Georgia P. asks:
Is it absolutely necessary that my budgies be let out of the cage? One got out twice and was out 3 hrs refusing to get near his cage.
Finally, I had to catch him and put him back.
Did everything to get him back in…treats, toys.

I have a canary and am thinking about getting a Weaver finch.
Feathered factoid: Finches are part of the canary family.
At the pets store, they were in the same cage: canaries and one Weaver finch that the owner said sings beautifully.
My young canary is just starting to sing.

Questions about a harness for My African Grey.
She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.
She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.

Our cockatiel, who we rescued from our tree outside about 5-6 yrs ago, passed away Thursday.
We have a 4 yr old cockatiel.
She was only 3 months old when we got her.
The question is should we get another cockatiel for a friend for the 4 yr old?
The thread below triggered the idea for this post.
It’s time to revisit the general subject of where to put your bird when it’s out of the cage.
It’s also time to look at some common sense pet bird-keeping ideas.
From Facebook:
“How do I get my bird to stop biting my neck?”
Answer: “Don’t put them on your shoulder until the bird is trained.”

I have a very hormonal lovebird.
Very. Hormonal.
To the extent that he is wearing the feathers away from his body from rubbing against his perch and his tail is all scraggly from grabbing it with his foot to balance himself.
At first, I was taking him to the “best avian vet in the state” who wanted to give him monthly shots at $45 a pop.
Stacy T. asks:
Are your indoor aviaries suitable for outdoor use?
Any articles on letting amazon have outdoor time in summer?
We live in SIL.
Seemed like last time I put him out he had some allergies around his eyes.
Lorraine H. asks
How do I keep my bird’s dander down?
Should I put a humidifier or air purifiers, in my birds’ room

My bird is a plucker and your recent article about lighting is something I’d like to try.
I’m not sure what full-spectrum light to purchase as he has a cage that has a solid play top.
Linda Kay asks:
Hello Catherine- wondering if you can help, maybe a suggestion, we know you can’t make a diagnosis.
We have a young (1 yr) female budgie that suddenly (overnight) became wobbly, has a hard time perching, tucks her head in her wing, and has lost interest in all budgies in the flight (12) even a best buddy.
