How To Keep Budgies Warm And Plump For Winter
Wintertime in NSW Australia
G’day from Down Under,
Here in Tamworth, we are just about to go into winter.
Editors note: that’s early June Endnote
The temperature can occasionally get as low as -10c (14f), usually about 0 to -2c.
I was hoping you can advise me on what to do to look after my two little budgies and green cheeked conure through the worst of it. (more…)

Can A Macaw Parrot Get Cataracts?
Can you do anything for this?
I have a Catalina macaw she is 30.
Her right eye seems to be not as clear as her left. It’s like a very lite graying.
Sometimes she bumps into things.
Her diet consists of seeds and pellets she also gets prime vitamins in her water
Also a little treat from our dinner plates at night.
Thanks
Steven

Do Dowel Perches Harm Budgies Feet – Avian Diabetes – Shoes – Avocados
Notably absent from the prior answers (on Quora) are the words “and I inspect my bird’s feet by flipping him over and examining his feet under a magnifying glass on a regular basis.”
As a vendor of bird cages and accessories for over 25 years, we advise people to take the dowel rod perches out of the cage immediately upon assembly.

Why I Fell In Love With The Look Of Indian Ringneck Parakeets
Veronica F Replied
Hi, I live in the UK, just in case that makes a difference, which it probably doesn’t.
I am considering buying another pet bird but want to make the right choice for both the bird and myself.
I have had budgies, canaries and a cockatiel in the past, all indoor, cage birds.
I am looking for a bird somewhere between the size of a parrotlet to smaller than a large parrot-like an African Grey.

More CBD For Pet Birds – Mythbusting
Although I firmly believe that correlation does not necessarily imply causation I’m very concerned with the fact that 60% of pet birds die of malnutrition according to necropsies (animal autopsies) performed by veterinarians.
I can’t help feel the explosion of feeding “chop” to pet birds has fueled that statistic.

What Our Readers Think About Pet Birds And CBD Oil
These comments are in response to last weeks post CBD Oil – Miracle Cure For Birds Or Just The New Snake Oil
From Taryn Palo
Regarding CBD oil.
My avian vet sells it.
He’s taken care of my Umbrella cockatoo for 23 years now so I pretty much trust him.

What Are The Right Human And Commercial Foods For My Pet Bird
Shouldn’t we learn how to find the right foods for our pet birds?
Feathered factoid: as much as 30% of a bird’s calories are used in the production and maintenance of feathers.
Editor’s note: We don’t know what bird food your bird will like any more than what you like on Netflix.
“Transparent”, “Scandal” or “The Walking Dead,” shows are both loved and reviled.
We do know that instinctively your bird has a desire to “search” or “forage” for food seven days a week.

At 70 (note profile pic) I have 10 budgies and a 15 yo African ringneck, all rescues.
There is an enormous number of older rescue birds available.
BTW Dr. Karen Becker has a case study of a certified 25 yo budgie.
I personally know 30 yo cockatiels.
Most birds are rehomed because of timing, bad behavior, noise, or new children.
