From Donna E.
question: I have recently been given a parakeet with a splayed leg.
He eats and flys but he’s not very active and basically just sits in one place for long periods of time, especially if another keet doesn’t land next to him to get him moving.

First I want to say I love your Birdie Brunch Newsletter because I can scroll through it quickly, pick out the articles I want to read, and just view those.
It’s one of only 2 newsletters I actually look at in my email!
So I have a question about beak and nail trimming.
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.
I wear many hats at Windy City Parrot.
About 30% of my week I wear my CMO hat which means Chief Marketing Officer.
In keeping well-versed in marketing I read a huge amount of content.
One recurring theme I see is this is the way I should be marketing to millennial’s.
The perfect way to market to millennial’s is……..
I would like to know how I can get my male Timneh not to be too territorial around his cage cause he’s a real sweetheart and a mush when he’s not guarding his cage door.
I want to buy a budgie, but my mom says that they are birds that can cause “brain paralysis”.
We live in Canada, so I’m pretty sure they’re careful about things like that.
Anyhow, could it be true?

Hi Mitch,
I have an African Grey, Puccini and a Blue Fronted Amazon, Hitchcock.
They have been family members for dozens of years but the dander from Pu is starting to get to me.

Can you please tell me what oils are safe to use once in a while in my diffusers?
I have used Scentsy, and also bath and body works candles not a lot of use at all as the scents sort of even bother me!

Recent studies by the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology are now finding that not only do birds have a sense of smell but it can be as important to birds as it is to fish or even mammals.
Hello!
I just sent a response to my recent order for 5 more flat perches to be put into my African Grey’s cage.
He was sold to me without toenails, and when I questioned the store owner, he told me “they’d grow back” which they never have.
