Is it possible that my cockatiel has outgrown her size 5 (medium) flight suit? She was born in Feb. but lately, the suit seems to be harder to get on and “cut” into her shoulders?
Am I being a crazy birdie mom?
Thanks for your advice
Brandi T. seeks cockatiel advice:
Hi! I’ve been reading and learning from you guys for the last 8 years.
So I’m really hoping you have some advice for me!
Recently we’ve adopted a female cockatiel, Roxy.
She came from a high profile hoarding case here in Michigan.
She’s one of over 200 animals who lived under garbage, in cages of twenty plus birds, most of which were eating their mates and young.

I have a canary and am thinking about getting a Weaver finch.
Feathered factoid: Finches are part of the canary family.
At the pets store, they were in the same cage: canaries and one Weaver finch that the owner said sings beautifully.
My young canary is just starting to sing.

Questions about a harness for My African Grey.
She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.
She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.

Our cockatiel, who we rescued from our tree outside about 5-6 yrs ago, passed away Thursday.
We have a 4 yr old cockatiel.
She was only 3 months old when we got her.
The question is should we get another cockatiel for a friend for the 4 yr old?
The thread below triggered the idea for this post.
It’s time to revisit the general subject of where to put your bird when it’s out of the cage.
It’s also time to look at some common sense pet bird-keeping ideas.
From Facebook:
“How do I get my bird to stop biting my neck?”
Answer: “Don’t put them on your shoulder until the bird is trained.”

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?

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.
