Is Mixing And Matching Birds In Your Home Risky?
Barbara Writes,
I love the new format so much, Mitch.

How Do I Stop an 8 Yr. Old White-bellied Caique From Chewing Everything?
Hello,
I love your birdie brunch and read it first thing every Sunday. Thank you!
I hope you can help me.
I have an 8 yr. old white-bellied Caique.
Conrad has owned me since he was 3 months old.
I am also a strong proponent of flighted birds (seems to me they were made that way), so Conrad is fully-flighted.

Why Are We Talking About Treating Bird Bite Wounds?
Were not going to start with bird bites because we’ll be talking about several first-aid challenges you may face having a bird or two in your home for several decades.
Everyone likes to think of themselves as being prepared for disaster and certainly life’s cuts and scrapes.

The Challenge Of Rescuing An Older Injured Citron Cockatoo
Thank you Constance R.
So often its important to hear from independent third parties who provide valuable feedback on our pet bird content.
Having been in the process of rescuing budgies, (current budgie census is at six) and spending a lot of time with Peaches, our Senegal parrot weighing in at about 115 g, our recent focus has been skewed towards smaller birds.
Constance has a Congo African Grey and an Umbrella Cockatoo and from her recommendations, this is going to be a cockatoo-lishish post.
