Hello,
My male Amazon parrot who I’ve had for 30 years goes out of his way to attack my wife but not myself even though I grab him with gloved hands when he misbehaves.

Where Do I Place My New Conure In My Small Home
Carrie B writes:
I put money down on a conure that’s going to be coming home in two months.
I’ve been hearing not to put it in the room that you’re not going to be in regularly, but I have a small living room in my apartment and already have three chatty budgies.

Can You Recommend Bird Safe Caulk?
Susan D. F. writes
Hi Mitch,
Seymour was picking on the left side lip of my stainless steel sink the other day and I think she removed the caulk.
As of last night, I have water leaking out of the area whenever I turn the water on more than a tiny stream.

Hello,
Disagreement with the wife.

Why Has One of My 2 Quakers Gotten Bitey?
Carolyn L. writes
I have two Quakers, one green one blue Zachary and Felix.
Zach is about 7 and Felix is a sweet 2 yr old.
They are in separate cages because Zachary has gotten very nasty and attacks little Felix.
Zach bites everything and everyone!
Felix loves me and nibbles but not to hurt.
How can I get Zach to stop the biting so I can get them together?

Hi,
I think your article on birds catching the covid-19 might be misleading.
Is there evidence of transmission from humans to birds for covid19?
I think it’s highly unlikely.
While these viruses can occasionally jump between distantly related species, it’s not common.
