5 Answers To Questions Affecting A Parrots Domestic And Native Environments
Hi Mitch. Just a comment of concern.
Clearly, I understand the need to know a bird’s sex but I’m also very concerned about this kit that anybody can buy, including many of the idiots out there that own birds.
Editors note: not my words
Do you really want to encourage all owners to pluck their birds feathers and cut their nails too short in order to get blood for testing?
There are experienced owners out there that could do it but there are probably many more out there who could cause an emergency and pain.
I have lived with 17 budgies but I would would still go to a vet for something like that.
I wish you would write a follow up to that article to inspire caution. The article makes me very nervous frankly.

3 Captive Bird Care Myths Debunked
Myth 1: If you want your bird to be in top shape you must serve him or her organic bird food.
We offer USDA certified organic bird food pellets from Harrison’s.
It’s refuted as one of the best bird foods on the market.
We also offer Totally Organics, another fine organic blend.
The biggest misconception about organic is its purity. The majority of people assume organic means fully natural and pesticide-free but this is not close to the truth.

How Do I Stop Our 6 Parakeets From Laying Eggs and Making Babies?
Hello, I am in a bit of a situation and I’m hoping that you can help me. I have had three parakeets for almost 6 years now.
Recently one of the birds has started to lay eggs. At first we were excited, we didn’t think they would actually lay eggs since we have had them for so long.

Is A Stainless Steel Bird Cage Worth The Investment?
Message: I had topaz in the hospital and metal poisoning was one of the things that was checked..vet was stumped.
Editor’s note: Why do vets never test the water source? 63 million Americans are exposed to unsafe drinking water which is why we only give bottled water to our birds.
When I took a corner shelf down I saw he had chewed away a quarter-sized area of paint off under the shelf which he loved. so I covered that area up with a large perch and we were fine for a week. then it started again and I searched all over the cage and found another chewed are.
vet says that I need an ss cage. I would much rather have this one and a bird that isn’t chewing paint. if not the paint then the wrought iron underneath it? idk..his cbc came back ok, fecal normal all ok..but poops abnormal, weight loss,

Does an Inherited Cockatiel With a Bald Spot in an Aviary Need Foraging Toys?
There is no singular cockatiel related to the title of this post. Aside from providing expert advice to caged bird keepers I also have a passion for Search Engine Optimization as well as improving how I communicate our ideas. Apparently, I am the vortex of a digitally feathered world.
So in these stories, we’re going to talk about four unique cockatiels and their circumstances. Should anyone in our audience inherit a cockatiel with a bald spot living in an aviary with lots of foraging toys – you’re welcome.
A Brief History of Bird Cages Through Time
Oriental-style cages were popular during the Deco period, from the 1920s until the 1940s. One example, probably manufactured by Hendryx, was a round, hanging pagoda-style birdcage with a brass-wire seed screen and side-out tray (above).
The bottom was fastened to the top part of the cage with small, attached brass clips. On some models from this era, the clips were adorned with small owls or little figures of Asian men. (more…)
