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?
Hello,
I’ve been buying budgie supplies from you guys for over 2 years now and really enjoy your stuff.
I know that you guys have budgies and are extremely experienced with birds.
I am having some trouble with my budgies are you able to offer advice?

I agree that birds will land on any perch in the wild, but caged life is different, they have to sit on the same perch all day so it needs to be comfortable, I do gymnastics and pole so I know how uncomfortable and painful it is when the pole is too wide I can’t work with it.
Hi Mitch
I’ve been enjoying your emails for some time now.
I have an umbrella and a citron cockatoo.
We’ve been searching for two manzanita branches and just haven’t found the perfect ones yet.
Would you be able to direct me in the right direction to find a good and safe branch for them?

Hello
I read your blog of refurbishing cages.
I have an old California Cage that I LOVE. it is rusting, I am looking to have it sandblasted and powder coated.

I got two Lovebirds.
What kind of Christmas Tree & decorations can I put up?
No tiny lights I’m thinking.
And for house plants, no amaryllis, holly, or poinsettias.

Hi Windy City,
Does anyone out there clean their perches with peroxide?
Is it safe?
I’ve tried various surface cleaning methods followed by baking.
Most recently, after cleaning off loose debris, I soaked in bleach water, then steamed with a brush attachment.
During a cold spell, so I did this indoors.
In the wild, birds will land on most any tree regardless of perch size

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!”
I read that fleece isn’t safe for birds, like to cover a wood shelf with, what do you think?
My blue-front amazon is having foot problems on and off.
Last September there was a red spot on the bottom of his foot.
