I’ve searched on Amazon and everywhere for 3 years but no carrier will accommodate him and I will NOT allow his tail to be bent in a smaller one (the largest Wingabago made is still too short for him).

Donna L. is concerned,

Hello!

I have heard about rope perches and all of the “pros” make sense except one con, their nails getting caught in the threads.

I don’t have Henny’s, my beautiful 21-year-old Meyers, nails clipped because she falls off of me or various other things.

She is free flight in the house, unless I am doing anything that could hurt her, or when I need my time.

Charles S. relates

My bird is 14 years old. I have had him/her since being a baby!

Every day she regurgitates about a cup full in her cage!

When I leave her with an experienced bird keeper she does not do this!

They indicated that I may be petting her in a way that arouses her and that may be the problem.

She has been doing this for years.

Could it be how I’m feeding her? Usually, I feed her orange slices, 1 cracker, 2 peanuts, and a scoop of Zupreem twice a day.

Plus I give her another couple of peanuts as a treat during the day?

Rachel C. is concerned,

My African grey picks his feathers.

He has free roam of the house with a large perch in the living room.

He doesn’t like water and doesn’t like any toy I get him.

He does like the challenge of taking the lids off old pill bottles to find a treat.

He likes very few people.He definitely does not like little people. He goes outside with me and enjoys climbing around. I put him in the cage

Mitch, I am horrified at the answer you gave the woman who wrote to you asking what temperature is safe when taking her Parrot camping.

Your answer was very open-ended–too open to interpretation.

I have a very extensive science and medicine background so your answer horrified me because there are so many people of all ages with such differing temperature tolerances.

I have seen on more than 2 occasions people outside in weather in the 20s-30s Fahrenheit temperature range out and about without a jacket and in a thin shirt or top.
