With their bright colors, engaging personalities, and ability to mimic human speech, it’s no wonder that they have become such popular pets.
Remember, if you don’t like to vacuum don’t get a parrot.
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?
The original question on Quora verbatim ~ “Do any bird species live only in the hollows of trees and not build their own nests? If so, what kind of bird is it and why don’t they build their own nests as other birds do”? (more…)
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?
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.
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.
Gloria W. is concerned about her budgie’s feather growth.
First – I enjoy your Sunday messages very much. Thank you.
Now a question. From all i have tried to research I think my budgie is growing primary feathers as I purchased him one wing trimmed.
Cissy R. is concerned,
Maxxi is a healthy 8yr old, female UNCLIPPED Scarlett Macaw who REFUSES TO FLY(she would rather climb down her 4ft. Perch and WALK over to me.
I know you would rather talk about smaller birds, but this seems to bother me only!
The zebra finch and canary are the most popular birds kept by pet owners, after budgies and cockatiels.
They both also have a long history in captivity, as does the society finch.
Let’s take a look at how these birds are alike and how they differ.
Similarities
If you’re considering adding a finch or a canary to your family, you might be surprised to find that a canary is a finch. So you are only choosing among finches, really.
