Dale S. has a new B&G macaw rescue and relates:

About a month ago I received a blue gold macaw as kind of a rescue, the folks that had him couldn’t handle or take care of him anymore. I am his third owner in as best they could tell me 12 years. 

I don’t have any experience with macaws prior. 

So far so good except the cage ordeal. 

The cage they gave me for him was way too small and he absolutely hated it so I built him a perch to hang out on in my basement till I could get a suitable cage for Oscar.

My 8-year-old Yellow-sided Conure is very picky about vegetables.

She will only eat three.

She likes broccoli, carrots, and snow peas.

If I try giving her sugar snap peas, which are almost the same, she knows the difference and throws them out of the bowl.

Joyce  C. shares a concern:

I purchased the small Tweeky Clean Less Mess Pet Feeder for my two cockatiels (not sharing the same cage).

Am a little worried that they will be able to find the food inside the container?

They don’t seem to notice the hole to go inside to get their seed.

The whole question from Quora was as follows:

My parakeet isn’t really active (eating, exploring, playing) until my sister’s parakeet comes around. That does this mean?

Catherine responded:

Birds of a feather flock together and you don’t have any feathers.

It sounds like your parakeet prefers the company of another parakeet and is happy when one comes by.

The actual Quora question read:

Is it okay for lovebirds to chew and swallow bits of clear paper?

The only ink it has is the one that lines the paper.
