How Effective Are Flat Perches For African Grey’s?
Hello!
I just sent a response to my recent order for 5 more flat perches to be put into my African Grey’s cage.Â

Can A Macaw Parrot Get Cataracts?
Can you do anything for this?
I have a Catalina macaw she is 30.
Her right eye seems to be not as clear as her left. It’s like a very lite graying.
Sometimes she bumps into things.
Her diet consists of seeds and pellets she also gets prime vitamins in her water
Also a little treat from our dinner plates at night.
Thanks
Steven

Mickey And Her Senegals
Hi…I am a long-time friend of Nora…haven’t been able to contact her…so I am turning to you guys.
I will try to make a very long story short.
I adopted Kirby a 6-year-old Senegal, male, about 6 years ago. He is now about 15, not sure, don’t remember what year I got him…
Can’t get near him to read a band.
Anyway….he is a BEAST.
