something you wrote about the possibility of training adult budgies.

They seem very happy with each other.
They are very active and chatty.

He’s fine when I am feeding him and he does come out.
He’s only out a couple of hours mostly in the early evening.
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.
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.

The perfect way to market to millennial’s is……..
A while back I wrote about
Help! My Bird’s Egg Bound but the Vet Won’t be In Until Tomorrow.
I was talking on the phone to Dr. Byron de la Navarre recently about avian vitamin D3 testing (under wraps during research) when we got off-track for a moment and began a conversation about veterinary emergency care for birds.
So your task for today after you’re done with brunch is to find a local emergency care veterinary facility (if you have one in your area), make a note, and put it on the refrigerator

Are ionized air purifiers safe for my lovebird?
Absolutely not! (MitchR)
Although marketed as being able to “scrub the air”, these “ionizers” do not remove airborne dust to a significant degree but do generate ozone, an unstable oxygen molecule (O3). Read more: (more…)
