We are not breeders nor sellers of birds. Catherine had her hand at breeding small parrots like lovebirds, finches, and cockatiels about 30 years ago.Â

Christy has a question about our favorite vitamin
Hi. Just wondering which vitamin D supplement you would recommend. I have a blind cockatoo and I don’t have bird lighting.
I’m not sure the bird’s lighting I used before didn’t cause her cataracts.Â
Carol T. is concerned about her Sun,
We just noticed that our bird, Rajah, a Sun Conure has lost his covering of feathers, under his wings and on his back. He is 15 years old. Is this concerning? He seems fine.
Thank you for your help. Carol
Here’s the place to show off your FIDS (Feathered Kids). It never ceases to amaze me the scope and dedication our readers have to the art of keeping pet birds.

Dear Mitch and Catherine,
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.Â
Hi Mitch,
I have been searching for a “helmet” for a CAG (Congo African grey vs a TAG Timneh African grey) who has a photosensitivity issue in her eye from cataract surgery.
I want to find her a device she can were to make her eyesight more comfortable.
The parakeet in the helmet jumped out at me when I saw it. Do you know anyone who might be able to fabricate such headwear for Marie?
Cissy R. has a new inquiry,
I’ve written before about my scarlet, Maxxi, who doesn’t like to fly.
Now I have another question, I am reading about ‘lighting’ for babies.
A week doesn’t go by that we are asked “how do I keep my bird from getting hurt on exposed wires”? Here are some visuals to get you started.
