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!

How Do I Stop My Hormonal Parrotlet from Biting My Husband?
Vicki M. writes
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.
My husband is not doing anything as the bird just flew over.

Is Rosewater Effective Against Feather Plucking Birds?
Angela H. writes
I read that rosewater used for cooking is good to moisturize and calm feather picking birds.
I started putting a few drops in his water twice a day and he seems calmer.
I have tried everything, including diet, toys, lights, and vet exams. Until rosewater, nothing helped. Is there a contraindication?
By the way, I add a few drops to my evening water and in my eyes.
I sleep better and my eyes are less dry.

What Kind of Bird Should I Get at 60?
Darla S asks:
Can you suggest a few medium-sized parrot species for a 1st-time owner about to turn 60y?
I am interested in moderation (moderate affection, playfulness, independence, friendliness, and noise) ability to talk would be a plus.
I still work full time, and live alone in my own house.

How Do I Help My Rescue Budgie with Splayed Leg?
From Donna E.
question: I have recently been given a parakeet with a splayed leg.
He eats and flys but he’s not very active and basically just sits in one place for long periods of time, especially if another keet doesn’t land next to him to get him moving.

Can I Train Two 1 Year Old Budgies to Fly?
Carol Wrote:
Mitch: I read on line something you wrote about the possibility of training adult budgies.
I have inherited two budgies – about 1-year-old.
They are in a cage and have never been trained.
They seem very happy with each other.
They are very active and chatty.

Mary asks
First I want to say I love your Birdie Brunch Newsletter because I can scroll through it quickly, pick out the articles I want to read, and just view those.
It’s one of only 2 newsletters I actually look at in my email!
So I have a question about beak and nail trimming.

Why Can’t I Change My Birds Eating Habits?
I recently was very excited to purchase TOPS birdseed.
Well, no matter what I do, will my 40-year-old Yellow-headed Panamanian Parrot eat any of this seed.
A lot of money wasted again.
