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.

I’m feeling a bit cantankerous “hey you kids get off my lawn” and argumentative.
The source of which can be found in the second post in this week’s Birdie Brunch.
First a Popcorn update
I can’t with certainty say she is fine.
She still pants after flying.
What size cage is the minimum size for one small budgie?
The experts have all sorts of rules on proper cage sizing.
“It needs to be this size and shape in height”.
“In needs to have levels on this and that”.
“The bar spacing MUST be…….”
So here’s my deal with the experts
At first I thought to myself “this’ll be fun.”
Once I started the project it was a bit more difficult than I forecasted.
I originally started with 9 YouTube channels but some favorites needed to be included not simply based upon numbers.
For those who are not following on us Facebook or our YouTube channel, you’ll note that we are ramping up our use of Fid-eo to better communicate caged bird care.
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.
I’ve personally sutured a dog in a garage (after 5 minutes of training by my vet) 🙂
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.
I consider myself to be somewhat influential in the avian niche.
Professionally I subscribe to a handful of YouTube channels with other avian influencers producing a huge amount of video content for channels with massive numbers of subscribers.
The apparent criteria for being a YouTube avian influencer is to “have birds”

Hi, Love your website !
Thank you for that.
I’m hoping you can help me with training and integrating my birds.
I made the mistake of getting 4 budgies at the same time.
Doh !
