I am a teen in the process of saving up for a green cheeked conure while I’m still in school.

I have done a lot of research on them.

The problem is that my family also has 4 cats and a dog.

I was planning on getting a tall cage and putting in a corner so the bird has a corner to retreat to in case of a cat attacking somehow, but now I’m worried that I just shouldn’t get a bird at all so I don’t make it get hurt.

How Do I Keep My Bird Cage Warm In The Winter?

Karen P. asks,

I have a 28-year-old blue and gold macaw.

We have had her for 18 years.

She has been bare-chested most of her life.

Her big perch is in the family room, which is quite large with a cathedral ceiling.

It is hard to keep her warm.

Editor’s note: full transparency, I don’t think we’ve ever covered the subject of pet birds and hearing.

Once again a loyal reader comes through with a potentially serious issue that until now we have left opaque.

Many of us take for granted that our birds can hear but exactly how good is their hearing, how has it evolved and how do they use it?

I agree that birds will land on any perch in the wild, but caged life is different, they have to sit on the same perch all day so it needs to be comfortable, I do gymnastics and pole so I know how uncomfortable and painful it is when the pole is too wide I can’t work with it.

Green Witch asks

Hi Mitch

I’ve been enjoying your emails for some time now.

I have an umbrella and a citron cockatoo.

We’ve been searching for two manzanita branches and just haven’t found the perfect ones yet.

Would you be able to direct me in the right direction to find a good and safe branch for them?
