Cream Cheese, Rescue Budgie Number 10 In Our Flock
This has become a helluva slippery slope.
0 to 10 budgies in 25 months.
They are in this big beautiful Prevue F050 aviary.
They’ve created their own micro-culture.

Think of a bunch of garden hoses banded together arbitrarily shooting water out one or the other.
As opposed to a “firehose” of information.
Now you know what fielding questions about captive bird care looks like to us.
We don’t know where it’s going to come from – Disqus, our blog, one of three ways you can contact us directly on the website or email.
Just organizing the questions is a task in-and-of-itself.

In about 24 months our household has gone from 0 to 9 birds.
Six budgies (2 males/4 females), a female Senegal (surgically sexed) and a male African ringneck (males have the ring).
I fondly call the budgies my little hooligans who have their own cage as does Peaches our 9 year old female Senegal and Keto the newest member to our family, the 17-year-old male African ringneck.
This question comes from the Google My Business community.
Unfortunately Google sets character limitations in the answer box and I felt compelled to provide a well rounded solution.
Thus you found your way to our excellent blog on nothing but pet birds and captive bird care.

good evening Mitch, we recently put up an outside aviary for our rescue Indian ring neck.
we do not have regular screening up because we were afraid it would keep out the UV Light.
should we use that because of bugs, bees and mosquitos?
We need help
Barbara Writes,
I love the new format so much, Mitch.
And I have a question regarding the video of the cockatoo and sun conure. How do you know when it’s safe to let them be together like that?
Firstly I need to address the “peanuts are bad for parrots” urban legend.
If you leave a pizza on the kitchen counter for two days it will get fungus.
Cheese in the best of circumstances will grow fungus in the refrigerator after about a week.
My husband and I have two 14-year-old African grey parrots.
We bought them from a pet store that sold only parrots when they were chicks.
They seem very healthy – have good appetites, play, scream, etc.
However, one of the birds has been losing her feathers and it is getting worse.
Name: Inna M
Hello.
We have a 7 year old African grey.
Unfortunately we made a mistake and did not train him properly.
We are having problems with his behavior.
He attacks.
He bites.
He is angry.
He only obeys one person in the house.
Is it too late to train him? Who can we turn to?
Thank you.
What to feed that beautiful feathered being in the cage across the room?
Facebook is an endless source of poorly regurgitated information about everything from bird chops to smoothies (really?)
At first I thought to myself “this’ll be fun.”
Once I started the project it was a bit more difficult than I forecasted.
I originally started with 9 YouTube channels but some favorites needed to be included not simply based upon numbers.
For those who are not following on us Facebook or our YouTube channel, you’ll note that we are ramping up our use of Fid-eo to better communicate caged bird care.
