Carol T. is concerned about her Sun,
We just noticed that our bird, Rajah, a Sun Conure has lost his covering of feathers, under his wings and on his back. He is 15 years old. Is this concerning? He seems fine.
Thank you for your help. Carol

We have a large aviary cage with 8 parakeet rescues, 5 girls, and 3 boys. The census has been up to 10, but a few have passed over the years.
We recently moved the cage from a bright front room in the downstairs store, upstairs to our living space where it is not as lit up from several windows but the room does have over 20 lighting fixtures).

Dear Mitch and Catherine,
We are empty nesters owned by our only pets, a harligold and a greenwing macaw.  After reading some of your articles on correcting parrot lighting issues, we are aware that their lighting setup needs some revamping.Â
Cissy R. has a new inquiry,
I’ve written before about my scarlet, Maxxi, who doesn’t like to fly.

Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo ~ Above Original question on Quora: Do pet birds like parrots and cockatoos have shorter life spans when they live with humans rather than in the wild?…
Hi, I have been looking for a house (cage) for my bird that has doors on the front and back.
Do you know of any manufacturers that carry such a design? Thank you for all your education and wonderful articles.

Lisa K. has a conundrum with taking her Amazon outside,
Hi Mitch
I have a 23-year-old Blue Crown Conure named Louie.
Hello Mitch;
Yesterday I saw your article about the doctor who told a woman with interstitial lung disease to get rid of her macaw.
What follows is what I know about this and my opinion on it.
