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.
Cissy R. has a new inquiry,

Hi, I have been looking for a house (cage) for my bird that has doors on the front and back.

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;

What follows is what I know about this and my opinion on it.

I have a parrotlet that had a cut on the inside of her front toe, being the longest toe at the front toe. She was vet checked but didn’t receive much help.

Jane S. asks,
Would getting another caique be the right thing? Doyou know of a breeder? I had him and trained him for 16 years- I could use some advice.
