I would like to ask you a question about my parakeet.
I have been thinking she could use a vitamin/supplement.
She has a very good appetite and is active but she is eating like nobody’s business.
I eat mostly organic pasta, and fruit, and a lot of baked potatoes.
Also some fish now and then.
Chris S. reached out to ask,
Does a parrotlet need a full spectrum light source?
And if so does it need it all year round if living in eastern PA?
Dear Chris
Unless you are living along the equator, no, natural lighting is not going to replicate what tropical birds need to keep their hormones level.
Rebecca A. relates,
We are the (at least) fifth home for an older yellow-nape amazon.
The only information I have from the couple that took him in before us is the previous owner died of old age, he doesn’t like outdoors, and his name is “Brindle”, and he bites… a lot. That was 4 years ago.
He is now a healthy 743 grams (appropriate for his larger than usual size frame, according to his avian certified doctor) DNA-sexed male, microchipped, well socialized, loves classical music and opera, has arthritis in his shoulders and jaw, “walking bird” who trills and plays with family and dogs.

Karen C. asks,
Have you ever experienced dealing with a bird that has developed what they are calling “bumblefoot”?
I have a parakeet that has a sore spot on the bottom of one of its feet.
When I looked it up on the internet it didn’t seem like much could be done and this little guy isn’t finger trained.
He was a rescue along with 3 other birds.
It’s quite a feat to catch him at all and I don’t want to stress him out anymore than the poor thing already is.
Kori R. enquires,
Hello
I am researching parrots.
I am looking for the best way to go about purchasing one to add to our family.
Do you sell them or do you know of a reliable source where we can purchase one?
Thank you
Kori
Lydia G. has 2 issues with my Indian Ringneck
Hi, my Indian Ringneck keeps flying back to her cage all the time when I take her around on my shoulder.
She won’t venture further than a foot away from it.
She also has a box she likes to spend time in and on.
She has toys to play with and I give her branches to rip up.
I keep going and getting her every time and repeat it quite a few times and she always goes back.
She was doing this at her previous owners too.
Gabriella M. expresses these thoughts,
I’ve always had parakeets or budgies growing up.
I’ve always had one male and we always bonded.
I taught them to speak they all knew many many words they were adorable so I’m in the market for another budgie or parakeet but could you tell me the difference?
