I have a canary winged parakeet who seems very happy but he’s very attached to me and very loud pretty much goes on all day it seems.
Lately, the only time he’s quiet is when he is eating.
Is that common or does he need companionship?

How do I keep my bird’s dander down?
Should I put a humidifier or air purifiers, in my birds’ room

I’M SO CONFUSED!!!
I read your article about extending the daylight of a hormonal bird and if that doesn’t work, setting up artificial light for 72 hours …no vet has ever recommended this and I thought it was brilliant and much better idea then lupron!!! (you’re now my go-to resource -even before a vet..and I will support you guys anyway I can!!) it makes perfect sense.

Hello Mz Tobsing
I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.
Now I have a new problem or question, please.
I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.
The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.
All the cages sit on tables.

My birds have been on Harrison’s high potency for 13 years.
They are just so healthy, I don’t want to switch.
Drugs like Lupron, Haldol, and Prozac were designed and tested by the FDA on humans.
Zero long-term testing of these drugs has been performed on any bird ~ ever.
The next time a veterinarian tells you “these are safe for your bird.”
Your response should be “please provide the data that backs up your statement.”

One of our two cockatiels passed today.
We have had a pair of males for 14 years and they were 4-6 years old when we got them.
Joey L asks:
My Cockatiel, Woody, turned 25 this year.
Is that good for a cockatiel and why do you think he is still going strong?
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.
Ricky A. makes a request
I need some advice.
I am hoping that someone could and will be nice enough to share their experiences
I recently bought a pair of cockatiels that their owners promised were a bonded male and female.
