Dear Kajsa
I read your voicemail and wanted to send you some suggestions.
Is the bird in pain or it has a lump so that is why your father took him to the vet?
Ask a breeder, a pet caregiver, and a bird, and you’ll receive 3 answers.
Having watched 3 juveniles go from egg to buzzing around my head, I certainly have my opinions.
I wear many hats on a daily basis.

Steve S. is concerned about the amount of corn in bird food,
He is a companion to a Goffins cockatoo AKA Tanimbar corella
Message: We have been using Harrison’s adult lifetime fine. The first ingredient is corn. We would like to cut back on her corn consumption.

Good Morning,
I loved your answer on which 3 nuts are good, WOW
My question is this, is this the time of the year where Macaws shed? My macaw the last 2 days has plucked out all of these small feathers. I am worried. HELP!!!!
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

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
As you have parakeets and have helped me in the past, I have another question.
My female budgie about 10 years old appears to have issues with crop or swallowing.Â
It’s 17 years I have my bird and his beak grows so fast, I try to clip it with a nail clipper but sometimes it bleeds, can you tell how best I can cut his beak.
Susan is seeking advice,Â
My 9-year-old conure is having an issue with his beak.
Two months ago I had his Avian vet trim his top beak as it was very long. Less than a month later his bottom beak got really long. So back to the Vet Jax went. The vet said to give him hard nuts to chew or a cuttlebone.
