My Cockatiel, Woody, turned 25 this year.

Can You Help Fix My Cockatoo’s Cloacal Prolapse?
Yvonne B writes,
My male Umbrella cockatoo 17 yrs has cloacal prolapse for many years. He eats a variety of fruits, vegetables, pasta, oatmeal, egg whites besides a variety of pellets.
We make sure food is room temp and not warm.
He gets petted on his head and neck.
Very active and is very used to us cleaning around that area.

My male parrotlet is 1 year 6 months old and takes big chunks out of my husband. He’ll be watching tv and the bird will fly over and take a chunk out of him. There’s no reason for this.

Can the coronavirus infect cats and dogs?
Coronaviruses are not particularly hard to please when it comes to potential hosts — they’ve been detected in many mammal and bird species, including dogs and cats, as well as livestock like cows, chickens and pigs. Read more
Hi,
I think your article on birds catching the covid-19 might be misleading.
Is there evidence of transmission from humans to birds for covid19?
I think it’s highly unlikely.
While these viruses can occasionally jump between distantly related species, it’s not common.

Are Peanuts Making My Blue Crown Conure Itch?
Ward asks
My blue crown conure of at least 25yrs is acting odd. He seems to be scratching and bobbing as well as if he’s just very uncomfortable.
I recently ordered some peanuts in the shell and would give him 3-4 each day as a treat.
I started noticing very small moths in my home that lead back to the bag of peanuts that was teaming with larvae.
Do you think my conure is in danger from eating these peanuts?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Are My Parakeet Babies Dying Due to Inbreeding?
This super rare mutation (above) is what is known as the Feather Duster budgie. They are bred for their unusual feather growth which results in shortened lifespans.
Cynthia H. asks
I have been raising parakeets for 6+ years and even handfed and took to bird stores to sell, but in the last couple of years I didn’t hand feed and they all crossbred with each other, I did not have the time to take to keep them separated.

Hello, I Have a Very Hormonal Male Sun Conure!
Christina writes
Hello! I have a very hormonal male sun conure around ~10 years old. When he is out of his cage with me, all he wants to do is regurgitate anywhere and everywhere and go in my clothes.
Even in his cage, he regurgitates on things and humps some of his toys. I’m just not sure what kind of setup I can provide for him that will calm him down and let him play and have interests other than mating. 🙁
Do you have tips? Most tips seem to be for female birds, I’ve never had such a hormonal male though!
